Science

[Clinamenic]

It seems once one becomes more or less convinced that meaning is dynamic and relative, one then has an easier time assuming responsibility for the sustenance of this meaning.

I tend to rely on the metaphor of crop rotations. Some days my interests lay more in favor of calculus, other days in statecraft, and if I can manage to conform focus to interest, and vice versa as a negotiation, the learning experience will prove to be more robust than if I focused on a topic that was remote from where the interest is located.

So one half is conforming topic to interest, which I go about by way of dynamic scheduling, and the other half is conforming interest to topic, which involved forcing myself to become interested in it in order to absorb as much of it as I can.

its certainly true that we are different people with a different set of interests and inclinations from day to day and it makes sense to go with the changes

and that some of our cast members make quite rare appearances, maybe 2 or 3 times a year, cameos

But what about conjuring them? Or in other words, navigating across your mindspace to get there?

 

[Clinamenic]

I do think, in a wildly hypothetical way that may shed some light on something neuroscientifically empirical, that we can will ourselves through states of mind in the manner of a sublime and slippery algorithm.

but then you are forcing other characters off the stage. why? by what right?

 

[Clinamenic]

In my case, as a means to better position myself to absorb more of the content and integrate into a systematic intuition.

 

[luka]

arbitarily chosen and probably stupid 'content'

 

[luka]

but this boils down to whether you trust 'nature'/the process or your own provenly stupid will

But to turn again to the crop rotation metaphor, it would be something of a juggling act. Paying attention to this figure while they are glowing, and as they start to fade, turning to that figure over there as they start to brighten.

yes this is the Exquisite Science. but its the hardest thing in the world. its the meaning of Lif.

 

[Clinamenic]

But again its not just a matter of conforming your attention/focus to wherever your interest meanders, but also imparting some degree of will over the development of your interest. So as to prevent any one figure from atrophy, from falling out of the loop, from not being sufficiently integrated into the crop rotation, etc.

 

[Clinamenic]

They forget their lines if they aren't in some routine of exercise.

So then at the very least, you appreciate the spectacularity of my stupidity, no?

 

[luka]

thats why in the pink temple the first thing they tell you is that the in breath is will the out breath is surrender. they sit you down and explain all this

 

[Clinamenic]

In the sense that hubris would constitute an ultimate denial of the out breath?

 

[Clinamenic]

Could be mangling what you meant, but what I'm trying to say holds water in its own right. That acceptance of finitude needs to be woven into the ebb and flow, if such an effort is to be sustained. A battle forfeited here and there as a finesse for the war.

 

[luka]

i dont know stan im still trying to work it out

 

[Clinamenic]

But it seems obvious to me that you already see it.

 

[luka]

i can see it but it doesnt mean i can live it immaculately and without error! its really hard!
