Philosophy
L. B. Mek said:

\'Shackled by
reality.
Dancing
in a
small hall.
Dancing,
exploring
nonetheless.
Philosophy,
why not?\'
Because its easier, to reverse engineer
Nature
and call it, progressively commercialised Science...
(where as, we
intrigued by antiquity\'s
searching mindset\'s, continue our inherited questing legacy
for historically contexed, wisdom
gotta stick together,
endlessly/pointlessly toiling away, like that great gadfly, and excepting nothing more
than what he himself received, in the end.
but hoping, one of us
will find that important question, as a key
to answering humanity\'s timeless need, for the meaning
in anything and Everything!)
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Goldfinch60 said:

Many people are unaware that the answer to all computing scenarios is zero or one.
Maybe one day we will all be able to answer any question by saying zero or one. It will be easier for us oldies as we will not have to remember the things that we keep on forgetting.

but still,
we get to have a lotta fun
on the way
a spontaneous hootenanny
to save the day
hip hip hooray! lol
(yeah its a Thursday morning
grey clouds of ensuing winter
all around,
allow me this moment of frivolity),
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Blank Slate
Goldfinch60 said:

That blank slate can be filled with so many things, one can only wish that only good things could be put on it.

Lies2
L. B. Mek said:

(thanks for sharing, and for inspiring my scribbled reply, dear poet)
its easy to look back and judge those from the past for believing too easily,
for allowing others to lie to them and lead them blindly..
but aren\'t we the generation of modernity, that shut down Life itself
because of a lab leak, that needed Fauci, his greedy \'Investor\'s\' and their zealot scientists:
to Lie and Lie and Lie and Lie...
so Science, doesn\'t get branded with the same \'cancel\' brush
as all-things seemingly fraudulent and Archaic, like having faith?
see, its easy to find the faults in the world
we all see it, even when we try to ignore it,
but it gets a little heated, when we try and find the Faults in ourselves,
you know
the one thing in our lives, we have Direct control over
that One thing, we All - Equally, in the here & now of actuality
have a chance of changing: for the Better...
Here\'s a Wild notion
how about we start, with stopping the \'Lies\': \'We All\'
tell ourselves?
\'gnothi sauton\'
yeah, they knew this sht two millenniums ago....!
and we\'re still refusing: to utilise it!!!!!!!!!!!
its all so inanely hopeless, and so depressingly deflating...

Goldfinch60 said:

We are led by lies so we need to walk our own path in this world.

Mathematics
Goldfinch60 said:

Good question John. You cannot prove that one plus one equals two, you have to accept it.

Outside The Lines
Seek said:

I am all for living outside the lines and do so my self. Good to run into a kindred spirit. We have been stigmatized by sheeple. And that is the least of my worries. Enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing.

Jungle2
L. B. Mek said:

\'Where the
animals are.
All within.\'
we too readily assume
cos we\'ve learnt to dress and walk upright
we\'ve become civilised..
when in actuality, we - Humanity
is that apex Beast: ferocious enough
to hunt lions, for sport...
(a great write,
in your own unique style, dear poet)

Jungle2
Goldfinch60 said:

That jungle is all around us in so many differing forms John.

Perception2
Goldfinch60 said:

That \'limitless void\' has always been there but we exist as that pebble of reality in our lives.

Tweeners
L. B. Mek said:

\'Tweeners.
Dealing with
the animal
moving
toward the
thoughtful.
Tough passage.
Pushing,
pulling.
Moving
toward with
fits and starts.
Tough passage.\'
(I think its impossible to distil any better, what we\'ll be bequeathing our future generations)
insightful and masterfully succinct! as ever, dear poet

Programmers Brew
L. B. Mek said:

an infinite loop, procedural then?
good old pascal days, lol
yes, it does seem like we\'re in a Metrix that\'s a little, too much:
\'Complexity
begets
complexity!
All
programmed,
coded.
In the
beginning.
Set in
motion.
Evolution.\'
Only, that evolution part gone a bit off script, I think

Programmers Brew
Goldfinch60 said:

I used to be one of the cooks that created that brew when working in computing.

Frequency
L. B. Mek said:

...\'moments, of finite clusters
escapism in all-things cyclical
devoted, to a warped reality
that\'s busily curating, who we be;
creator\'s supreme, of mass devastation
in each step of hopeful, progression
mindset cultivation
to choose better, at every crossroad
and yet
we forget, to keep our eyes open
run roughshod
over every opportunity, while
looking back at antiquity
with judgemental eyes
asking
why: couldn\'t \'They\' be better
do, Better
fulfil the potential, awaiting
in each fingertip
of that poetry, they spew
in every - new, New beginning
they cling onto
so, very: despairingly...!\'
(great write
inspired me to drill and excavate
my own pitiful, attempt
at a continuation, of sorts)
thanks for sharing, dear poet
