Fhilosophy Friday

“When things are going well, something will go wrong. When things just can't get any worse, they will. Anytime things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.”

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing - that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and of many things I don't know anything about, but I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as I can tell possibly. It doesn't frighten me.

And on a personal note BHMF cares about all you jackals and wants to make sure everyone is properly nutriousified, so don't forget to drink a big glass of orange juice, each and every glorious Jackal morning.

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” ― Mark Twain

Friday Hottie: Abby Martin

In honor of bhmf's little blessing, I decided to bring back the Friday Hottie. This is one spicy tamale, but she ain't afraid to tackle the big issues either. She's got a big, sexy brain, which is precisely what this Fabio-looking douchebag is thinking while he tells her about not showering at an "occupy" movement.

Jackal Update?: Little bhmf

Yo, bhmf. Thanks for the Alan Watts brain food. What's got you on your philosophical tip? Did you have that little jackal or what?

Alan Watts drops knowledge ninja style: “For there is a growing apprehension that existence is a rat-race in a trap: living organisms, including people,are merely tubes which put things in at one end and let them out at the other, which both keeps them doing it and in the long run wears them out. So to keep the farce going, the tubes find ways of making new tubes, which also put things in at one end and let them out at the other. At the input end they even develop ganglia of nerves called brains, with eyes and ears, so that they can more easily scrounge around for things to swallow. As and when they get enough to eat, they use up their surplus energy by wiggling in complicated patterns, making all sorts of noises by blowing air in and out of the input hole, and gathering together in groups to fight with other groups. In time, the tubes grow such an abundance of attached appliances that they are hardly recognizable as mere tubes, and they manage to do this in a staggering variety of forms. There is a vague rule not to eat tubes of your own form, but in general there is serious competition as to who is going to be the top type of tube. All this seems marvelously futile, and yet, when you begin to think about it, it begins to be more marvelous than futile. Indeed, it seems extremely odd.”

“You have seen that the universe is at root a magical illusion and a fabulous game, and that there is no separate "you" to get something out of it, as if life were a bank to be robbed. The only real "you" is the one that comes and goes, manifests and withdraws itself eternally in and as every conscious being. For "you" is the universe looking at itself from billions of points of view, points that come and go so that the vision is forever new.”

KFTC: Presidential Debates

I can't wait to see who brings the 'X-Factor' in tonight's contest. One man will be the 'American Idol' when this is all said and done. It sure has been an 'Amazing Race' up to this point. One issue of contest will be terror on the homeland and the 'Fear Factor' of Americans in the 21st Century. I'm quite certain if the 'Price is Right', one of these men will make a strong bid to spend the next four years in the 'West Wing'. Oh, if only we had a read on these two jokers before this epitome of democratic discourse!
