The News
Life gives every man a microscope — then looks back at him
in it through a telescope. “Well, say Elvira, no wonder so many
of my friends are ‘bug-eyed’!”
***
A man who can count can also forget how to count.
***
No one cares for a child like its parents; man has no
parents — no intellectual parents!
***
Each morning, one man would give himself a “preview” of the
day’s coming activities; he had no name for this, and it never
worked, but he did it just the same; because he was red-headed,
near-sighted, and a Gemini. * Men who search for direct “causes”
of everything in their personal life will stand at a station in
the middle of a desert, looking first this way — then that,
assuming that trains can only come from one of two directions. *
…(Such humans also bear the inclination to favor science and
psychology when the magic and hocus-pocus machines are
temporarily down.)
***
In a land where no one is wrong — creatures can never
think.
***
Trying to “figure out,” or find a rational reason for trying
to think-for-yourself is like a cow trying to decide why it might
be nice not to be a cow any longer. …(All-in-all — Tough
goin’, all around.)
***
One man apparently misunderstood everything — everything he
ever heard! — which made it all come out even. People searching
for “sense” don’t like when things don’t make it.
***
Amongst the ordinary — even intellectually speaking — the
herd instinct is the proper instinct.
***
On this one star, when men can’t do something, they’ll
always say they can.
***
Some times — even when you’re close — there’s no one there
to tell you — which is why you’ve got to know it for yourself.
***
There was once a man who started a new religious cult, and
whose teachings were, in truth, based on his own uncertainties,
and unfulfilled dreams in life; upon learning of this his
followers were aghast and sorely disappointed…well — some of
them were, while others just wished they’d thought of it first.
***
It doesn’t much matter what the ordinary eat — but you’re
not ordinary.
***
* If you’re not exactly sure where your life’s going — it’s
good to have “memories.” (That was for the ordinary; now for the
expanded edition): * One man published his memoirs as he lived
them. –There’s no time like the present!ù — Yes, and especially
to “do away with” the past. —
***
Meditation: Pastry cook’s attempt at warfare.
***
Consider: The ordinary worry over the morality of train
travel when they couldn’t “get off” even if they wanted to.
***
One man named his basic genetic desires after the seven days
of the week — boy! — what a dreamer!
***
Men not capable of real individual thinking often write
famous books regarding the theory thereof. “Libraries are a
wondrous place to live!”ù — Yes, perhaps, but they also have
other astounding aspects that you failed to mention. …”Oh.”
Bluebirds, suicidus-de-novo-plagiarisimus, can soar to miraculous
heights by simply holding onto the tail feathers of clouds.
Thus, in the competition, should man’s collective intellect not
only be awarded at least a “Nine Point Eight,” but disqualified
as well.
***
Sequential-progress is only perceptible and valid to those
with straight-edge minds.
***
One man thought up games for his mind to play, then almost
immediately made up some for his emotions to play as well; guess
which of the two wouldn’t play right?
***
Living “real close” — even right next door to yourself —
strikes many people as an acceptable excuse.
***
Cows suddenly, and unaccountably, forced to, “think for
themselves” can go into convulsions. “Hey man!,” said one man’s
mind to himself, “I ain’t no cow! — and even is I were — you
think I’d tell you?!”
***
Costs: Energy in flux.
***
Those not prepared to think, often like to believe that men
weren’t intended to.
***
Inside the pocket of an individual man — everything costs
the same. (The title of this page was: “Additional Dynamics Of
Cosmology.”)
***
After being unexpectedly confronted with some true,
independent thinking, one man got real upset and called his mama.
…..The weak can always be comforted by their genes.
***
How Science May Have Begun: An overcast day means little to
a blind man with bed sores — other than to given him the chance
to say to his nurse and family: “You see!, you canker-brains —
I told you it would come to this!”
***
Many men become religious after seeing trains continually go
off over the horizon while the trailing smoke never disappears.
***
Having to continually “fine tune” your life is one of the
side effects of having a life.
***
Once you understand that life makes all men come born
believing they’re left handed, then further implants them with
the negative notion of the word, “gauche,” then you can continue
to visit the dances (or not), without getting entangled-in &
strangled-by their self-flagellations, in which you were once
such a happy participant.
***
You have your alternative: You can either define your mind,
or it’ll define you.
***
A man thought: “Why don’t animals ever apologize?”
***
The concept of “fiction” came about when the first man’s
cerebral neurons took a totally unexpected leap and he thought:
“Hey, you can’t do that!”
…..The real thinker does not simply, continually “write-
fiction,” but rather constantly re-writes just what the
definition thereof is.
***
Monopolies can afford to be magnanimous. “So! — that’s why
life’s so nice to me!”
***
The searching for relief is no proof positive that relief is
required.
***
The news changes little every day; thus men become
accustomed-to — then satisfied-with, the usual. Myths, Lies And
Dirty Rumors: Even some real thinkers think: “Boy, it can be
hard having to get-out-of-town every day.” Don’t you believe
it, Horatius! — The collective will offer to comfort you whilst
dulling your sword; that’s why a mind, “up-in-the-morning-&-
wide-awake” might accept an unknown C.O.D. package, but never,
sympathy. Truths, Lies, And Great Real Estate Deals.

Why It Gets Cold, And Then Gets Hot: Life has to walk to
work.
