Night Dreams, Day Dreams
Night Dream
Last night, I had a dream that I saw my ex wife as we were both walking out of a building. She gave me a surprised look. I gave her the finger.
When I got to the parking lot, an Asian child and a Doberman kept jumping into my car. No matter what I did, I couldn’t keep them out. I think that they were together, and that they thought that they were playing a really good game.
Day Dream
As I sat staring out the window at lunch, thinking about what I could possibly do with my life, a thought crossed my mind that seemed so surprisingly clear that it seemed foreign: “There’s no time for that stuff before you die.”
And as I sat there looking out the window, I bought it. This is it.
It was very strange.
The Scientist and the Philosopher
An old friend sent me two articles to peruse today. One was a very scientific article on the importance of the exploration of deep space by bla bla bla something something. If I had more of an inclination toward things of a scientific nature, I might have done more than skim it. I might have even be inclined to think that scientifically, it was good, while philosophically, it was crap.
The other was on memes. As far as I can tell, a meme is a contagious thought that takes on a life of its own and seeks maximum attention in our minds. As I read a good portion beyond the original article, I can tell you that scientifically, it’s crap, while philosophically, I found it fascinating.
