#Big questions

the question of our times

[pratchettquotes]

The ability to ask questions like, "Where am I and who is the 'I' that is asking?" is one of the things that distinguishes mankind from, say, cuttlefish.*

*Although of course it's not the most obvious thing and there are, in fact, some beguiling similarities, particularly the tendency to try to hide behind a big cloud of ink in difficult situations.

Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

"wisdom of the crowd" (apocryphal)

vs.

"The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it." (Terry Pratchett, Jingo)

I love when kids cartoons have westerns in them and they have to find a way around the fact that they can’t have a shoot out/guns. You get some really funny stuff like a Backyardigans episode where the western showdown is a high-stakes ping-pong game, or a Veggietales western (that is also a Bible story) where Larry the Cucumber kills a man with a dodgeball. And also whatever the hell this is

Give more cartoon characters gun-workarounds it’s so funny

Give him a gun substitute

“What distinguishes orthodoxy from heresy, the central river from the delta, is a commitment to mystery and paradox. Mysteries abide at the heart of every religious faith, but the Christian tradition is uniquely comfortable preaching dogmas that can seem like riddles, offering answers that swiftly lead to further questions, and confronting believers with the possibility that the truth about God passes all our understanding.”

Ross Douthat, “Bad Religion”

More Gretson thoughts that are just whirling around in my head AND I NEED TO GET THEM OUT! 😆

Anyways I'm wondering when is it obvious that Greta and Carson are in love? For themselves I mean when do they individually realize, this is not a crush, fling or a baby gay moment (not that Carson would describe it like that but you know, I think you fruits know what I mean).

I think as an outsider looking in (aka Joey or the audience) it is clear very quickly that this is different. That this might be something real because of the risks Greta is taking.

And I want to be fair to Greta yes she sucks at hiding her feelings for someone that has been doing it for most her life. But what Greta has been hiding are attractions and flings not actual real deal love. I was reminded by a friend I myself was once in a similar position and it IS EFFING HARD to hide the fact you're falling someone so hard and they feel the same. I would even dare to say almost impossible. There is something that automatically pulls you towards that person wether you try to actively stop it or not. Your eyes, your movements you just naturally gravitate towards that person, it happens uncontrollable.

So that being said when did they themselves knew. I think Greta let's herself realize after she picks the fight in the car. I think she knew before but was just enjoying the feeling and simultaneously pushing it down until Joey was like "you are being the same with Carson as with Dana, watch yourself".

But Carson is just a big question mark for me. I cannot figure out when she knew, what she has with Greta is the real deal. That moment she runs after Greta to "go get a thiiiing", maybe? But I don't think it's then, it seems to late 🤔. The kitchen conversation the day before Greta leaves for New York? Or when they had the fight the morning after the police raided the bar?

I dont know man 🤷🏼‍♀️

brb just thinking about how in the 1997 animated television series Mummies Alive! one of the mummies controlled snakes and a villain was like “well that sucks because we’re in a city and there are no snakes here” but then he was like “that’s what you thought bitch!” and was able to control all the pipes and wires in the ground which implies that pipes and wires are, at least in a magical sense, snakes and the implications of that are never expanded upon.

Power

An elixir of change

The bane of our lives

Before it the pieces rearrange

Its mystery, deeper than the hieroglyphs

From philosophers to astronomers

From gardeners to emperors

From elders to youngsters

All united by a silhouette

So unique yet so widespread

Is it a Light of hope, or a hidden threat?

A divine miracle , or an eternal debt?

Once set upon the mind

It makes all that it touches blind

It’s hunger never ending

Its hunt unwavering

Its rampage uncontrollable

Its yearning eternal

Growing, expanding, over all it towers

All that is good and pure it greedily devours

A Treasure of the gods?

Veils woven from within

Twisted in whirling knots

Is this how it’s always been?

Its almighty strenght

Like Moises it cuts Deep

Makes all bow at its knee

And those below it weep

A sword so great

Not many can withstand its weight

Or wield it without faith

Shatterer of the Iron gate

They came from far and wide

To wield it all have tried

But instead they’re tied

And at its stone all died

A beast, a monster

Hate and jealousy foster

Taming it is a quest

A true character’s test

But What is this beast

This tall Crystal tower

For which our souls is it feast

That my friends is........simply power
