About Me
..i'm insane because i've realized that the difference between good and evil is as random as an unobserved quantum particle dancing on the interferential waves of unseen energy what’s your excuse? here are my answers to numbers 8 and 9 in my philosophy quiz (heros section): the purpose of my being is the same as the purpose of all being (of anything). i like to explain it this way: life (a.k.a. my existence, your existence, all of existence) has a purpose. there are two things i believe that help me understand purpose: * a powerful measure of my life's worth can be derived from it's frailty, it's finite nature. only through the inevitability of my own demise can i truley become one with purpose. * * i must take responsibility for being a participant in the delivery of my own fate. from my very inception through to my ultimate transformation from the realm of the living, i am a being of willing choice. * the following is the reason why those two statements are true: you and i and all things in this universe are an abstraction from a self-contained paradoxically infinite being that is without peer, reference or even definition. (unless one agrees to define this being by the only thing it is not: nothingness, and even that's debatable). because this being has no point outside of itself to find reference, it cannot even discover its own meaning, nor assign self-worth. worth can only be gained by comparison. there isn't anything comparable to the infinite. you and i are a conscious choice by the infinite tao, god, or whatever, to create a finite and self-aware vessel which can grasp the need for purpose, but is not burdened with being a peerless and eternal thing which can reside only in a continuum of its own creation. by abstracting itself into a limited and flawed material creature, the infinite tao can now seek answers about its own worth. we don't just have any pedestrian purpose in this world. we can and do sit in judgment of the very essence of all things - the basic choice to exist; for anything to exist. you are god's sub-conscious desire to determine if anything should persist . . . or perhaps perish. should you or i answer our own question of purpose, we may in fact be answering a question posed by infinity. should you decide that existence is futile, perhaps the tao and all things with it will follow suit. to summarize (if i lost you) my purpose is to define god.

i enjoy writing poetry i also enjoy philosophizing random thoughts from a tao apprentice determinism requires all things to be divined within a context and to define the future of all things; the tao requires all things to be divined without a context and to be defined by the future of all things existentialism denies external purpose and embraces nothingness; the tao denies external nothingness and embraces purposelessness __________ if an infinite number of possibilities exist, what are the odds that for the solution to any one possibility there would not exist a mathematical formula? __________ from the tao, the only death is life; the only disease is immortality; the only fear is joy; the only pain is feeling fine; human is all things the tao can never be and nothing the tao hasn't been __________ i can look in my daughter eyes and know that i've only myself to blame or thank and (i hope) she'll look in mine the same __________ the tao is to nothingness as a metaphor is to infinity __________ A Koan from the Telecom Corridor A technician in an office building walks into his co-worker's cubical and sees her sitting there, typing on a computer. The technician asks her "how it's going?" "It's going all-right" she says, not looking up. "How can you tell?" the technician asks. "How can you ask?" replies the co-worker, who has stopped typing but continues to stare blankly ahead towards her computer screen. "Because I couldn't" the technician responded, quizzically. "Couldn't what?" asked the co-worker, becoming interested and beginning to look up in the direction of the technician. "Tell," replied the technician. "Tell what?" "How it's going." "But you did," said the co-worker, smiling serenely. "Did what?" asked the confused technician. "Tell." "Tell what?" "How it's going." "How did I do that," pleaded the technician, "especially since I just told you I couldn't tell how it's going and because of that I was motivated to ask you how in the first place?" The co-worker moved her head in a gentle rhythmic pattern, side to side. She slowly closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair as if listening to a distant or non-existent sound that causes tranquil sleepiness. "I'll tell you," the co-worker said quietly. "You were able to tell how it's going by asking me." "But I'm not convinced that you know how it's going, thus I was compelled to ask how you could tell." "And I'm not convinced that you want to know how I can tell how it's going, thus I was compelled to ask you how you can ask." "Why wouldn't I want to know how you can tell how it's going?" "Why wouldn't I know how to tell how it's going?" "Because I couldn't." "But you did." "Yes, I remember," droned the technician, sarcastically. "Supposedly I was able to tell how it's going by asking you. The only problem with that is that you still haven't convinced me that you know how to tell." "Then you must also remember that you still haven't convinced me you want to know how I can tell." "But I just asked you, didn't I?" "And I just told you, didn't I?" "Yes . . . wait, no, you didn't tell me how you know how to tell how it's going. You never did. "The technician was looking intently at the co-worker, silently demanding her full attention. "I want an answer right now! How can you tell how it's going, and please don't worry about whether or not you're convinced I really want to know; just kindly answer the question?" The technician held his steely gaze onto the eyes of the co-worker. The co-worker took a small breath and seemed to become resigned to answering this one simple question posed so succinctly by the technician. "I can tell how it's going because . . ." "How, how, HOW???" cried the technician. "Only because you asked me," she said, as she lay comfortably in the bottom of a small wooden boat in a still mountain lake. A pleasant breeze whistled through the peaks. __________ intrinsic goodness would be where i could be a proponent of goodness with no external reasons nor internal motivations other than for the sake of being good (e.g. not because i fear judgement, damnation, condemnation – not because i desire praise, promotion, celebration). sometimes i wonder if this goal is just a psychodelic pipe dream.

