The sun arrives in the room after seven
but rises from the dusty horizon an hour earlier. Buildings between me and the sunrise are a
disappointment. It feels completely unnatural and to a degree sacrilegious for
anything to come between us and our first contact with the burning ball of fire. But we just accept it because it really isn’t
that significant if there’s nothing you can do about it. Nevertheless, it irks.
Song birds, the morning’s soothing sun,
the desert’s cooling is always welcome, what am I going to do today. There’s a lot of papers to read and give
feedback, there’s prepping for tonight’s class, and then it’s a one day
holiday, Friday. What a day to have off. It’s pulling up to the real two day weekend
in a whimper. But I don’t complain, the
work load is light, the removal of a commute time has increased everything else
and makes it one less headache, responsibility, imagine not worrying about
anything car related. I’ve needed
something with wheels only twice in the two months I’ve been here. I’m doing the part to reduce my carbon
footprint though it wasn’t planned that way.
It’s eight o’clock in the morning. What should I be doing other than staring at
this page? Am I expecting something
significant to say? Believe me there’s a
lot more going in the head, is this the right place to let it out, no of course
not. What is left unsaid is a step away
from dissent.
At 5:30 I was all dressed and ready to go
for a walk but it didn’t happen and I am ok with it. My left leg was terribly sore in multiple
places yesterday, walking, sitting, some part hurt. I’m afraid the only solution is to stop
sitting on the ground for meals. All the
additional aches and pinches resonate from that one muscle connecting my knee
and crotch. Well, your break is coming,
dude. I gotta start thinking about
packing.
I’m gonna be teaching children
again. Lord Have Mercy.
8:42pm
I’m watching this video again. Something he is saying is making me think too
much.
People are taking the hypothetical seriously. They’re thinking what might have been instead
of what is.
What is is reality and the clock kid story is an
example of people thinking hypothetically because they analyze and speculate until
they’ve classified themselves using abstract logic instead of accepting that it’s
only a clock. And they jumped to wild conclusions.
Does science have a root in racism here, in this cognitively darwinian race to excel?
Lureleela I know
that isn’t spelled right.
people in the last century didn’t speculate, didn’t use
abstract and they had no need to think hypothetical.
Rural Russia, crows and fish are not animals. one’s a fish the other is a bird.
Ya know I kind of like this logic here. The simplicity of such thinking.
it's a concrete problem and it's unnecessary to wonder what
the fish is or isn’t. It wasn’t
necessary to think other than what was, was, and what is, is. This is a fish. This is a bird. Science, I assume, put them together.
How can a fish be with a bird? Where would they build their home?
7:07 education.
we have more education today than a hundred years ago.
1900, In Ohio: you
had a socially concrete question: name the capitals of the 44 states at that
given time. Today the question is
abstract
Why is the largest city in a state rarely the
capital?
And the connection is out, men chill on
the grass, Fezel is cooking a chicken, I finished a half of pomegranate, and a
samosa and it wasn’t very good. All is
dark. Big blue is running. Back to the moral philosopher.
When I returned home from university, during the days
of MLK people started arguing with their parents more. What if you woke up a black person? Waking up black.
Analogies became much more complicated in a hundred
years.
Aristocracy thought the common person would never
improve their lots in life.
And there was more there but I had to get up.
Ok, maybe this doesn’t address what I thought
would answer a question. Still good the
second time.
