Notes by TK

Kyroot to :04.
Extreme info should produce extreme behavior, should it not? It does not…so what is up? Even the knowledge of one’s inevitable natural death—the ultimate extreme info—does not produce extreme behavior. Is this because the info is not extreme enough to produce extreme behavior, or because man’s senses cannot contain/admit more extreme info? The “limits of technology” on human science/knowledge is really the limitation of the intellectual capacity of man. The advances of knowledge come with advances of intellectual capacity.

Freedom is not a condition of being not-guilty” internally. E.g., Jesus’ trial, Socrates confronted by the Senate. “Not-guilty” pronouncements at the same level as that at which charges are initially pressed will not produce freedom: it is meaningless to those not incarcerated. Only the Real Explorer can find himself “not-guilty” by expansion of his intelligence; there is no liberating extreme info.


And Kyroot Said…

Over on this one planet, anything that can be said of reality
is also not true.

We dream of pluralities, but marry monoliths.

Just before it’s too late, it’s too early again.

***

One guy said that the way to cover up for a bad memory was to
pretend you weren’t interested, and someone else said they thought
that was the cause of a bad memory, and the first guy said, “Ah,
never mind, just forget it.”

***

A certain scientist now says that he’s pretty sure there’s an
unrecognized force in the universe that causes things on some
planets to seem disjointed and fragmented.

***

In certain places, certain numbers make certain people uneasy.

***

One guy, invited to say a few words, stayed for dinner.
Another guy, invited to dinner, lingered all year. And another
guy given the keys to the house — sold the sucker.

***

There’s another funny place where the final score is not based
on the way the game was played, but on the way it was scored.

***

“Hello, hello, this is a voice speaking. Can anyone hear me?”
Now, isn’t that silly? Why would any voice speak if no one could
hear it?

***

If you don’t roll-with-the-flow, you can die-with-the-
dialogue.

***

In one city, Wednesday is the longest day of the week.
***

From that little planet just over there I once heard a voice
sigh, “Ah, to have lived when outrage was king.”

***

There’s some news always serving unseen needs.

***

Many people who say they want to “get home” really want to
“get lost.”

***

There’s also a scientist in a sillier part of the universe
who says there’s yet another uncataloged power, the “Yoohoo
Force.” (He gives its more technical name as the “Hello There
Principle.”)

***

“Hell,” noted one guy, “Everybody says that’s not what they
meant, when we all know otherwise.”

***

In certain universes just getting close to the end doesn’t
mean you’re that far away from the beginning.

***

All visible power is local.

***

Secrecy is the necessary refrigeration for keeping a real
agenda.

***

The horny often arrive early.
