Spring cleaning, again
More thoughts that I am having trouble making a full blamble out of:
1) the high value of Good is entirely dependent on the existense of bad/evil. Without evil, there could be no good. So, doesn't that mean that some part of evil is inherently good?
2) Intelligence and knowledge really are separate. It doesn't matter how much you know, you can still be a complete idiot. Though, some of the most intelligent people in the world, really don't know much about most things. ("An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less")
3) No action is selfless. Discuss.
4) There are so many religions with often contradicting rules to get into Heaven(or whatever that religion calls the Utopian location in the afterlife). If you choose one and stick to all it's rules, does that guarantee you a spot? What if you live your life by the strictest rules of a religion, say Catholicism, but follow a different religion, like Buddhism? Do you got to the Catholic heaven?
5)When I was in high school, I spent a lot of lunches playing SimCity and SimEarth. Whenever lunch was about to end, I would go on a rampage unleashing all sorts of disasters and destroying random civilizations/structures. I always used to wonder if maybe I was really controlling some alternate universe. So, if armageddon ever comes, we'll know lunch is almost over.
6) In my next life, I want to stay in bed.
7) Cats, and I may have said this before, are better than cable. A little more expensive, but so much more fun. Of course, they can be a bit of a pain, but I love them anyway.
8) If we ever figure the universe out, it will start all over again more confusing. Does that mean the universe made sense way back when and someone keeps figuring it out?
9) How come when Windows releases a patch, there's all these people proclaiming that it's a messed up OS and that they should never have released it, but Mac releases a patch - only weeks after releaseing the software (Tiger 10.4.1) - and it's a considerate "update" by the do no wrong Apple?
9B) How come no one has complained about the way Apple is monopolizng Itunes? When IE had to be on computers, it was evil. But saying you can only dowload to a particular piece of portable hardware is protecting your interests. Hypocricy! (Not that windows isn't at least a little evil)
10) They've upped the ante and the next generation of video games should be photo-realistic. for the most part, they'll still suck, but it will suck like a movie now.
11) "If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane." Discuss.
12) What is the American dream? No, really. There are so many American dreams (writing the great-American novel-which has already been done-, being your own boss - seem slike alot of work to me-, finding your soulmate- no experience there-, etc., etc.). Which one is the real one?
12b) I think it is true that you can do anything you want in America. Look at the current Presidential administration. Proof that anyone can get anywhere in this country, regardless of merit or qualificaiton (or whether they actually won the election).
13) I've decided to not strive for profoundness in my writing. That way, if I actually say something profound, you'll be caught unawares.
