We are only allowed to grope in the dark in reference to all that inspires our incomprehensible machine.

~Voltaire, 1764

…but no sooner than we stop our fumbling about, ever the happy better appears with a torch.

King George the relatively trivial usurper…
Seriously! Read ~> July 4th Musings by Karl Denninger, h/t & thx @AnnBarnhardt

I forget, is it “too big to fail”, or is it “too big to jail”… or are these mutually inclusive? @ 07.12.12

Either I don’t know what I’m talking about, or nobody understands what I’m talking about, or both, or neither. Doesn’t matter, does it? @ 07.12.12

International Gun Registry!?!? Are they kidding?! 

If “science” can burn us on global warming, what else are they cooking up? @ 07.10.12

I don’t have to like the President. I just want him to do his ef’n job… so I don’t have to hate him. @ 07.10.12

Have you taken your dictation today? serf! @ 07.09.12

Every debate with a liberal starts with the assumption that central govt authority is the norm, then they demand you prove THEM wrong. @
It’s like the left says “I can enter your house whenever I want”, then the argument is about which door to leave unlocked. @
Constitutional, limited govt & individual liberty in ALL forums is the true default. Let the liberals prove IT wrong. @
We already have the formula, declared and constituted, innocent until proven guilty. @

How come nobody knows what I’m saying?

How come nobody knows what I’m saying? I mean, you keep saying that, you mean. Every word that I scratch on the page has the clarity of stone, and people’s ears drip right off it. Dare I question the itch?

But it’s really okay if you, they, don’t understand me, I’ll catch up in due course. Then we’ll be one of those compendium of the mind things, likely more useless than now. Hey!

Good to know now that we agree, as the worry was setting, and they don’t care for it, except sometimes my own, see? Communication, dialog, so important, and when they finally comprehend me, I’ll get what you are saying, and somebody will fathom our cranial displacement.

Perplexity is often misperceived, much like the view from inside this box.

Search for Truth, Notes to Self

God, knowledge, Philosophy, prosetry, truth, understanding, wisdom

Ever growing search for understanding, ever confirming ignorance, will ever overwhelm, even overpower your mind, even heavy your heart. Take notice these potent evers, that you keep humble hold knowing the limits on your knowings, and the knowings of others.

Do not let the evers and evens of this reality dispirit the quest, though, as it is a noble, even necessary thing, enriching and defining humanness itself.

While the fleetings of attentiveness and leakings of data persist, the whole of a man mature, yeah, increasing your power over and of you, bettering expressions.

Truth, bent by time, to and from truth, merely the empirical is and was, is the ultimate object of your pursuits. Expect the consumption of an enormity will only acquire an atom of truth, and you shall have some contentment.

Always remember the relativity of truth in the environment of men, and consider the motive of truth’s deliverer, trusting first the atoms of your soul, given you at once by God, and grown by you with wisdom.
