Here is today’s thought

Here is today’s thought (this occured to me about ten minutes ago and I am so excited about it I have to get it off my chest): never write your thoughts down directly but first think strategically about how best to deploy them.

John asks himself …

Has the internet become an international form of curtain twitching?

Who’s the Tallest?

There were once two tall children. Closely related. Identical twins in fact. But one ate only ham sandwiches and an apple washed down with a glass of cows milk, everyday, while the other ate only peas, carrots, mushrooms and nuts washed down with a glass of soya milk. One was a vegetarian but the other belonged to the class of omnivores. They were both exactly the same dimensions. They would argue over who was tallest.  In a way the facts didn’t matter.  One day, one, perhaps because of a glum feeling , or a momentary loss of concentration, or because he had just missed his bus – but he lost the argument. He accepted he was shorter than the other. Consequently, the other grew up tall; he was short.

Needless to say, with this true tall story, the short one became a best selling children’s novelist while the tall one being tall proved adept at stacking shelves in his local supermarket.

The Tall Cloud

If you ask how tall a cloud is I think you will know what I am talking about.

The Pearl Occluded

For much of the time I find language opaque.

An aeroplane of virtual infinity

Think of a computer as like an aeroplane of virtual infinity. That this library is like a kind of giant aeroplane of infinity. Its invisible wings stretching even to Oxford Street. Boys and girls, set the controls for the heart of the sun. Would you like to hear my disquisition on computers? Computers are microcosms of the sub-lunar indeterminacy by means of which all reality is measured endogenously. That’s the kind of thing you learn in philosophy. If planets are bubbles in the fountain of eternity then we too by affinity are the infinitesimal effervescence of their planar edge advancing like exploding popcorn the quest into the high clouds of space in continuous floaty festival.

Duplicate vehicles with beeping horns

Wanting to duplicate objects can be interpreted as a desire to grasp their particularity. It can be understood as a kind of eroticism.

The Republic of Laughter

Begin.  First.  No. 1.  I.  The greatest.  The one and only.  The quintessence of success.  Peerless. Without compare.  Handsome.  Beautiful.  I can see this world.  20 20.  Boss.  Expert.  The man in charge.  Top banana.  Capo.  The biggest cheese of all big cheeses.  Beyond equal.  In the premier league.  Best parking spot.  Royal box.  The most incomparable pop genius of all time.  The greatest tennis player the world has ever seen.  The most expensive footballer on planet earth.   I am the greatest that ever was and ever will be.

I am intrigued

I am intrigued by what this modification does. The improved speed with which the game plays has been a huge fillip and to my interest in playing it and getting the most out of it it has increased tenfold; I get a much better sense of reality in and around the plane and things look clearer and more solidly three dimensional. The sense of the air passing by seems now tangible, rather than just something I just have to suppose. Is all this my imagination? I am going to install this mod in other games, so effective are the changes made in this one.
