The sexiest fruit is the Western Cuban papaya, for sure - but, damn, I just love the way apples sweat.

What IS "Time," REALLY?

Now that my generation has had the chance to be enticed-slash-overwhelmingly-confused by (a few of) the (more obvious, greatly simplified, often "creatively" portrayed) physics concepts touched upon in "Interstellar," I'm beginning to encounter—IN REAL LIFE—the occasional curious novice mind suddenly open to exhaling that first lung full of stagnant amniotic ignorance, soon to (hopefully) swim naked through and beyond the vitreous ether of irrelevance - perhaps eventually breaking vigorously through its intellectual placenta and into scientific enlightenment! Cry for me, mind-babies!

This is all occurring at a mere trickle, admittedly, and—as per usual—reality hardly does my verbosity a smidgen of justice, but still - it's SOMETHING. I'll take it. Maybe I'll even entertain, for awhile, the ridiculous notion that my knowledge might be useful to humankind before my great-grandchildren's parrots' children are deceased. With that said, let us talk a bit about time. By "us," of course, I mean "me" (to myself), and by "time" I of course don't mean what you're probably thinking, but indulge me if you will - and, especially, indulge me if you won't.

TIME. It's our comprehension of the dynamic interactivity between entropic systems. Definitively, it's a continuously-variable coefficient containing the instantaneous configuration of all of the energy in the universe - but experientially, it's a process by which patterns self-infer at observable frequencies and magnitudes within chaotic systems. Our iterative cognitive cycles would not be possible if not for our brains' inherent ability to interact with time; it is the pragmatic skeleton of those parts of the universe that are most immediate to our existence and upon which our cognitive musculature is formed.



Time is ENTROPY. It's a linear wave of change that drives the lowest common frequency of our brain's perceptive functions. Atomic decay is the universe's clock, and our brains interact with those clock cycles on an arbitrary scale. Regardless of how fast or how slow they are actually occurring, we simplify our comprehension into a matter of space-between-cycles - and the smallest such space our brains are able to measure is the foundation of our concept of "time."

There are a lot of interesting theories on the relationship between time and consciousness. For instance: in a part of the universe with 10x higher temporal density than here on Earth, would our conscious minds fit our pre-existing notion of time to the new scale, effectively becoming 10x less efficient but preserving our subjective experience of our lives passing at a constant rate... or would they adapt to the new time scale, becoming 10x more efficient - or, would either option perhaps have the same result to our cognitive processes? We don't know. We may never know, either, because the gravitational forces necessary to significantly increase temporal density beyond that of Earth's would probably either kill us or else expose us to environmental conditions that would definitely kill us.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO COOL!

Sometimes Synaesthesia Sings Simple Songs

Spent most of the day just writing, writing, writing, vomiting my mind out – and just now I realized it was all merely thought-sounds I could not quite put to form. 

Still can't, either, but this is close-ish.

I See Eggs

– Girls? Psh! I FIX.

 
 Studio B'me - "I See Eggs"

I see eggs....

I see eggs / Here there and everywhere / Hard shells soft gels / Love the way they smell yeah

I'm on cloud nine / They look so fine / Can't wait for scramble time

I kinda like the way that thing glints / Gotta take a glimpse / Body shaped like an ellipse / Pulling up to my stovetop so hot / You cook so hard like the way you boil off

I tap first, your shell cracks / Attracted to the way that you break that / Yo, I know you can't fake that / So bring it over here, so near I can touch that

One bite just isn't enough / I wanna have you fryin' it up / So drop ya protein down the side of my pan / You came from land, but my stomach has plans / So tasty yolk, c'mon out oh...

RE: Brussels Bombings of 3/22/2016

The ability to fully comprehend *causality* is perhaps the most essential social quality of intelligent people. In either case, its absence is absolutely the most passively-damaging social phenomenon.

Take the Brussels bombings, for instance: to the layperson, it may simply appear to be the irrational but predictable behavior of deranged religious extremists. Of course, that's merely the cap of a causal pyramid built upon the foundation of our voting booths here in the U.S. - but it's far easier to invest one's energy into comparisons of the eligible certain causes of the next preventable tragedies than to pursue an actual solution. We're already underpaid for our toils, amirite? We're jaded and abused and marginalized, and that entitles us to unlimited social irresponsibility and apathy - boo yah!

That's why it is SO IMPORTANT that every one of you vote - because if enough of you don't, it could mean you've figured out that you could instead do something genuinely productive... and, ya know, change is hard, and stuff. Watching people die in explosions on the news because of our laziness is just much more comfortable. Possibility is scary - f*ck that!

No matter who you vote for, at least you'll be able to count on it being a devil you know.

Running With a Ruminant, Episode 1

Humanity may be overwhelmingly ignorant of its impending fate, but its creative abstractions are somehow omniscient.

What causes the disparity between creation and reflective comprehension? Psychology, psychology... I KNOW. But if catharsis is the terminal stage of the psychological cycle in which we are all entangled, where do we exit to the beginning of the absent intellectual process that can end it?

We're already fighting the War of the Machines - but we're the machines...

Putting Some "un" in Your "Fun"

The warm, agreeable biases are far easier to miss than those more blatant and obnoxious - but their cognitive inertia is no less confounding to otherwise-navigators along the path to otherwise-wisdom.

Intelligent folk must not fail to differentiate constructiveness from mere positivity, nor achievement from mere catharsis.

Ladder Day

Today is International Ladder Day!

It's sort of an invisible holiday, so I'm spreading the word. If you happen to be that person in your community who is always going out of your way to help your friends & family—or even coworkers, neighbors, or strangers—grow, thrive and find happiness that would otherwise only ever taunt them as they failed over and over and over, then this day is for you! It's called "Ladder Day" because that's what we are: we see a need, we lean ourselves against it, and then we turn our time and energy into rungs for our loved ones to climb to better places in life that they otherwise wouldn't even know about, probably don't deserve, and usually can't handle.

Unfortunately, very few people celebrate or even know about Ladder Day - usually because they're too busy wasting their happiness, potential and good fortune on stupid shit. Few people remember how they got so fortunate in the first place. Maybe it was an accident? Maybe they always had it in them all along, and they just woke up one day and realized it, and then everything became awesome. Maybe it was the communion wafers; nobody really knows where they come from. It's easy to become confused and forgetful in a deluge of newfound positivity!

Anyway, happy Ladder Day - because no selfless love goes unignored!

And, tomorrow... Latter Ladder Day!
