"I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create." --William Blake I think I had trouble with language from the start. Yes, I definitely did have great trouble. What was being said as compared to what I thought, were different things. The things that I was reading and saying; was different than what others perceived them to be, compared to what I perceived them to be. Teachers, misunderstanding what my answers were. Cognition seemed at odds with the status quo...

White Bread…it’s like, Kleenex for your Stomach…
The Bible? It is an old book and is a collection of narratives from still older books. It is controversial, and concise within a framework of time. It has many versions in the modern day translations of it, from the multiples of languages that have described its ideas and concepts. And every single one of them is wrong...
CENSORSHIP and the Burning down of ‘Oldspeak’
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..."...
WHAT NEXT…

Red cushion for a place to sit, amidst rancor. Nihilism for a heart, and reluctance. And crazed mystics still keep pushing shopping carts up hills of abuse...
Phillip K. Dick, and Reality.
"Imagine being sentient but not alive. Seeing and even knowing, but not alive. Just looking out. Recognizing but not being alive. A person can die and still go on. Sometimes what looks out at you from a person's eyes maybe died back in childhood." "The Man in the High Castle" is an interesting book, and if one is a science fiction lover, then this book will keep you on edge for while, stimulate a wondering about "What if?"...
Propaganda and the “Great Narrative” or, “How the future doesn’t need us”
Do you have the time. Are you patient enough to read and take this all in; are you focused enough? Your attention span how far will it go here without ditching what is being said to you for another idea that is crowding your consciousness for your immediate attention. Some ephemeral bullshit of what's important today. The Dutch farmers, or Ukraine and the Nazis. Biden asking what shoes he is supposed to wear today...
