Aphorisms

I liked study hall, could tolerate gym class and lunch( more in theory, than that horrible, less than prison grade food).

The best part of study hall was the fact that there was a really smart, cool black chick who would let me copy her home work.( chemistry 2 and all those tedious calculations and other subjects we had in common).

I have to say, that I was always an under achiever, yeah I had decent grades and got into a decent( state run) University.

I bet the reason for those STEM schools in Germany was because of all the smart jews, commies, and others that fled Germany, or were killed. Also America, gave jobs and new identies( I am not joking or making light of WW2) to surviving German scientists, engineers and other nerd types.

The Soviets did the same, except the nerds they caught given 2 options. Come work for us, or be shot.

It is hilarious that our entire space program is based primarily on the work of former German Scientist, Wernher von Braun. Also their is a picture of a German Scientist who worked on the V2, rocket program sitting between President JFK and vice President LBJ. He was in the early 60's the Director of Nasa( or if it had a predecessor).

Nerds🤣
 
Here is one for you, @Lil'LinaptkSix

Better in the eyes of an activist to get punished for helping a friend, then rewarded for watching a friend suffer.
G-man, I am going to have to slightly disagree. Many of those activist types would love to see a friend beaten the shit out of by the police. As long as they have the smart phone handy.

They live to catch stuff like that on video. So they can create a shit storm, get on TV and earn their self-appointed reputation as a social justice warrior.
 
Good Morning . . . @gordonliddy

Nice to hear from you about your book.

G-man ✈️

Sounds like it will be quite the buzz !! !

Alolphorisms

It's the simple things that are the greatest.

Less is more or more is less. More or less.

Sure thing Dirty McBastard (a lighthearted one)

What is wrong:
On the left side of the brain there is nothing right, and on the right side of the brain there is nothing left !

Appreciate others. Self-sufficiency is great, but we're all interdependent to some degree. Even the most isolated hermit probably goes into town for supplies or tools every once in a while.
 
Do Unto others Before they Do Unto you and then say it's all your fault. lol.

Kiely,

You win this thread. It gives me no pleasure to lose ANYTHING to a female. Yet here we are. Gallantly, done Old Girl. This is your thread now and I place you in charge of it. I'm having one of those John the Baptist moments.

Beware any newcomer to your village who seems to want to change everything. Men are bad at improving things that they don't like, and men who like a thing won't want to continually change it.
 
You Are What You Eat, if the aphorism holds true—if we really are what we eat—then refrigerators are like windows into our souls

We purchase refrigerators the way we fill them: out of necessity—to preserve the milk; to keep the greens from wilting. But from the right vantage point, an open fridge is the perfect staging grounds for a discussion of consumption. And if the aphorism holds true—if we really are what we eat—then refrigerators are like windows into our souls. It’s that sentiment that’s at the heart of Mark Menjivar’s inventive exploration of hunger, “You Are What You Eat,” for which he photographed the contents of strangers’ refrigerators. As you can see, whether it holds neatly ordered rows of labels-out condiments or zip-locked stacks of shot-and-gutted buck meat, there’s almost certainly a narrative to a fridge’s arrangement.
 
Hence.

You are what you eat , but only in stages. The body will chemically breakdown all that enters into the stomach. The stomach is a giant forensics lab.
What can be used for food is changed to food/the body will extract all usable and compatible elements of what is ingested and then you will sh!t out the non useful stuff.

Compatible is the Key Word
 
the infinity of nothingness

V other than the law , there is but infinity, which is Nothingness. but in that infinity of Nothingness, there is unmanifest, the latency, possibility, futurity, potentiality, and promise of manifest everythingness.

it is the chaos from which, under the law, emerges the cosmos. it is the womb of the cosmos.


the manifestation

VI During the aeons of the cosmic night, the law dwelth alone, in solitude : the cosmos remain resolvent into its condition of the unmanifest-the infinity of nothingness.

then comes the dawn, when the law superimpose the infinity of nothingness, and cause the unmanifest to become manifest ; the nothing to become everything ; latency to become activity ; potentiality to become reality ; promise to become fulfilment.



the cosmic Will

VII From the bosom of the unmanifest, arises that which men call the world-spirit ; the one life ; the universal being ; the life principle ; the logos ; the demiurge ; but which in truth is but the cosmic will from which arise all life, and action, and shape and form, and change, and appearance, and variety, and manifestation.

The cosmic will is the one which becomes many - the unity in which is diversity - the first-born from the womb of infinity- the cosmic egg from which hatches the universe.




this too, is under the law...
