Less bright and loud
More strong and deep
Neither open nor hidden
There lingering
A happiness
Me contented

History made society; society makes history.
Kith and kin and clan, that’s society.
Discussing Talk
Though I would talk with you
You’d rather discuss with me
I want to talk to you
Discusing to you is impossible
Listen,
I’m talking
You talk back
We’re talkimg to each other
I’m talking
you heard me
and responded
I heard you
…
It was nice discussion
What’s the algorithm behind the behaviour
Algorithms are data processors
If the data is bad: garbage out
If the algorithm is bad: garbage out
Behaviour is the result of an algorithm
It takes in data and information
And produces garbage or wisdom

The gods of fashion
The gods of fashion speak every season.
They tell us what to wear and sometimes what not.
They help us craft artificial self-esteem:
we feel cool with ourselves
because we’re wearing that that they’ve prescribed for the day.
Declaring what to trend,
they ask us to sync with what’s trending
— feeding their fame and fortune.
But we have taken the red pill.
I still like my two-button, and not overly fitted, suits.
That one-button suits, with fitted fitting, are in now, will soon pass.
And for what? I would not try to tell.
We leave that for the gods of fashion.
Because their fashions are fickle, are the gods not fickle.
Trusted to be arbiters of style,
we give them power:
if we have to bother about how to wear ourselves
as they describe for winter, fall, spring, or summer.
You can’t beat the decent and the sensible, can you.
Principles the gods of fashion cannot overrule, by principle.
Some follow these, others try to redefine the fine.
Many claim a variable morality;
variable by the seasons, ‘artists’ whims, and volitional caprices.
Beauty makes sense.
And crazy isn’t beautiful.
It can’t be, by design.
‘I love you’ rings in my head
Thinking of how many times I’ve heard them
Those words, they appear in me now and again
Whether you’re here or some where
‘I love you,’ rings in my head
You were in love with me yesterday
“What have you done to me”
I still remember those words
“I can’t get you out of my head”
You were so in love — with me
That you wanted me like I wanted you
Was a feeling of heaven in my world
That’s someone else’s heaven now
You were in love with me yesterday
“Knowing and doing are two different things, …”
“… especially when it comes to pleasure.” An ‘o so true’ statement by Levitt and Dubner in Superfreakonomics.
It got me thinking…
Knowing and doing are two different things, especially when it comes to [a] pleasure:
Have you ever known the pleasure of pride or ignorance, or of ‘happiness’ or an addiction, etc, to prevent some one (I, for instance) from seeing/following the ‘truth?’ Likely yes, at least on television.
Knowing and doing are two different things, especially when it comes to [a] pain:
Have you ever known the pain of future responsibility or success, or of failure or ridicule, or of losing a pleasure or a happiness, etc, to prevent some one (I, for imstance) from doing the ‘truth?’
Knowing and doing are two different things, especially when ….
[Complete the statement for you, then move—on/off—as you please.]
And you might find that knowing and doing are two different things, especially when it’s not inconvenient for them to be so.
So, if I want change, it would be helpful to make it inconvenient for knowing and doing to be different.
Happy birthday old friend
To SC,
the happiness of contentment
the pleasure of peace
the joy of truth
the fulfillment of belonging, and of possession in belonging
