I have never taken an IQ test,
and I think I never will.
To me intelligence is the capacity
to see things from many points of view
and we all have our unique points of view,
so we are all unique intelligences
To compare intellects on a number line is
as vastly inadequate
as climbing a tree to reach the stars.
Simultaneously the right direction and a dead-end

Brecht on life
In Praise of the Fighters Those who are weak don't fight. Those who are stronger might fight for an hour. Those who are stronger still might fight for many years. The strongest fight their whole life. They are the indispensable ones.-- from the version of The Mother that Brecht did with composer Hans Eisler in 1931.
Mental note: Find the original German version.

The determined coward ...
What might the determined coward look like?
I suppose it has something to do with perseverance in cold dark places and severe conditions, when sheep are enjoying greener pastures elsewhere.

Carpe Diem
It was a burden almost too much to bear
But what is a holier experience
a more infinite blessing
than that of being alive
of being in the realm of the living
capable of action and influence
capable of walking a line
when it would seem all is pushing you from it
but you know it must be done
its a marathon to go the distance
finally crossing ...
no need to ask what is next
just to collapse in happiness
and thank those who walked with you
and gave a hand and urged you on
when all hope was lost
finally crossing the line
it was a burden too great to bear
were it not shared with friends.

Poetry of an interlude
Where's the poetry in that?
... It won't be found.
Nay, here it be:
... A decry,
on grounds of a
complete and utter lack;
Poetry of emptiness;
Poetry of imagining it could be otherwise;
Poetry of higher expectations;
Poetry of dissatisfaction
... with where the universe has put you now
(There have been so many other richer moments).
Poetry of an interlude,
a musical rest
without which there would be no music.

Writer's imagination ...
"It is an extremely common mistake. People think the writer's imagination
is always at work, that he's constantly inventing an endless supply of
incidents and episodes; that he simply dreams up his stories out of thin
air. In point of fact, the opposite is true. Once the public knows
you're a writer, they bring the characters and events to you. And as
long as you maintain your ability to look, and to carefully listen,
these stories will continue to..."

Imagine imperceptible change
Our senses
perceive change
far better
than our memories
If change is slow enough
it doesn't feel like change at all
Bridging time-scales
is not a trivial task
from a neuronal perspective
A topic for the imagination.

Nothing was as perfect ...
Nothing was as perfect

an exaggeration of man,
likes parable.
The rough, raw, and real bits
are leaft to the imagination
to imagine.

Some time alive
Getting from A → B
The reason plain 2C
Easy as 1 2 3
from 9 2 5
Abroad in search of fun
Full moon and rising suns
Need some space to run,
some time alive
Getting from C → D
Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee
king coal and the fiddlers three
from 9 2 5
Abroad and back at home
Don't call me on the phone
Need some time alone,
some time alive
