In homage to causality, the future is, right now, slipping inexorably into the past.
Although absolute determinism is impossible, lately, I am left with a feeling of predestination.
Have you ever thought that your life is determined by factors outside of your control? A natural consequence of such a situation is the following: if another individual was exposed to the same environmental pressures that you have been, if someone else was put through every event of your life, then that individual would be indistinguishable from you. Is each person more than the sum of their experiences?
One time, I was walking alone in the forest, and a tree fell right in front of me, and i didn't hear it.
The bird was dead --> it slept, perchance to dream --> a dream, indistinguishable from reality, is an infinite space confined in a nutshell --> a walnut shell --> walnuts are grown from deciduous trees --> There does not exist an everywhere nonzero tangent vector field on the 2-sphere --> this implies that somewhere on the surface of the earth there is a point with zero horizontal wind velocity.
I saw a slavador dali print of two dental hygientists flagellating a platypus on a firey cross.
It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
