Would that it were so. Easier said than done, the thinking for oneself. The problem doesn¡¯t yield to zero-sum solution. Matter into mind, mind into matter, acorn into oak tree, oak tree into log, log into fire, fire into smoke and ashes. Homer told a story and so did Einstein; so do General Motors and Donald Duck. Nothing necessarily follows from anything else. The future comes and goes so quickly that one gets used to surprise entrances and sudden exits. Buy the bicycle or the truck, wrap up the handbag and the dress, take possession of the deck chair or the parrot, and you begin the world all over again. from Motet for the Record [Laphams Quarterly]
