assume the worst. assume the position.
"---i knew i should have checked your showboating globe trotter algebra.
---man, i thought you knew that algebra was all raz-ma-taz. a globe trotter always saves the good algebra for the final minutes."
so im reading over my notes on buddhism, and check this out: this is not tolerance. you do not tolerate other things, you embrace them. teach by example. it is an offering, not a commandment. "come and see", i offer it as a gift. do not carry me on. leave me when you have crossed. allow me to take you to the other side of the river. i will show you the way, then you must be free. worrying is okay, but be mindful... dont let the future ruin you. i think those are all things my teacher told me, or really told my class.
"youd sacrifice a beautiful woman for a moderately attractive ape? you must have smoked some bad granola."
bite the bullet.
everythings profound. these are all from the syllabus for intro to abstract algebra, which shouldnt be as exciting as it was:
write out the words
you expect this of me therefore i expect it of you
please communicate with me
whichever is more favorable to you
learning is primarily your responsibility
i am in an underlining mood
questions are encouraged
distinguishable: the same or different
ellipsis.
i dont see too much of a difference between being highly attracted to someone and being in love with them... is that a problem?
"a few of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet."
seems the best parts are always missing.
leap then look
isnt that delicious!?
we have all these things, but i dont know where they came from.
ive noticed that it is uncertainty that gets to me. it might result from my analytical/scientific nature, but even uncertainty with bounds is much more comforting to me than complete uncertainty. do you think we could quantify ambiguity? at the very least i think it makes a nice phrase; quantify ambiguity.
i think the lie is probably the worst invention mankind has ever devised, right next to the reflection.
threats of physical violence and guilt are the methods by which most religions coerce good behavior, which in my opinion is just plain bad behavior. just like how parents who tend to 'forbid' their children from doing things motivate their kids to do those things.
why do i seem to have an irrationally rational mind? does that even make sense? i have an impressionable mind. i tend to reject tradition, and yet i also tend to fear and avoid change. i noticed dan is very good at accepting and dealing with change, and yet he preserves traditions in his program. it seems very foreign to me. i before e except after r.

and you open the door and you step inside. now imagine your pain is a white ball of healing light. thats right; your pain, the pain itself, is a white ball, of healing light... ...i dont think so.

why cant money solve all problems? there is some reason, i just dont quite see it. any clue anyone?

people are just a bunch of chemicals.
"unregistered sex offender notifies neighborhood in his own way"
i am okay now with seeing no purpose in life, yet appreciating people anyway. the key came from dawkin's book: although i see no grand purpose or meaning to life, i do expect to "have a good lunch". and in general, i do. and also therefore care about people, which i do.
"stand by to take the blame... steady, hold it... now!" -zapp
wash your eyes out with soap. math of soda can balancing? ball-gag barbie? gormet buffett. risk and reward will always have the same relationship. all bubbles burst. peaches and cream¿ stackability? all directions turn red. my eyes cant tell. language is STUPID.
"we have to go to holland and smoke pot, and get so high we make shoes out of wood" -Colbert
why is it that human problems appear intractable? it seems they should require considerably fewer steps to solve than the typical real world math problem. the only reason i can see immediateily is that people dont want their problems solved, but that seems odd... it seems a problem should be something someone wants solved. although the automated proof checking comes to mind, and it seemed to illustrate that WAY more information is contained in even the simplest mathematical proofs than i would have expected. which implies that perhaps human problems are far more complex than i would initially suspect.
and then the 1000 chips delicious song plays.
"i think when i sneezed, i got toast up my nose" -Tom
its probably more afraid of you than you are of it.
today at work my head briefly felt like a radio when you are switching stations... as if i just heard bits and fragments of songs, people, movies, phrases, ideas, or whatever else... it had pictures too, but that wasnt as distracting.
tie me up. tie me down.

heaven knows that im a fake
"how did you do? --- how did i do? i passed! but i failed! yeah! --- well then im happy and sad for you."
should you congratulate me on losing? cause i play to lose.
when you listen to songs, do you ever think of yourself as the singer? do you ever think of yourself as a person being sung to? do you ever think of other people you know as the target of the lyrics?
all gravel and glass. we're both so sorry.
heaven knows that we're all faking it.
look up, look up.
all these lyrics, they dont add up at all.
and i'll think, hey what luck
such magnificancies take me in divinity
and we'll all live on live on the beautiful beast
wrestling the tension I don't want to need
mirah is really cool.
in this city, i feel as if anything that stands still too long is suspect. but i keep standing here anyway. i look everywhere for something to interest me, but it all fails miserably.
and now im thinking that i would like this planet more if it took 36 hours to rotate; but my memory says in high school i said the same thing, only with 30 instead of 36 hours, so maybe its worse.
