  • Walking and Talking #66: Get a Load of This

    "The world is not divided into stand-alone entities. It is we who divide it into objects for our convenience. A mountain chain is not divided into individual mountains: it is we who divide it up into parts that strike us as in some way separate. A countless number of out definitions, perhaps all of them, are relational: a mother is a mother because she has a child; a planet is a planet because it orbits a star; a predator is such because it hunts prey; a position in space is there only in relation to something else. Even time exists only as a set of relations."

    -Carlo Rovelli, Helgoland

  • Walking and Talking #65: There's a Lot of Stuff

    “When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is one head. If a man could but be turned about, he would see at once God and himself and the All.”

    ― Plotinus, The Enneads

  • Walking and Talking #64: Out of Sorts

    “The marvelous logic of the mad which seems to mock that of the logicians because it resembles it so exactly, or rather because it is exactly the same, and because at the secret heart of madness, at the core of so many errors, so many absurdities, so many words and gestures without consequence, we discover, finally, the hidden perfection of a language.”

    ― Michel Foucault, Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason

  • Walking and Talking #58: Proliferation

    "Meaning" is always relative to a context. When you apply it to an all-encompassing term like life, existence or reality, there is no larger context. Meaning is meaningless in any ultimate sense.
