Mi-i dor să bat covoare.

Arta ştiinţei

Există şi o altă privinţă in care mi se pare că fizica teoretică este un model rău pentru artă. Teoriile noastre sunt foarte ezoterice -iar aceasta în mod necesar, fiindcă suntem obligaţi să ne elaboram teoriile folosind limbajul matematic, care nu face parte din cultura generală a publicului educat. De regulă, fizicienii regretă că teoriile lor sunt atât de ezoterice. Pe de altă parte, mi s-a întâmplat să aud artişti spunând cu mândrie că opera lor e accesibilă doar unui mic cerc de cunoscători, şi justificându-şi atitudinea prin citarea teoriilor fizice precum relativitatea generală, care la rândul lor pot fi înţelese numai de iniţiaţi. Artiştii, ca şi fizicienii, nu se pot face întotdeauna înţeleşi de publicul larg, dar ezoterismul de dragul ezoterismului e pur şi simplu o prostie.

De ce oamenii cel mai predispuşi la a scrie "Nu`s" sunt aceiaşi care tind să scrie peste tot "its" sau "youre"?

Opera vieţii mele va fi un graf mare legând împreună diferite grupuri de oameni...

Huo.

Mi-e dor de Cireşari.

De ce pagina ciresarii.ro are ca taburi "Home" şi chiar lîngă - "Predici"?

"Înfiinţată în 2003, Fundaţia Cireşarii are ca scop principal atingerea generaţiei tinere cu Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu."

Mi-e frică să mai recitesc volumele, poate dau accidental peste Predica de pe munte a lui Ursu în volumul I, sau merge Victor pe apă - din păcate asta ar îngreuna deznodămîntul volumului V. 

God damn it.... 

opiate

Probably the most popular misquotation of modern times—certainly the most popular in this argument—is the assertion that Marx dismissed religion as "the opium of the people." On the contrary, this son of a rabbinical line took belief very seriously and wrote, in his Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, as follows:
 

Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.

random thought

i like to think you don't choose religion.

in a way, it chooses you.

you don't get to believe what you want, you find out what you actually believe. hence i happen to believe you shouldn't be influenced in that search by noone.

---edit:

of course, there is one fallacy in my reasoning, and i think it's clear: the phrasing starts from the supposition that "well, there actually is nothing out there" and it goes through "if you're honest with yourself you'll probably feel that on your own"  straight to "but if you want to believe in something just think hard about it and don't step on anyone else's individual thought-freedom". It's the only way this society can work... still, in fairness i thought of highlighting said fallacy.

I can see you (-you can see me)

What are you to do upon realizing that what you desire, your views on the world may be idealistical and darn right utopic?

Should you maybe tone them down a little, compromise to see what comes out of them combined to the real world... or perhaps stay true to them?

Life is a dynamic complex thing, and "compromises" are usually a decent way to go, they help finding common ground amongst ourselves as humans and in relationships... but what if that's not at all applicable with your society ideals? Should you continuously aspire to [your] "perfection"? Turn into a realist?

The "realities" of now are the people_from_not_long_ago's unimaginable dreams, and were they not to have them maybe we wouldn't be here. I'd rather stay true to [my dear] "utopia". There must be someone to dream and desire more.
