Longest Route

 

Distance Does not Correspond to Time

Traveling on paths and roads 

for years and decades

sometimes even centuries

may not get one to a target

or a discovery

counting steps and leaps 

naps and sleeps

do not predict 

the wear on shoe soles

and on the soul

Enjoying the landscape 

the fleeting glimpses of things

and creatures

and events 

is the aim 

No need to connect the pieces

Let the puzzle stay 

colorful and crowded

on a white tablecloth

to puzzle others 

other selves

scattered 

in and out of mind

THE GATHERER HOARDERS

After Hunters Gatherers

Came

Gatherer Hoarders

We gathered grass

and berries

mushrooms also

pictures of memories

were drawn

and taken

and stored

heirlooms and images

like

the berries and the mushrooms

picked, sorted

tasted

and hoarded 

for pride and posterity

MULTIPLE SINGULARITIES

A  Quantum Mythology of The New Belief 

first there was a dream

a dream of a singularity

very anthropomorphic

as the only possibility

in the steady state universe

then

a curve of  zero energy 

not possible

like a baseball pitch

shaping the orb

the orb of animation

almost mostly 

always coming back to the curvature

of a boomerang 

in common nightmares of

black unicorns

selfishly

replacing minotaurs in

a post operational brain

free of sub-sensual haematoma

hence

able to visualize Zeus and Hera

undeterred by Hephaestus

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

 

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

It is not history that repeats itself. It is political leaders and governments and the people who allow them their full use of ignorance, greed, lack of compassion and empathy and misconceptions, and then applaud when they misbehave.

History repeats itself is a very weak excuse for man’s inhumanity to man.

The big difference from the past is that, the last few centuries a small number of people in the world are aware of the causes of this inhumanity but do not have the knowhow and the power to banish it.

“Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.’

“ Herodotus”

ON WAR and STRIFE

 Why not go to war to settle our differences?

Are all wars "unjust"?

Ahmet Celebiler

, Stoic acceptance of Pyrrhonic pataphysics age 14 - 77

Answered just now

It really depends on your definition and belief in what is just and what is not.

A stoic would consider no wars to be just.

A pataphysicist will consider your question and all wars as absurd.

A believer in an Abrahamic religion would tell you that the answer will depend on scripture and views of holy men/students of related texts.

An American would say any war waged to bring democracy and enlightenment to an inferior nation or peoples, or that advances American political and economic interests is just.

A vassal state or international organization and/or their leaders will support the views of the powerful and the side that it believes will bring future advantage to them.

All the proponents and opponents may cite history and religion and populistic beliefs to support their views and actions.

Both sides will manufacture false examples, lies and unrelated and illogical arguments in justification

Scholars will scratch their heads and not necessarily to fulfil their periodic dandruff quotas.
