I choose to believe that we live in a dualistic world The dualism can be expressed in many ways, but is best expressed, DQ and SQ.
SQ is the world of expected experience. It's the world of the past - of all that is, and has been and grows with every second as we wake and as we sleep. The past. DQ is the world that is not - the world of dreams, and ideals and ideas about hopes for the future. I think people are interesting, in their orientation toward these differing worlds -- what they cling to, tells a lot about them. I even find a sort of degeneracy in the clinging to chaos! Moronism, I called it once, and a fabulous bon mot, if I do say so myself. I don't know what an Adrie is supposed to be, but it seems to me little more than dmb gimp, and such a shallow presentation offends my intellectual sensibilities. But oh well. That's what we've fallen to, folks.
