What is Sense?
To begin a talk on nonsense I must first ask a question, as is often true. What is sense? An agreement about consistent meanings or what might make meanings seem consistent. Agreements are often very difficult to reach. Indeed, they are. I recently read that in Europe, “common sense” is referred to as “farmer’s sense.” Sense…

Cosmic Nonsense
Perhaps we could consider evolution. All forms of evolutionary pressure arise from the interaction not of objects, not of edges, but of relationships. If edges were a necessary and vital rule, human beings couldn’t exist. Our mitochondria remain their own organisms, but they completely ignored our edges and our life functions depend on them. So…

Nu Complex
Shall we get really weird? They have recently identified a possible third state of consciousness besides consciousness or unconsciousness, and they have also identified a brain signal that happens when the brain would otherwise appear to be “flat-lined.” Brain dead.

For every person you question, there is an opportunity to recognize your own sense and how your habitual thinking blinds you from that. Shall I go deep? Your afterlife… You are living it right…

Relationship with You
Do you know how to have a relationship with you? Do you think yourself likes you very much? Or even that yourself knows you very well? I contain multitudes…. and they are of mixed opinions about loving “us.” My self is angry at not being taken care of. Actually, she’s angry at having her posts…
Category: Nonsense
We call our natural sense nonsense, and call absurd nonsense real life. I offer that you learn more from anything you struggle to say than anything you say clearly and easily. Do you know who the biggest and best bullshit artists are? The worlds wealthy most innovative people, and most influential leaders. This is what we fear to be when you fear your own nonsense.
Do you know how to have a relationship with you? Do you think yourself likes you very much? Or even that yourself knows you very well?
