Scribble Pad

An unordered collection of notes about anything I found interesting. When I read a true statement I get interested in the true-ness of the statement itself, then I forget about it. So here are some true statements starting with this one:


All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense. -Principia Discordia

PEOPLE = EVENTS. People can be seen as events unfolding in time in a constant state of becoming. -synthesis gist of Mark Fisher, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre on the unfolding of human lives. The true-ness of this can be observed in considering a tornado that happens to an Oklahoma trailer park. The Tornado is an event, there is a warning, a happening, an aftermath. Compare this to old sitcoms where 'the mother in law is visiting for a week', or 'the boss is coming to dinner', the mother in law and the boss are events more so than people. Simple examples for sure but good to kick your brain out of the constructed reference points it takes as a baseline.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. -Vonnegut
