Teleology and symmetry

Soul catcher by Frank Herbert has proven to be an interesting read.
Of course, I have not read a Frank Herbert I did not thoroughly enjoy. Pity about his son.
Soul catcher seems to have inspired Robert Cormier's After the first death
Native Americans >> Ambiguously nationed terrorists though.

Counter culture is for those obsessed with calculators and maybe a few abacus enthusiasts included on the fringe.
Queensland and Melbourne university computers have unpleasant mac keyboards to persuade students to avoid using them.

Chocolate kindness
Price and perhaps quality determines how chocolate is advertised.
Cadbury, who to this date still use slave labor in harvesting their beans, use happy families and sharing chocolate between friends as the theme of their advertisements.
But then, when your milk block is practically white chocolate you can afford to be cheap and there is little wonder people are willing to share with tasteless fools and children.
And tasteless children.
Expensive chocolate is romantic, practically loving or at worst friendly and also selfish.
A phrase sticks with me; "too good to share".
Hold on, I'll do the google search.
Looks like they pissed off some indians with that slogan too. War, chocolate, whatever.
Cadbury; you can do better.
Come to think of it.
Chocolate; you can do better.
And do your best not think about Rand when you watch TV.
If you watch TV.
Try not to watch TV.

Found in a mall toilet stall:
God dammed bats:
This lizard is friendly, he bites my shoes while I drink coffee:
Bike when wet:

And you may ask yourself...
Entitlement to ones opinion starts and ends before one opens their mouth; when opinion becomes argument it ceases to be above the region of polite indifference and enters into the realm of free discussion and analysis.
I would like to share a rarefied piece of wisdom I have gleaned from a text that enjoys a lot of trust with very little justification.
Matthew 18:21-22
"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."
Seems that if you are willing to tolerate behavior, you must be willing to tolerate it indefinitely.
Tolerance is based on agreement with an underlying principle while finding the act itself distasteful or in some way repugnant. A good example would be freedom of speech. While it is common in Australia to respect freedom of speech to a point, there are certain things that a person can say that are highly upsetting or offensive. It stands as a test of fine sensitivity for the strength of a person's conviction to see them quietly listen to someone state a contrary view before rebutting.
Truth rears its ugly little head here, though we concede "de gustibus non est disputandum" (matters of taste are not disputable), truth is the strange and delightful constant that plagues the rational mind. While all opinions are valid until one opens their mouth, truth is valid before it is discussed and after it is dismissed. Truth is rarely conveyed in language; verily few human endeavors are motivated by or contain much of the essential substance. Though rare and hence valuable, truth is a constant if one looks hard enough. All things contain an element of truth if one seeks it.
And now an interlude:
Seek treasure in deep places where still water pools
In lakes and ponds whose fascia reflect the sky
Transparent open bodies are oft spurned by fools
In diaphanous waters the absent glint of gold may lie
Better to rake through uncertain muck without a care
Better to look where absent treasure is not seen
Better to hide your folly, fore I have had my share
Better anything but to see such a truth so clean

Make me a sammitch
Filtered water is delicious, though installing a filter is a bit of a bitch.
I am awed with how delicious water tastes now.
I didn't know it was so sweet, so moist, so wet.
I need a lie down, getting all sweaty just thinking about my next glass.
Sarah just asked me to make her some food then did a 'lady poot'

Finesse
Freedom of speech we all talk nice about it when someone is saying something we like to hear, but how often do we exercise it?
Do we really support an unlimited freedom of speech or expression or merely hide behind it when supporting controversy that pleases us?
Express yourself, be vocal and unpleasant.
Or maybe free speech is freedom from government interference only?
Apparently daddy Rudd doesn't like small breasted women or female ejaculation.

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.

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?