Music: nirvana Nirvana was my favorite band - there was a certain quality to the beautiful shriek of Cobain's voice with that transcendent guitar play. someone i know said that system of a down has found their voice in this world. it cannot be doubted. the other-wordly crooning and barking of serj tankian amid the circus rifts and frenetic thumps is so relevant that it must be heard. the slothly drivel they've generated recently not withstanding, incubus provided some intelligent diversion from pop's hindenburgish meltdown. the careless chaos of the deftones is genius. motzart could be mistaken for god. i like a lot of other music: bob marley, led zeppelin, the eagles, beethoven and a lot of other shit. ..table

Television: television is a distraction. it removes from me the requirement to think for myself. when i'm watching tv, i don't need to be present in my own reality. i let the networks define me. i've watched more t.v. in my life than most people i know. i'm a sports addict as well. i think i'd like to give up t.v. soon. i realize that life is every bit as interesting and, if i need it, diversionary as anything some writer or producer can cook up.
Books: taoteching The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu is the only tome of taoism that need ever be referenced 1984 is required reading for all who believe paranoia is a human survival trait. Robert Ludlum is also good for your paranoia fix Stephen R. Donaldson is like Tolkien on acid JRR Tolkien was the great master storyteller. Issac Asimov was perhaps the greatest writer of all time, imo Kurt Vonnegut was just plain weird.
Heroes: heros . ..tr valign="middle" My Heros Are People Who Have Seriously Thought About The Answers to These Questions: 1. Do you believe in god or something you can characterize as one of the following: a collective of gods/goddesses, mother spirit, higher power, the tao, Krishna, Allah, etc.? NOTE: hereafter, please substitute your label for “god”. 2. If you answered no, skip to question . 8. 3. What is the primary source of your belief in “god”? i.e. religious faith, feeling or intuition, logical proof or empirical evidence, other? 4. Would you characterize your belief as or associate it with a religion? If so, which one or what do you call it? 5. Is it important for other people to believe what you do regarding “god”? 6. Does your belief in “god” require you to act a certain way or adhere to any parenthetic precepts? i.e. can’t eat certain types of animals, can’t have sex out of wedlock, must worship a certain way on a certain day, must dress a certain way, must believe in other beings like Jesus, Mohammad, angels, spirits, the Devil? 7. What, if anything, does your belief system prescribe for post-mortem existence and what, if anything is the associated impact of one’s material life on said post-mortem existence? i.e. afterlife, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Nirvana, reincarnation, karma, sin, the Resurrection, possession, spirit world, chaos, nothingness, etc. 8. Do you believe you have a purpose for being? If so, what is it? 9. Do you believe all things have a purpose for existing? If so, what is it? 10. If you don’t believe in “god”, to what origin do you attribute your material existence? 11. Do you have an opinion about the concept of nothingness (the complete lack of anything, god, space, matter, energy or otherwise)? Do you think nothingness is possible, plausible, or was or will be a condition of reality at any point? 12. Do you have an opinion about the concept of infinity (a continuum of everything, anything without beginning or end and where time is a meaningless human construct )? Do you think infinity is possible or plausible? Has it been or will be a condition of reality at any point? 13. Do you believe that there is one answer to everything that can be known or understood? Do you believe it is possible for human beings to know the ultimate truth? 14. Do you subscribe to chaos theory? Any other peudo-scientific theories that have the possibility of explaining everything? i.e. brane theory. 15. Do you subscribe to the notion that anything is possible and all things exist simultaneously? i.e. infinite parallel universes. 16. Do you have any other thoughts on this subject you don’t feel is covered here? ..table
