Bad News

If it be as I have noted, that all news is bad news, then what might be the nature of anti-news?  (Just because something is not in the dictionary doesn’t mean that the dictionary is not in something else.)

In the affairs of Man, that which may initially seem to arise from the Muse of the new, fresh and alive, should it survive long enough, can later be seen as a gross satire of itself.  You can find ready examples all about, or you can wait until you are fifty, and look back at your childhood photographs.

Man alone is able to recycle spent energies via Yellow/circuit memory.  An overall pleasing boost to Life’s experience, but a pain-in-the-ass to many of the individual participants.

The old ideas that say, “God struggles to reveal himself to Man,” would now be better put as, “Life reveals itself through Man.”  Just as you must certain faculties to understand yourself, so too does Life; and Man is that faculty.

Those who worry up a sweat over the possibility of machines being “made to think,” don’t personally have much of an intellectual position to be concerned over.
