Life has become too complicated not to be recompensed in a manner which would be way more than enough if we lived in a more, say, tribal culture. Too bad cyber-sitting can’t be viable. I’d gladly look after your son a while! My thoughts are with you on your loss. Six years is just six years. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 12:02 pm Thanks for the work you put into this Cher. Interesting about testing as a great way to study. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 5:22 pm The Crisis of Reality:Conclusions *Curtsey*, Mizzy Cher. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 4:34 pm Searching is different from finding and wonderment. I think you search to reach the place where you can start discovering with a certain amount of wonderment and ability to withstand attendant pain and joy. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 4:19 pm I love how Cher casually drops a crisis in our midst and then says “ta ta” 😉 » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 11:55 am PW, you may have fun with this:

In this case the thing that’s raveling your sleave. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 11:50 am PW, the subject of this piece is also what is the answer to a larger question, not only from the standpoint of how we choose to see something, but how that seeing may change us in non-quantifiable terms. When asking the right question for the problem we may also see how the nature of the problem and the momentary solution changes us to see it differently. I don’t see it as static. There is no “right” question really, unless one is dealing purely with a Cartesian world. Cher writes about the emotional, the yearning, the irrational impositions upon our perceptions of the world and how those elements bounce back upon us in a dynamic while we try to “make sense of it all”. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 10:47 am Context is everything as is non-context and the influence of time of what was or is becoming true. The notion of being at the same moment an individual and a member of a group illustrates context. For we exist as both and can be seen as resonating between two existences and contexts, much like carbon atoms in a benzene ring, I suppose. If we don’t see that we are both and know how to straddle both existences, we run the risk of becoming members of the Republican party. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 10:00 am I think Sarah Palin would say: “You’ve been lyin’ when ya shudda been a truthin’…and we were meant for shootin’ and that’s just what we’ll do, and one of these days we’ll be shootin’ til the Rapture’s takin’ you”. duh-duh duh, duh, duh-duh duh, duh…. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 9:54 am If the real question is based on what we want to see, then it fluctuates between and fractionates into many things. I understand your point quite well. We have only to witness how many in this country prevail with their truths and realities that are based on subjective, i.e. emotional realities. They want to see the water as THEIR water and no one else can drink from their cup that they already see as half empty. I’m not sure whether I’d agree that objective and subjective are two very different things. I think they are two sides of the same coin or two elements of a dimension that may be defined as “true”. True suffers when it is not seen through at least the dimension of time. For, there are times when seeing water as your water and no one else’s is true for you. Just like getting out of the way of a falling tree is true for someone who does not want to be crushed, but not true for someone who wants to die. Or not true for the person who at one time did not want to be crushed but upon a second occasion is apathetic enough not to get out of the way. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 9:37 am That, PW, I think is the starting point of the entire discussion, how we see that path from A to B. Perhaps we should see the truth as the sound of the falling tree both existing and not existing. Truth is a human construct and therefore solipsistic to an extent in and of itself; certainly mutable as evidenced by evolving truths over time. Truth implies assessment and assessment implies vantage point and vantage point implies localization and we know, thus far, that localization is not truth as we know it in the non-local quantum world. So, even if we were in the forest and heard the tree fall, what sort of truth would that be? » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 9:13 am Can’t we say people had the courage *to be* when they thumbed their noses at entropy and became the liquid envelops of negentropy they are with a sweeping consciousness able to contemplate things like *God*? Being a life form that harnesses the laws of thermodynamics to simply exist is enough *courage to be*. But what about the *More*? From what I can gather, what James is saying is that the religious impulse is the antidote to living in existential guilt, living a life with no meaning. If that is the rescue and salvation, then God and religion is the impulse to idealize the self in accordance with what may be seen as variations on hardwired human values: faith, hope, charity, etc… but those things mirror what is hoped also to be a *caring universe*. What if the universe has no opinion? We can either shoehorn our subjective truth that the universe is caring or not and live accordingly. That psychology, psychotherapy and religion occupy much shared space on the Venn diagram is not surprising. Losing one’s pain in the collectivity of religion and hope, or in the collectivity of shared blogging, is normal as we are social creatures and that is hardwired, along with the values aforementioned. But when we are alone, what then? That existential crisis can be mollified by either losing the self in the collective or losing the self in something else. That something else, I think, is not only the courage to be, but the courage to create. If God created, then to be more divine, we must create as well. God is the monistically projected representation of the existence of our own consciousness and the consideration of it’s own demise. *God*, therefore, is the mergence of the particulate and anti-particulate held within an entity which can only exist because of a mutual allowance of the other; but with the addition of something beyond the aspects of being and non-being. That is the creative impulse, as well as the pro-creative one. Death is not only the muse of philosophy, but the muse of creativity as well. Just look at what Shakespeare did in the opening sonnet. He created in the face of death as the ultimate response. » Posted By Moist Robot On February 28, 2011 @ 8:58 am Brigitte Bardot and Claudia Cardinale duking it out should win.

Really well processed thoughts about the issue. I will be quoting you at my next cocktail party so I sound “thinky”.
