Hah ! 'plodgy indeed.

'This shit is not random'
'Now imagine it. Put the hours in and stay passionate. Wasn't blowing money. I was stacking it. Figured what the fuck I want to do in life and practised it...'

Interesting narrative.

So, his success didn't happen by chance, he put the work in.
But then again, he's also blessed by fate or good fortune. After all, he's 'young, rich and handsome'...
Right time, right face, right place...but yeah, first you gotta 'Imagine'...richness in reflection.

I couldn't listen to it at all.
I like "music".

Muse sick: sound entertainment product.

Must admit I didn't listen to it all. Lyrics sites I like.

I cannot comprehend the scale of the Earth. I know there is 12,000kms of planet beneath my feet but the scale of our "pale blue dot" is such that my head can't get around it. We know more about our local space than the inside of the planet, having drilled no more than 11kms (before the drill started to melt). Down in the core the Earth is hotter than the surface of the Sun.

I look around and everything I can see is too small to be visible even from the ISS. Even our "little" Moon is huge - and entire world in itself - so large in the sky despite being 400,000 kms away. There we are on this massive body slowly falling into the Sun, which is slowly falling into Sagittarius A*, as the galaxy hurtles through space at 2 million kph.

I like to never forget our cosmic reality for perspective's sake, to remember how little human culture is, no matter how magnified it becomes in our minds.

Regular hospital visits have included same- old, same-old form-filling questions.
Some never hesitate at the religious question. At least now, instead of a 'what religion are you?', they ask 'do you have a religion?'
Well, do ya' ? Or does it have you ?

Once a Protestant, always a protestant ?
How difficult is it to answer 'No' or 'Not relevant', especially in the presence of a believer parent.

I think it's time to save nurses' time and print out our personal profiles... Title, name, address, mobile number - over and over.
So busy are they at collecting details as a first priority, the immediate needs of the patient - like water - are delayed.
I'll get it in a minute...
As the minutiae build up. Again.
And when in pain. Terrible.

There’s also mature conceptual analysis, the dualistic medium in which we exist under these conditions. Here’s something to consider. Those clowns in the opening didn’t appear there by chance. The director made sure they were there at that moment, for awareness to perceive. Not to mention the music. As little as possible left to chance. Only touch, taste and smell are ignored in the fine example of art, but those are fast lanes to persistence of memory which is why high art must be in the hot lane, considering the inherent limitations of art itself, and using McCluhan’s definition of hot, so their absence elevates to High.

'..he's spitting on my neck...'
Inspired you, did it ??

Smilin at you.

Enuff to illustrate the obvious balancing counterpoint, same as you: simple – complex – simple.

You’ll like this, I think.

Thanks Walker, appreciate the smile and.music input. Kinda weary right now. Later...

Batteries don't last long enough.

Would you trust in the good intentions of a big ape while holding the power to end existence?

Meh. Same thing happened to King Kong and Mighty Joe Young. The gorilla must've known the score.

Out of all the possibilities that’s what you see.

On a philosophy forum.

Well then, I’ll break it to you gently. Animals don’t talk and cinematic reviews are not genetic.

You could have just stated the gorilla had seen neither movie, and I would have accepted that lol! But thanks for stating the obvious.

The gorilla being of a branch of primate that is gentle and caring, was looking after the child and protecting it from harm. Sadly the child was from a branch of primates who are moronic fucking wanky, trigger happy cunts, that like nothing better than to slaughter kind, and loving primates.

The obvious, you mean like, you don't have a relevant point?

Hobbes has a relevant point.

You could too.

The OP is 'random reflections', which you posted. I don't see anything in the OP regarding relevancy, or the need to respond without humour. You want a serious discussion on your pet project, post it in a serious thread.

One dead ape, one roughed up kid: bad parents! Baaaaad parents!
