.DOGMA I

[wolven7]

There are many things i want to learn. Truth be told, i'd rather be taught them by friends. I want to learn molecular biology, and physics. I want to learn advanced calculus, and neurochemist{ry}. I want to learn the intrinsics of higher level programming, and work on developing AI, and nanotechnology. I want a deep understanding of quantum mechanics.

There are lots of things i want to learn, and i think all of those things i would rather Friends and/or Family teach me. Or learn with me. Because it would be a personalised, understanding pace. That's not saying that i can't learn them, without it, simply that i'd prefer, and think it'd be easier to learn from/with friends. You know?

Simply things going through my mind, as i read more Gödel, Escher, Bach. . . Things i want... &c...

Later.

I am all for studying quanta with you and researching AI, but why in the Hell would you want to subject yourself to calculas of any level? have you been drinking the Cuthul-Aid again?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Because i used to be Very good at maths. Very Very good... and i'm Not, anymore. I've let myself go. And i want it back, on as many levels as possible.

As there is a reason ancient artifacts are buried under tons of sand, there may be a reason you forgot Calculus. Maybe someone was trying to warn you.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I don't take warnings given without explanation.

As is your right, but omens and such have to be efficiently delivered. There is more at stake than one's comfort level with being asked to do this as opposed to that.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

See, that's where i disagree. I think every one's comfort level Is, in fact, at risk, in the scheme of things. If not, then there's not a lot of point, if you think about it.

[momentai.livejournal.com]

The point would be to better yourself, help someone better themselves, cook a better turkey. The goal is more important than whter or not you approve of how you got there. If you are more interested in being at peace with all yur decisions, then what's the point of the goal?

I am not advocating abandoning your morals, just saying that you don't have to understand every choice the moment you make it.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

But i'm saying that you should. Or, at the Very least, understand the Nature of it. My personal beliefs.

[Partially] Hence the title of the entry.

[momentai.livejournal.com]

Yes, i would hope they were your personal beliefs since I am messaging with you. Now, is it worth impeding your own progress simply to make sure you are aware of why you make every choice at every step?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Quite honestly, i'm of the belief that with practice comes Ease. The more you consider, the easier considering becomes. It doesn't remain a Chore, for very long, that way.

[momentai.livejournal.com]

Considering has never been difficult for me. I consider and analyze e/t. I feel that's why it is so difficult to talk to people. The folks I tend to meet are never into thinking or talking about Life the way i want to.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Maaybe not the way you want to, but they may be thinking, in their way. Or they may be not thinking, at all. *shrug*

[momentai.livejournal.com]

In the sense that this conversation would not have been possible with other pple I know b/c I would have "bored" them.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Ah. Understood.

[unknownbinaries.livejournal.com]

Hmm. This kind of crystallizes...That I Don't Know what I want. *sighs* Something I need to sit and figure out. Thanks for the unintended clue-by-four. :)

[wolven.livejournal.com]

That barely scratches the surface of what i Want, out of life... which, itself, is still pretty simple.... It's simply... what i want of myself to get me there... I don't know.. i'm not explaining well...

And you're welcome.
