Notes by TK
Kyroot to :11. Nothing can enter the human intellectual arena without being polarized. Polarized thought limits the speed of progress to the slow pace of ordinary evolution. Paradise is conceived of as a polarized place free of all impropriety and error. This is like going from the world of possibility (good vs. bad, with all its permutations) to one of no possibility, i.e., where only good can happen. Thus such progress is the termination of variety. Utopia = tapioca.

just ease up dammit! ;
There’s some law, or standard
concerning everything you’ll ever do
so why not just ease up.”, his
reflection hiccupped, and said,

Our parting shot – I mean, “Thought For The Day”:
If you can think about something once
you could think about it twice;
If you can think about it twice
you can think about it one more time,
and if you can think about it all of these times
you should’ve thought about it better to begin with.
