Toast and its burning
What happens when an anti caking agent is used in the preparation of a cake?

Ethics are all well and good, but bake me a cake first
Know until you are compelled to act, but always know first. That's how I roll.
Objective and subjective are ideals; never attained.
Leaning to the objective puts you in line with the common universe and its limitations.
Leaning to the subjective allows you access to your own universe. If that is all you want, I encourage you to visit as often as you like.
If you visit the common universe however, unaware of its limitations you may find yourself unable to communicate with other people. The funny sounds coming out of your mouth and the symbols you may scratch on a page will mean little to those around you.
I use my subjective to form possible universes that please me.
I use my objective to test those forms and create those that fit in the common universe.
Sarah thinks issues of ethics are surprisingly simple: “you make a decision and that's just ew, gross.”
Understanding does not elude us, we experience its grasp on our consciousness every day.
Objectivity is found by embracing its grasp, and holding it as it holds us.
Genetics cause predispositions, conditioning governs behaviour.
An intoxicated person uses the same brain as a sober person. The same axons fire, the same decision trees exist.
An intoxicated person clouds their senses but not their perceptions.
Our senses are the things we block out; we ignore more than we ever perceive.
Take a decision, any choice that can be made.
Choose one close to you, one you wish you could relive and rechoose.
Now, relive it in your own universe. Knowing and feeling only what you did then, can you make a different choice? Do you find you need to change choices you made before that to change the outcome?
Do those choices have dependant choices?
Time travel is possible. In all directions.
But which path do you choose?
And why?
Peace is no alternative to war, only a failure to disagree.
Someone killed Gandhi. Gandhi didn't kill anyone.
What breeds a peaceful human, knowledge and power, strength and identity?
Ambition?
Perhaps.
Ignorance and happiness, selfishness, focusing on ones full belly instead of another's hill of beans.
Rationality and logic are violent to lies. Belief removes objectivity.
What good does instant communication do, when you are not sure what to say?
Or how to listen?
Give everyone an instant kill button, arm the world and we can hasten the end of this ill thought out experiment.
You are even more beautiful l than in my dreams. Mainly because in my dreams you have three heads that are all screaming.
What I'm trying to say is, I love you.
You're not doing a good job of it.

It is a chocolate cake by the way.

Iocane Powder
Old fashioned glass
30mL Amaretto
90mL Vodka
Top with milk
What you do not smell is called Iocane powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.

Moth socioeconomics
How ignorant is a moth,
That batters itself,
Against a bulb,
In an orgy of pain,
With hundreds of other moths?

I wondered if a secularian bombing of a fertility clinic would seem as hypocritical as a christian bombing an abortion clinic.

Right not to know
How do you feel about the alleged 'right not to know' and head in the sand approaches to upsetting things that are unlikely to ever have any noticeable influence in your life.
Example:
Meddling social conscience: Your shoes were made by a child slave.
Indifferent consumer: Yes, their small hands ensure precision and quality.
Is ignorance a protected right?
Medically we have cancer risk, congenital defects, and other genetic information that people have the right to refuse, even when it may influence their children.
In that case it is, but is it a normative claim or may it be waived in extreme circumstances?
Can someone be forced to learn?

This could sound nice as a metal round
Shattered vision
Mirror full of lies
Within eggshell fragments
I witness my demise
Crystal heart
Pumping grains of sand
Slowly flowing hourglass
Transmute water into land
Furious pain
Stop to count the hurt
Fading into blackness
Feeding on the dirt
Your suffering
Belongs to me
Choking down your screams
Helps you think you're free
Null pointer
Zero sum
If you have the answers
Why do you feel numb?

What I don't like about your product is...
In ancient Albion all baby ducks blessed by the great Thunderbird Quetzalcoatl lived long and fortunate lives before being devoured by the hungry humans.

The moon is a genius
Brief and consistent
Guiding herald of change
Rarely basking naked
The sun a beacon
Light of all humans
Overwhelming sense
Demanding observation
Life is change
People are light

Business at UQ
Sarah is having a confusing time doing third year business at the University of Queensland.
She tells me: "I didn't know who was doing coke and who the five asians in the back of the room were".

Observation: I am being watched;
The cameras are pointed at me.
Obscuration: To hide the fear inside;
That there is nothing here to see.

To the cones
Two scoops of vanilla
Is a sad place to be
Ice cream without meaning
Means the world to me
They aren't serving flavor
Just like an ice cream koan;
Today everybody wants it
That is where it all has gone
I know just how to treat you
Iced and covered in hot goo
Just call me bloody Sundae
Cause I've got sauce for you
Two scoops of vanilla
Is a sad place to be
Ice cream without meaning
Means the world to me
With love you can't buy breakfast
But love; it sure is sweet
The sugar factory closed
Peters workers on the Streets
The teenage nihilist rampage
Makes consumerism key
Ice cream is avant garde
But it means the world to me

Psychoanalysis
Your mind is on a voyage.
If you don't know what your destination is, going back to ask for directions won't help.

Flour, eggs and bacon
Loves favor is multivalent,
Not dichotomy,
Nor a Faustian deal;
It lets your soul go free

I have about five of these a day
With understanding comes acceptance,
Hence the ignorant rule and the violence used to subdue them is education.
The problem with being unique is you don't look like anyone.
Does a prisoner study the bars of her cage in hopes of making them harder to escape?
My, my.
If it contradicts belief
It is special
When I walked upon the sand
Two seagulls flew from my hand.
When I stepped upon the grass
I slaughtered all that I did pass.
As I strode across the dirt
I planned the ways I'd make them hurt.
Now I rest inside a stone
Until this world becomes my own.
We only remember what is important
What we remember is important
The horse rose from the ocean and stood, dripping, on the land.
I slide a knife into its golden flank and watched it fall and disolve into a pool of white and yellow maggots.
The maggot pod rose and stood as a wall against me.
I stepped into and through the wall, allowing myself to be enveloped but not engulfed.
This is how the first soul was taken.
If I own a country I fear other countries.
If I own a world I fear other worlds
I own nothing
Promoting world dynamics; Because we are not all equal.
Y'know, from the time of the first tool using dinosaur that picked up a stick and used it to swat down flying pterodactyl to the first case of human autocannibalism, people who ride the bus have been creepy. Public transport and the people who use it have sucked since the dawn of time and will continue to suck long into the future.
"I can't remember your name, what rhymes with it?" - Isaac to someone whose name he forgot since this discussion.
Sequential art is a bit of a non issue; who in the world has ever managed to produce two pieces of art in a row?
The most frightening thing in the world is not being the person you want to be.
A sentence ending in a preposition is something up with which I will put.

Popular Eternity
How does one divide eternity among the people here?
The popular disposition is to take whatever's near.
And war erupts when two are close and both of them are daring.
It may be time we understood the ethos that is sharing.
My eyes are filled with a glare that prevents me from seeing
The simple elegance found in the art of being.
The baubles you may collect full of memories and gloss.
Do nothing to compensate for the anguish of their loss.
All the comforts you may want while on your path you're going.
Are dust to smooth to understand the why and how of knowing.
Power is discordant; made of misery.
Dying is the sadness that you will soon be free.
In my imagination food is best when work is through.
But in my imagination there is always work to do.
Our bellies full, our minds a road, our arms ready to embrace.
Finally we may unite to explore the heights of space.
