Reality mediates a shattered paradox

of nothing and everything at the same time
reflected at the mirror of consciousness
of something

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

(E.Y.(Yip) Harburg)

Nature subtracts to neutralize paradox,

and adds to enhance agreement.

Civilizati­ons are made in times of conflict and unmade in times of peace,

and made in times of peace and unmade in times of conflict.

The present is a running summary of the difference between the two.

Rich is the man who is the master of his time.

It isn't written in the stars that we're going to succeed.

But in the end we hope we will have a single theory that governs everything.

(Steven Weinberg)

We are Anonymous,

we are legion,
we do not forgive,
we do not forget,
expect us.

One needs solitude and quiet to think.

(Chris Hedges)

The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction,

for war is a drug.

(Chris Hedges)

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

You are already naked.
There is no reason not to follow your heart.

(Steve Jobs)

1. The world is everything that is the case.

2. What is the case, the fact, is the existence of atomic facts.


(Wittgenstein, Tractatus)
