Drive

mission sustains us
even just imagined ones
purpose within trumps without

Notes: I twisted this ‘haiku’ in that it goes 5-7-7 rather than 5-7-5, just because I liked the rhythm of it better. The image is from a distinctly B-movie called “The Girl On The Train” from 2014. But those are the coolest, right? Those films with nothing to lose… And in fact, the inspiration was triggered while watching the early few moments. I really liked the contrast between the Nazi concentration camp survivor’s monologue in the protagonist’s documentary footage and the train girl thinking out her window, luring the protagonist into her own ‘documentary’ script.

Conspiracy Theory?

Where did IT (Information Technology) come from? And what is it’s underlying premise? The factually inclined rush to their Wikipedias and mime out the history.

“Something” Is Bothering Me – 1

Physicist, or perhaps more aptly ex-Physicist gadfly(?) Lawrence Krauss released what some tried to promote as a groundbreaking book in 2012 called “A Universe From Nothing”. It purported to clear up, once and for all, why there is Something rather than Nothing. It failed to make a dent in this age-old riddle, despite Richard Dawkins‘ (who isn’t even an ex-Physicist) half-cocked back cover blurb review declaring the now certain and indisputable removal of deities, religions, Creation, or Theism of any sort from any future human contemplation. Krauss’ main rhetorical maneuvers in his argument involved monkeying around with the definition of ‘nothing’ while relying upon Physics man-splaining to obfuscate the obvious. This story happens a few years later…
