God is a permanent interruption.
So is my wiener.
Thinkers start from what they do not know and from uncertainty attempt to gain some sure knowledge of that which doesn't change. Skepticism is the main engine of knowledge, making certain one does not build on a rotten or false foundation. Doubt alone may be able to discover truth depending on how skeptical one becomes, but it should at least annihilate untruth. This method will start inside a person, perhaps deep inside, who sets aside outside influences and gets to work on what seems real.
Socrates SO-CRATES called this 'an (the) examined life. Decartes called it 'meditation'
If we begin outside, where certainty can only be received, we come to understand that my wiener is god like in both it's powers to create and inspire awe. I don't know where I'm going with this.
I'm sitting here at the library with my kid for a double whammy pf ghey. Library Santa is here terrorizing children with his slimness and passing out candy canes. All the women here are overweight and have given their offspring shameful names like Corbin and Connor and Parker. I'm going to be here all day reading pokemon adventures and fairy rescue (unabridged). Then at 3 I get to go talk about September 11 to a bunch of punk kids.
