inside of me — to which I was never formally invited.”
***

the cats.
***
Humor that is anecdotally based is always personal and local
and thus too limited to actually be funny or informative.
***
“If men realized just how mechanical all of life —
including their intellectual one — really is — would they
continue to make effort?” “Nay — the better question is: Even
with such new understanding, what additional choices would they
then have?!”
…..The above verbal by play does not represent the concept of
“Determinism” at its most harsh and unyielding, nor at its most
vague and theoretical — it simply represents it.
