Father
so posed to a son: “How come no human, if at all civilized,
is
ever born being totally satisfied with what they are? -- and:
how
come the more civilized you are the more you are dissatisfied with you?”
One
man says: “I have no problem with what other people do,
for
I have no interest in what they do.
(Wish
I could hold the same attitude toward some of my thoughts.)”
How
To Think Better (Short Version)
If
you save the best for later -- you won’t have a later.
And
A Conversation Pertinent Thereto
“Ideas
are just like food: there’s always more where that came from.”
“But you are wrong: there is no endless supply of food.”
“Nay,
you are wrong: what is it that you think we all stand on every day!”
--
and
by then the second man was no longer sure if they were talking about
food
and the Earth, or mind and thoughts.
Man’s
intellect is the world’s only structure whose construction process
produces
its building plans.
Those
who like to play the game of asking:
“Which
came first: the chicken or the egg?”
miss
the real fun of pondering: “Why man’s interest in such games?”
Hormones
make you fat -- neurons make you suffer over it.
“Which
came first: me being born as I am,
or
me being prepared to be dissatisfied therewith no matter what?”
Conditions
present threats -- thoughts make you worry about them;
the
certain man’s motto (if he had one) would be: Bow
to but the inevitable
(but
don’t even let it see you doing so -- not in words or thoughts).
Another
barometer by which to measure the continuing health and expansion of ordinary
man is that his life becomes increasing one of talk.
One
professor’s most memorable comment to date:
“Many
people who attempt to speak French, even though their rhetorical delivery
seems appropriate, do not actually understand what they are saying --
........also
true for Greek, German, and Chinese, et al.”
One
man reasoned that if he developed synonyms for everything he thought,
he
would have twice as much to think about;
but
as is common in a binary realm -- it didn’t quite work out
that way.
One
chap pondered: “If both poverty and excesses are insult to human propriety,
then
what to wear to The Beggar’s Ball for charity?”
(his
half brother suggested a little: off-the-shoulder-irony
--
and
right there is another example of the inherent frustration in trying to
get to
the
end of any verbal inquiry in a world of polarized linguistics and thought).
One
man’s offering: “If your hormones don’t care -- you don’t care”
--
true,
but: Ah! how it seemeth otherwise!
The
spirit of the seas is silent, but it moveth the waves to roar.
Family
News
Parents
are born into their positions;
it
is only children who must look for work.
“Pa
pa: me suspecteth he be speaking not of parent and child,
but
of hormones and neurons.”
“Ye suspecteth well, old sport.”
The
more that what you know you got from other people
the
more do you -- through your own mouth and un credited --
want
to pass it on to other people --
this
be why the racket of the market place is not superior to the sounds of
the
university classroom (that is, for men who know things entirely on their
own.)
One
man explained his absence from the city’s prayer rituals
by
noting that anything he had to say to god, he’d tell him to his face:
another
unwitting display of apparently free-wheeling thoughts’ confused attitude
toward the genetic temperament which drives them...........or, maybe not;
read
it again and see if it is possibly the right-on-the-money view.
That
is one of the nice features of having determined to take away from
life’s
collective processes, responsibility for your thoughts, and assume control
over them yourself (that is):
you
are then unnaturally capable of looking at any magnet and observing both
poles simultaneously, thus grasping in an instant, the full working essence
thereof.
Being
born of ordinary mind limits a man’s scrutiny of life to the binary-based
rational: a boon, in that: ergo does science make sense and technology
work
concerning
the physical side of life man studies;
his
examination of the non physical side of his life is likewise confined,
but
resulting in no measurable benefit -- no objective harm either
--
it
is simply a wash;
the
verbal conclusions about their intangible lives that men draw from polarized
perspectives can never present anything that any rational man can in any
way
quantify
objectively:
all
that can come from a routine man’s mouth is a meaningless expression of
either
his subjective like or dislike for conclusions already on the public table,
produced entirely by the mechanics of his own genetic temperament.
Hey, hey! -- what d’ya say?!
“It ain’t me talkin’ -- it’s my DNA!”
Men
comprehend totally that their genes are unquestionably responsible for
what
they are physically, but their genes also make them deny this
concerning
what they are temperamentally and thus verbally.
(In
this instant case, do you have to be asked again whether it is super neat
or what?!)
Even
common minds can find endless examples of questions concerning
non
tangibles for which there seems to be no-way-out,
but
only he of the unconventional cortex ever sees there is also, no-way-in
--
which
turns the inner life ordinary men perceive as chaotic stampedes by wild
horses into orderly, entertaining races on an endless oval track (in medical
terms):
no
disease can harm you that can make no progress -- or:
no
delusion can fool you that cannot go past the initial stage of
introducing
itself to your mind AS a delusion (aka):
the
first moment of being mentally ordinary is not the problem,
(inasmuch
as it merely establishes the neural ground rules for a routine existence)
--
it
is all of the moments that come afterward --
the
rest of your life after the initial ignition of consciousness, and the
appearance of thoughts in your brain (to wit): the first second of being
executed is never deadly --
it
is that which comes after that kills you.
Ergo
does the certain man never stick around after the opening bell --
Bam!
-- the sound,
and the race to no place is on.
“Pa
pa, is this connected to the fact that you never see anyone on the back
of
the
certain man’s steed?!”
