Abstraction, ambiguity, sex, poetry, freedom, and a psychiatrist

***

Abstraction fails, for there are an infinite number of abstractions to fit any particular data.

From Art Fax: learn to live with ambiguity.

Truth is a subterfuge from ambiguity, but only if truth is considered as a real possibility.

Could things be temporarily arranged to produce emergent properties, like electricity?

The overrating of sex: it's the best thing we've got and still it isn't enough, or else we'd spend all our time screwing.

1990 poetry bash: 'What is?' is the wet dreams of impotent men.

'Freedom' is a contemporary dis-tribalization problem.

A psychiatrist must first convince you that something is wrong with you so that later he can convince you that he cured you.
