Lol. No worries, That's more for those ideas of love people are conditioned to build up in their head and get raped by eventually. Innate fluffy believer stuff. See it all the time with folk around here and their succubi, ethereal soulmates, or whatever.

You inadvertently uncovered a gem digging in the dirt there, but this one makes more sense to me, and I'm done splitting hairs over how similar it is.

That one was so good and refreshing that this morning I swapped it with that Maureen McGovern shit that I posted last night during my altered state. Sometimes I just give up on the musical interrogation and make a choice, as redundant and boring as it might be at times, and some of these threads are also my playlists, so I try and make them as good as possible.

That Flying V that Zakk is using looks just like one that Randy used. For a while there I forgot how great of a guitar player Randy Rhodes actually was. He was one of the best, no doubt.

"A lion is not a lion if it is only free to eat, to sleep, and to copulate. It deserves to be free to hunt and to choose its own prey; to look for and find its own mate; to fight for and hold its own territory."

If you're going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy.

There really is no separation. It's coming from, and returning, to the same thing, although, as with most things, easier said, than done.

The random things I read about that I find vastly more interesting than demons and macabre identity tags.
"The fifteen moving trucks took different routes to Indianapolis from Baltimore as a diversion tactic so that the Maryland State Police could not delay them until after the eminent domain law was signed. As each truck reached Indiana, the Indiana State Police met it and escorted it to Indianapolis—a process repeated until all fifteen vans had reached the destination."
Take that, Maryland legislature!

The altered states stir the creativity of the writer. An artist may have the necessary tools to create a work of art, but without the motivation and creativity they are useless.

"The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal".
~ Aristotle
What is naturally unequal shouldn't be artificially bolstered. Doing such sets what nature judged to be equal as unequal. Unsetting natures balance is what tips the scale against humanity in its course of survival; brings extinction ever closer.

The problem here is in equating the artificial with the unnatural.
There is nothing truly unnatural occurring in existence. 'Artificial' is used as a relative term to indicate an alternative to a generally accepted standard.
- or -
I could say that all initial organisms and material constituents are natural, and therefore all derivatives, thus 'artificial' serves as the threshold pertinent to a degree of change, but not unnatural.
- and -
Terms like 'artificial intelligence' are misleading. Artificial sweetener creates the sensation of being sweet even although it is not sugar cane, so while it may be referred as artificial in being man-made, but not unnatural where unnatural would serve a greater implication than that occurring outside, or beyond the scope of natures' status quo.
- so -
Ultimately 'artificial' becomes nothing more than a term to indicate a similarity as well as a difference and probably best used to distinguish the inorganic from the organic, but the mistake would be in equating the artificial with the unnatural.

"Evaluation of an idea must take into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of the idea independent of all other variables. To factor in the length of time or the social acceptance of the idea is to allow the flaws of logic to seep into one's thought processes."

Now I'm just trying to wrap my head around evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of an idea independent of any variables, when the variables themselves are what defines these strengths and weaknesses. Can these words have any meaning when taken in isolation? Why is it that I, or an idea is strong, or, weak? Just because I say so? The way I look? Perhaps attributes is preferable over variables, something, anything - like a Todd Rundgren album.
And furthermore, the time factor as well as the social acceptance associated with the ideas' strengths and weaknesses are in fact variables.

I see at the end of the IA's quote is the affirmation of exclusion, whatever, it's still sloppy.

@CC. Very. I thought the same thing.
What he's trying to say is that to earnestly evaluate something, the time and social acceptance variables can't be present because it creates the flaw of logic. But the artsy attempt at wording is sloppy.

Rushing into the writing here can be a slippery slope at times, B, we mostly take our time, but trying new things as of late in the name of 'fun', and most things aren't perfect anyway, but we try.

"'Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old."
~ Alcaeus (611-580 BCE) [Scholiast on Sophocles]
"The wrath within ourselves is of our fundamental nature; therefore, last to be lost. Don't lose the fire within, by allowing those without, to water you down."
