On the plurality of man (a little something I've read today and found remarkable)
2005-11-02 20:51:28
"Man is a plural being. When we speak of ourselves ordinarily, we speak of 'I'. We say, " 'I' did this," " 'I' think this, " 'I' want to do this" - but this is a mistake.
There is no such thing as 'I', or rather there are hunderds, thousands of little 'I's in every one of us. We are divided in ourselves but we cannot recognize the plurality of our being except by observation and study. At one moment it is one 'I' that acts, at the next moment it is another 'I'. It is because the 'I's' in ourselves are contradictory that we do not function harmoniously.
We live ordinarily with only a very minute part of our functions and our strength, because we do not recognize that we are machines, and we do not know the nature and working of our mechanism. We are machines.
We are governed entirely by external circumstances. All our actions follow the line of least resistance to the pressure of outside circumstances.
Try for yourselves: can you govern your emotions? No. You may try to suppress them or cast out one emotion by another emotion. But you cannot control it. It controls you. Or you may decide to do something - your intellectual 'I' may make such a decision. But when the time comes to do it, you may find yourself doing just the opposite.
If circumstances are favorable to your decision you may do it, but if they are unfavorable you will do whatever they direct. You do not control your actions. You are a machine and external circumstances govern your actions irrespective of your desires.
I do not say nobody can control his actions. I say you can't, because you are divided. There are two parts to you, a strong and a weak part. If your strength grows, your weakness will also grow, and will become negative strength unless you learn to stop it.
As you are now, you cannot even do what you decide to do."
-Georgiy Gurdjieff (London, 1922) -

On the statement of citizen Alexandrov V.V.
On your request, the statement of citizen Alexandrov V.V. was reviewed by the Department of History of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
The hypothesis offered by the author regarding the origins of humankind, as a result of "Differential relations of a male four-legged ape and a female paleo-ostrich in the conditions following a volcanic eruption", does not have sufficient scientific backing. -

...yea, I came up with that while climbing a mountain today. And then made it.
And oh, I've finally resolved most of everything on the theoretical level. Practice follows. -

The story behind this AMV is really hilarious, and I love it just for that. It's really very much an epitome of "ex nihilo".
This is what happens when your eyes and ears are open at all times, even in the most unlikely circumstances. The law of maximum distance at work.
And, much like the law of maximum distance, I somehow doubt it will be acceptable to most people.
What-ever. :roll:
