Good morning. Buenos dias. Up at
4:30a. My cell phone has an alarm of jungle birds. I also sometimes
set my kitchen timer and my digital alarm clock (1,2,3!). I slept to
past 11a yesterday. Well I'm up today. We “fell back” yesterday.
It's Monday, November 6, 2017. I'm listening to wprb on my
headphones, from the computer. Don't know what I'd do without this
thing. I don't get tv. Actually, I'd probably just read. I've been
hit with what “I am Ninja” on youtube calls a “curiosity-spell.”
I really do have curiosity about everything. So I'll never be
bored. I even like sitting, breathing, doing nothing, unless you
want to call it meditation. So it's all good.
Except dying. That's gonna suck. I
want to live. I want to read the entire internet, the entire
library: listen to all the music, watch all the tv/movies/youtube
videos... you get the picture. That's why curiosity-spells are
devastating. Who invented cheese? How do you say 'pink' in Nahuatl?
Does time exist? And so on. As The Cowboy Junkies sang, “will
you ever finally reach a point of knowing?” No. I'll never be
omniscient. Even if I read all of Britannica, I still won't even be
close. To know, biblically, is to have sex with. So to know
everything would put the bi in bible. And I don't even have sex with
myself. I don't know myself. Maybe I do already know everything!
(in some sense).
I have google, and wikipedia, and they
know (almost) everything! So I have a kind of access to omniscience,
which is probably better than the real thing, I imagine. But I
could be wrong. Being God might be awesome. Only God is good, the
bible says. So not being God is bad. I better build a way to live
forever, so I can keep reading! I've got a ways to go, you could
say. My imagination and perception aren't very high-powered... Life
is but a dream. Row, roe, rho your boat.
questions
Can a supercomputer model my thought
and behavior? if it has my gene sequence/dna? Could I survive as a
ghost in the machine? Is the world a giant computer? The universe?
Did Jesus know everything? I don't think so!! Am I already in the
matrix? Is immortality possible? Desirable? Is existence always
better than non-existence? Can suffering be eliminated? What is
love. Does anybody know anybody, anyway? Why did the chicken cross
the road?
CIPA is no pain. But it would only be
desirable if you were indestructible. Maybe God is a diamond. Or
lonsdaleite... Ha! I am a rock. I am an island. But I wouldn't
know it, because brains are mushy! Blockhead! CIPA or H?
(congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, or heroin)? 3rd
rock from the sun, aka earth. Teshara= as earth :-). Bones!
(Leonard McCoy). Teshara= A Star eh?, too. Brains are the
instrument with which we feel pain, but -strangely enough- doesn't
feel pain, itself.
Suffering is different from pain. Suff
plus T. The cross was painful. STUFF. Stuff e ring? Would that
be a diamond? Lord of the rings. King of pain. KOP was written by
Sting post-separation from his wife. Diamond Life, Sade. Suffer I
Ng makes me think of serial-kiler Charles Ng, actually (currently on
death row at San Quentin). Pa In= pain. God= get out, dad. Did the
LOTR use lotrimin? Amen to that. Keepin it real. Stuff, putting
the tear in material. Something to chew on. Putting the chew in
spiritual! Spear it with your fork. Fork you! Good mourning.
