Chaos, patterns
Sunday, April 30th, 2006What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized.
What we call random is just patterns we can’t decipher.
What we can’t understand we call nonsense.
What we can’t read we call gibberish.
There is no free will.
There are no variables.
There is only the inevitable.
Lots of blank space…
Friday, January 6th, 2006~neversummer: “Just imagine: there’s a plain white paper. I take a pen, and draw a black dot in the middle of the paper. And I show it to you, what do you see on the paper? A black dot of course? I’ll tell you what I see in the paper, There’s a lot of blank space on the paper.”
Epidemics in friendships
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005Charlie described to me once what epidemics did to human relationships in past centuries, how diseases made men shun the infected and fear the healthy, until parents and children wouldn’t sit at the same table with each other, and the whole body politic began to rot. You don’t get sick if you stay to yourself, I told him, sympathizing with those who took to the hills. Then Charlie looked at me, and in ten words made the best argument in favor of doctors that I’ve ever heard, which I think applies equally well to friendships. Maybe not, he said. But you don’t get well that way either.
