Making profitable decisions in the physical world requires
the greatest knowledge possible regarding the conditions,
while decision making in man’s intangible realm needs incomplete knowledge;
indeed: the greater the gaps,  the more readily is a decision forthcoming.
Too much knowledge about Camelot makes it difficult to decide if
Lancelot is a hero or not.
(“Please O please don’t tell me this is in any way pertinent to
the incorporeal world inside of me!”)

One guy offers:
“Trying to think about some matter as being particularly dumb
won’t necessarily make it so     ----     but it’s worth a try.”

The Up Side.
Not knowing the answer to a question about any matter in man’s other reality
puts you at no disadvantage.
(“I think you calling this an: 'Up Side' is a joke of some sort.”)

The Apparent Party.
If you wait for them to invite you  --
by the time you get there all the good stuff will be gone.
(Another reason the real-deal-man only dates himself    [spiritually speaking.])

Fo Gigure.
Under city conditions: suffering does sometimes bring out the best in people  --  but: this does not include those doing the suffering.

“Stupid” is a stupid synonym for “boring.”

Said a father to a son:
“If you were to slip out of my grip, you’d start to think whatever they want you to."

“Stupid” is also a nom de plume for: letting-someone-else-look-after-your-business.

Question; Why is history so popular?
Answer: ‘Cause it’s so cheap to produce.

Everybody’s on a short list     ----      if they get to make the list.

Wafting through city air a voice cried out, again and again:
“My name is Ogygia!  --  have you seen Calpyso?
My name is Ogygia   --  have you seen Calpyso?"  --  think about it:
a place of dubious existence seeking a figure of doubtful reality,
and with the environment taking the matter so seriously that it made the news.
Note: It is by such improbable intrigues and mental slaloms
that man’s other reality succeeds and confounds.

One guy's ongoing motto is: “Hey! --  let’s get serious!”
(Which he wants to privately note is a joke...........but has no one to note it to.)
When you stir up a pot of stupidity there may be no one to get stung but you.

Expanded Exploration Of Certain Intellectual Choices Available To Man.
You can either: have the lights on, or: have the lights out --  and furthermore:
you can be either: pleased, or: displeased about the presence or absence of light.
Note: Imparting binary choices in a situation can make it seem more promising
than the actual conditions dictate.
For change to occur in the city, all that is needed is for the mind (via words)
to be led to believe it has occurred.
This accounts for instance, for the greater efficiency of religion over physics, architectural literature over bridge building.
And all of this folderol caused one man to suddenly ponder:
“Can you be either: stupid and distracted, or: enlightened and alert, just by
making the choice?” --  and a voice coming from some where said: “Get real!”

Question: Why is torpidity so popular?
Answer: ‘Cause so many people aren’t absolutely sure what the word means.
When you shake up a can of confusion you may be the only one who gets splattered.

Legend tells of a super linguistically-proper planet where the inhabitants
were not permitted to say or write certain words  --
then one day a man appeared who asked:
“So why did you make up those words to begin with?”  --
a question no one had ever thought about, and which
suddenly shook the entire world from a previously unnoticed stupor.
(And this tale moved one chap to muse:
“I suppose I could take this alleged planet to be my own mind?!”)

Conversation.
“Hey Dad: what’s the latest of the silliest things you’ve ever heard?”
     “Men speaking of something being a: no brainer.”

The constant movement of the herd is always trampling out a message  --
can you hear it?  --
can you hear it?  --   why sure you can  --
you just never thought about it before.
(Note: There are actually two messages:
one you hear if you are IN the herd  --   the other if you are not.
“Damn!  Ain’t that true about everything.                               Damn!”)

Regarding Thought And Familiarity.
If you think about a thing often enough  --  it will become your friend.
    "Who needs friends like THAT!"

Regarding Thoughts As Possessions.
One man’s motto thereabout:
     “When in doubt  --  throw it out.”

Regarding Thoughts And One's Intimate Affairs.
One man broke up with himself  --  but didn't mention it to anyone.

Regarding The Great Struggle Of Ideas.
One man refuses to sign his name to any of the thoughts that occur in his mind,
“Just in case,” says he, “There is a War Crimes Tribunal
after the present hostilities conclude.”
(A good city rule-of-finger is that: if you know you are going to ultimately be sorry,

*“Okay, let me guess: No one ever catches on to what’s going on by being anything in particular.”
