forbidden in heaven and useless in hell

The Phaedrus is very good

"To a sick man anything which does not resist him is pleasant, while anything which is stronger than he is or equal to him is hateful."

"Well then, this is the outcome of my whole account of madness - the madness of the man who, on seeing beauty here on earth, and being reminded of true beauty, becomes winged and, fluttering with eagerness to fly upwards but unable to leave the ground, looking upwards like a bird, and taking heed of the things below, causes him to be regarded as mad."

It is about what you WANT to do. NOT what you could do

and there are consequences. they are part of what you want, whether or not you want to acknowledge it.

Again, those who are in love consider the damage they did to their own interests because of their love and the services they have performed and, adding in the labor they have put in, they think they have long since given return enough to the objects of their love; whereas those not in love cannot allege neglect of their own interests because of it, nor reckon up their past labors, nor put blame on quarrels with their relatives.


I'm not in love, but I think I get the sentiment at the moment.

gross misuse of medical technology

I hear that hospitals have scanners that scan in miliseconds - use these with old style connect fax machine paper that is connected to itself so as to create a loop. scan in the pieces of an animation and project the outcome. the video is the speed at which a doctor can monitor your life. it could be a thing.

I hate him

getting into it. I really am.

getting "into" it. Here is the thing, you can hype yourself up, really I mean to say psych yourself up for things, but, ultimately, it's the things that capture you in resting position that you are really drawn to - they will always have their pull on you since, no matter how much of a "go getter" you might fancy yourself, you will inevitably want back into resting position, and those base wants will still be there, no matter how much you psyched yourself up for something else. I want to make clear that I see resting position, in this modern age of electronic media, as the thing I see as every educated person's dream: ample time to listen to podcasts, watch Colbert, and read the paper in tandem with historical accounts to fact check. Do I do this? Not nearly as often as I should, but I consider it my natural state because it is the free-est state a person of any class can partake in, it's in this state that you can really determine what you want and/or should be doing. I already wrote this speech. I need to spend more time in resting position to get some newer ideas.
