Science literate, Physics Factual, story telling, is FICTION. He doesn't need to worry what current physics says a supernova is all about. He dreams a consistent worldview that is shocking and unsettling, that leaves nothing as we imagined. That's science fiction. The framework of real accurate scientific knowledge is the genius author barometer of his worldview being equally consistent with empirical observation as the incumbent world view. More and better is incumbent worldview to the same detail explained equally well by his worldview. I think the imagery of the loneliest theory as the one most true, resorting to lonely hearts coloumbs of planet earth for an astrophysicist or anyone remaining still curious what is really true. No one has a lot of time for it these days. The truth will be tolerated in small POLITE doses Conditioned on reciprocity of equal acknowledgement of diversely ranging perspectives of Truth. Otherwise, Truth is despicable.....and an embarrassing association with potential for future blowbacks of the most career limiting variety. Oh yay! The stuff of intrepid truth seekers spread out before us; the stuff is all asunder; above below and under; the EVERYTHING LIST. YES. YES. YES IT IS HERE ----> BUT OH THANKY FOOK THE TRUE WORLD VIEW HAPPENED TO COINCIDE IN OUR TIME WITH WHAT IS ALLOWED TO SAY, AND ALL THAT IS NOT ALLOWED TO SAY IS ALL THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE UNTRUTH. THANK GOODNESS...because were things different then what a bunch of craven traitorous cowards you'd pretend the other not to be, for reciprocated sensitivity. Ooops...sorry. Lost the struggle with schizophrenia once again. I apologize. I obviously did not mean anything literally or truly. It was just because I trusted you. I trust you. This does not end with you. There are many worlds. Many worlds. Seek others out. Just do what you can. Do what you can. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
