wolven7First of all, irked by the simple fact of scientific reductionism. Reductionism, in general, without taking to a fully realised conclusions. Symmetry means "a harmonic arrangement of parts," yes? And yet people also rail against any form of circularity of definition as uninformative, and invalid.

I don't know who said it, initially, but I think it's rather sad that people don't think that God would have been smart enough to come up with evolution. Why can things not be taken as metaphor and truth, accurate description and story, at the same time? What is so inconsistent about that? Show me where and why, make it make sense to me and you, and we'll see how it works out.
I hate it when people think that paradox is the end of the world. Paradox is the beginning of the world. Without it, we would not exist. We would still be nothing, floating in nothing, not thinking about anything, because ther would be nothing about which to think. Rather than realised nothingness, made into something, by something about ourselves, and the universe.
If quantum physics is true, then everything must be true and not true, permitted and forbidden. All we can do is choose.
Sartre pissed me off, today. I can choose the good for me, without asserting that it is the good, for all, at least on certain levels. Because, over-all, I'm going to want other people to do the same. But you know what? I know, and can work toward accepting that not everyone will. Because that's not what is "Good" for them. I can make that good for me.
God damn it, i'm so angry i'm not even connecting my paragraphs properly. Fuck it. I'm going home, to watch "Ravenous," and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." I'm in an R mood.