***
Put into facial wax — a man’s hormones become his
countenance.
***
Cows whose minds will go in two directions think: “Wow! —
ain’t I something!”
***
A real thinker experiences a kind of xenophobia in that he
has a mistrust of foreign thoughts — ideas not native to his own
mind.
***
One man sent imaginary messages back to his imaginary
ancestors — all of a quite insulting, though good-natured and
controversial nature.
***
Since change is an illusion, only illusionary people change.
Just for fun, one man used to suddenly jump in front in a mirror
real fast just to see if he could “catch” himself. Okay, dammit:
“Heavy Thinker’s Addendum, Dammit”: A man who can “catch
himself” sure ain’t quick enough, now is he. Slow minds are
friendly minds; why they always have time to stop with one
another and say, “Well, howdy Pardner.” (A true individual
thinker is a bit more particular who he associates with).
***
On this one world, the people who make up the news also make
up the future.
***
A man who’ll fuck around with his emotions will fuck around
with most anything. This could be better said initially,
regarding man’s thinking — but most people would have a harder
time getting holt of the core concept.
***
A man’s daily life passes through more internal time zones
than the Moscow To Vladivostok Express. Everybody’s disoriented
— but only the keen-eyed realize it. “Then tell me, kind
conductor — does that then make any difference?” “Sir, I must
ask you again — go back to your seat!” “Kind conductor, you
have just unwittingly answered my question.” And the handsome
and comely traveler continued on down the line to privately sing
to himself, non-stop: “All aboard! — All-l-l a ‘fuckin’-board.”
***
The ladder “up” in the world is an imaginary ladder — but
hey!, see! that’s the only way it’s s’posed to be.
***
“Human attributes” are like a booby-prize consolation for
half-eaten train tickets.
***
One outstanding characteristic of common myths is that the
damn things can’t seem to be worn out.
***
What can be more fun than watching a train leave the
station?! — watching yours!
***
Men who believe that gods talk to them are like cows who
cannot imagine that, “Moo” is the proper communication between
their kind.
***
The “laws” of ordinary thought are always Draconian — when
not Pyrrhic — which of course, make them just-t-t right!
***
As long as a person believes that there is a potential “pay
off” to any of man’s unique spiritual, artistic, or intellectual
games, they remain just that — forever, incompleted games.
(That’s why moving over to a new playing field is so important.
[“Gosh, Wayne, did he say ‘important’?” “Yes he did, Burt, but
he may have meant ‘necessary’.” “Well…gosh Wayne! — gosh.”])
***
Where life is flourishing, local ballrooms will en passant
tolerate even the least promising of dance teams in a manner
worthy of the most just and equitable minded — such as: Even
pea-brained leaders may find some pea-brained followers. * Do
not bother to say: “Let the music begin.” Or to ask for “Whom
the music plays?” For it is always playing — and it is always
for us. *
***
Genes wanna fuck — humans wanna relate; …(god knows what
real thinkers want to do!)
***
One man could feel his mind working! …(well, he said he
could). Serious Person’s Footnote: No such thing as mentioned
above ever happened! — but you couldn’t know if it did or not.
***
Collective intelligence: A herd in which the denser cows
are certainly not barred from leading. …”Ha ha, I think I get
it: It’s like a joke that ain’t all that funny — right?”…
***
Fact: The smarter you get the easier it is to “doctor”
yourself. Fact-In-The-Face: That’s really kind of a “trick
Fact” inasmuch as the smarter you get the less sick you should be
anyway. Wrap-Up-Fact: You see! — if you don’t take a fact for
what it is, and let it go at that — you’ll just get all-l-l
confused and fucked up. * A rational man knows when to stop! —
A real thinker never does. *
***
It is not correct to say that man is born with no on-board
instructions regarding how to intellectually “be a man”; the
instructions he comes with tell him: “Go out and look for
instructions!”
***
One man’s ancestors “threw him for a loop” so he threw them
off the train!
***
One man began to make his old self so intellectually
“uncomfortable” that he actually started to like himself.
***
Tightening the mind in a certain way can actually loosen the
limbic system.
***
No sane man will go off on a trip unless he has some idea
where it’s headed — or, unless someone will tell him the
destination, no matter how improbable. Ergo Corollary: Real-
thinkers don’t bother with pissant trips like these.
…..”A man who can ‘think-off-the-tracks’ is nuts.” “Yeah-h-h,
but not unless he tells somebody.”
***
How Things Are Different: If hippos believed that they
should be “better hippos,” man would have additional competition
in the work place.
***
A real artist doesn’t merely “burn bridges” — but is a
burning bridge.
***
Man’s Personality: An on-going train that didn’t start out
from anywhere.
…..The progress on this one planet could be plotted by the
fact that their allegories went from fables regarding animals to
ones involving technology.
***
There is a certain intellectual “dance step” that they never
show you over in the collective’s ballroom.
***
One reason that the ordinary say that they don’t know what’s
going on in life is because of the way the question has always
been put to them.
***
To a real thinker, the world’s “Great Ideas” are day-
laborers.
***
“Those-who-know,” and don’t give a damn, have a certain
ploy: They never let on.
***
The way an independent thinker comes to know-what-he-knows
is through a process sort of like, “ipse cognitait”: He himself
thought it; a privately-held certainty, without proof.
