and if the notion is that you can redefine things into existence (that is, take a concept, any concept, and change the definitions enough so that it is true according to the letter of the definition [versus the ineffable spirit of it]), then could you perhaps use this to generate a self-reflective model of memory? … [Read more…]
and yet on the subject of wise uses of time, there exists an interesting kind of reward for truly novel behavior, perhaps, a sort of “refined taste” that might be able to leap above the past tendencies, the past histories, and break through into truly virgin territory, perhaps and on that note, perhaps, there might … [Read more…]
and if the way out is to let go of the past, of the future, and really see what it’s like to join forces with the moment, perhaps there is a way to transcend all this negativity, all this doubt, all this fear? and from the point of view of a person learning, crafting, growing, … [Read more…]

Letting yourself remember, forgetting to forget—is such a thing possible, the latter? Does such imply an effect of remembering (which seems correct, to be honest; it seems more likely that things are always-remembered rather than typically-forgotten) as natural? And therein lies the question, yes: what are some of the fundamental processes by which memes (M’s) … [Read more…]
so, if we turn around, and rephrase life in systematic ways, can we better understand what’s happening? that is, there is a lot written about life being this, or being that; is there a way to abstract, to transcend, to rise above, to distill, and by doing so, grow peace? can we make sense of … [Read more…]
