On the Concept of Magic.

Magic is like Nazis or the Devil (didn't see that coming, did you?).

Well, it is, in the sense that it is often used by lazy people as an excuse for something better,

like (in the case of Nazis)

• your own psyche
• yourself from the future
• fate itself

or (in the case of Magic (capital M))

• sufficiently advanced technology
• dreams
• etc...

The Apocalypse

I have a question for me.

Yes, for me.
There's no point asking you, dear reader, because of the indirectness of this wonderful medium.
I wouldn't know who I was talking to.

What Can I Say?

People talk to people, right?

When they do, there's stuff to be said (okay, not that often. Athe knows I've had more conversations without substance than with).

And when people have stuff to be said, there's different things they can say.

Further thoughts on Time

I've already had the idea of seeing forward in time.

The first objection I got,

was that my idea/post presupposes the idea that someone who can see into the future,

can't turn it off.

But there was a second fallacy.

Someone who can comprehend the near infinite factors of a single thing, must also be able to comprehend them all.

Since the universe is expanding at the speed of light, and is therefore (almost) infinite (you can not travel faster than light, and you can never catch up with the "end" of the universe. So, it can be said it is infinite.

Nihilism according to Hemingway

Okay, I've been reading a bit of Hemingway now,

and I can positively say that I like it quite a bit.

But now, after reading an analysis by Annette Beneri (yeah, I never heard of her either) I have this to say about it.

Now, if you're not into literature, stop now, mkay?

Holy Crap

I would like turn your attention to the future.

Do you know what the future brings? Of course you don't. You can guess.

But imagine you could. What if you could see into the future?

Not just that. Imagine you could see (and comprehend) every little detail. Every unknowable factor that makes the Chaos Theory so much fun.

You still wouldn't be able to. The ability to see into the future is even hypothetically impossible.
