Nobody ever asks me anything. I suppose I should have advertised it a bit, but now when no one asks me anything I’ll know that no one really wants to ask me anything.

On Man and Machine
I was in bed catching up on some sleep when I started thinking about immortality (as I often do). I fully believe, that in my lifetime, the human race will at least have the rudimentary structure down for extending the “life” of one’s consciousness beyond one’s physical body.
The metaphor of “downloading” our consciousness into a computer is often used as an...

Perfectly average
In my school’s library there is one stairway leading to the second floor. The stairway terminates at this second floor in such a way that it takes the place of what would be the fourth wall of perfectly average square room.

Cut and Shoot, TX →
According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was either over:
The design of a new steeple for the town’s only church,
The issue of who should be allowed to preach there, or
The conflicting land claims among church members.
“Another mistake, always made by the vulgarest persons, is that of placing the...”
