Notes by TK
Kyroot to :04. There is an intrigue/fascination with, and perplexed questioning by the more complex human, of primitive peoples’ beliefs, i.e., “do they actually believe that? or is it a metaphor, or just primitive, childish dreams?” It is then a small step in life for the sophisticate to have a consuming interest in such questions, to embellish theories and interpretations of meaning about them.
It is the fascination of the more advanced civilization with primitive myths, ideas; an amazed incredulity at them and spinning of interpretations regarding their possible helpful insights for advanced man. This is all useless for a RE/ Real Explorer. The primitive is useless to the RE, including imagining what possible profitable significance it may hold.
An unrecognized cosmic law: the proof of something’s existence is in the fact that you or someone questions the validity of it, questions its existence. Remember: locally, everything exists. The only real question is “how useful is it?”. If it’s primitive it’s not functional. The more intellectually sophisticated you are the more attracted to primitive, simplistic info you are.
Local reality is the enemy of New Info, Why would a New Intellect want to be his own enemy? New Intelligence = New Info.
Losers get the most out of wars—at least they get something to talk about: history. There is no real advantage to winning, it has no mystique, just losing does. So, whether you win or lose, you lose! Consider the internal application.
There are two odors related to people’s talk about themselves:
1. bragging over Secondary Level accomplishments (odor of the unnecessary to survive);
2. boasting over PL/Primary Level accomplishments, e.g., parenthood (this carries the odor of the necessary).
And Kyroot Said…
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I’ll admit that there
are a few places in the universe that still believe that…
(Although I don’t know why bad news would make anyone feel
better.)

Whilest walking down the street one day, one chap almost
came out of it. (His doctor now advises that he avoid that
promenade.)

Archival Note Number La De Da De De: All of the feats and
undertakings most remembered by history were done by men who
stared a lot.

If a man will tell you what time it is he may tell you when
it’s too late.
***
While under the sway of terrestrial atmospheric conditions,
you should never attempt to repair your grandfather.
***
In some duller areas of the universe, criticizing another’s
hobby is itself a hobby.
***
There’s no need to remember your hat size, for one filter
fits all.
***
One fellow, in noting what he calls, “the weirdness of
words,” says ain’t it strange that a “rude awakening” can be a
civilizing influence. (Wonder if he’s ever considered it the
other way around.)
***
It takes no exceptional talent to build bridges to where
you’ve been, but to fashion spans to the future is another matter
altogether.

Was talking to this little feller in the hesitant district
of that other state who told me that one of his favorite songs
was, “Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone.” (Upon
reflection he did add that his absolute favorite was, “Please
Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Here.”)

No matter if you’re religious, not religious, thoughtful or
otherwise, you can appeal to no authority higher than your own
neural development.
***
Some large organizations never dream.

Some neural chemistry can ferment into heady wine, while
others just rot and stink up the place.

Some of this world’s most interesting books haven’t been
written yet.

For those still confused by the struggle between images and
words, remember, in some places one picture is worth a dollar
ninety-eight.

Query: Is there a difference between “non-verbal” and
“silent?”
Answer: It’s according to where you are.
***
All Real Explorers are carriers of a noxious bacteria which
men usually spread wherever they go. It is called by so many
names that I cannot list them all. Let me simply refer to it as
“blank.” Now, you fill in the blank with your name.

One well meaning guy (I just said that, I don’t know whether
he was well meaning or not, but anyway) this one guy, in this one
part of this one galaxy said to some ears around him, “I’ve got
so much to tell you I can’t do it all right now. In fact, it’s
so much, I can’t even tell you later. Tell you what, it’s so
muchù that I just won’t tell you at all.”
***
One guy said that what made animals so cute is that they
don’t have a brain so as to pretend they could ever be other than
they are. And another guy chewed on this for a bit, and said,
“Yeah, but humans having a brain and believing they canù so change
is what makes them so cuddly.”
***
After hearing an expert mention the number of cells in the
average human brain, one guy looked suspiciously at his own head
and shouted, “I want a recount.”
