Halfway through a facebook message to a really good friend (who I haven't seen in, way too long) I was endeavouring to describe my purpose in posting this blog and I came up with the above phrase (which I now claim as mine, which belongs to me) and I wrote the following.
The purpose of my Blog is for me to have a vague record of how and what I was thinking (maybe it will survive) as well as having a sounding board (and as you have to edit the words before you release them to the wild) it is improving my lexicon as well as (hopefully) providing a smile here and there.
Having read posts from a year or so back, I find that there is no form or formula (I wonder how those two words are related) and I can also hark back and recognise the stirring or inspiration that prompted comitting words to (need updated version of paper that means online, something like "sapient ether").
So committing my thoughts to the sapient ether is a very Zen thing (if I blog and nobody reads it......).
Again, asking for a definition, is the internet sapient? Well yes it is in the way that if some "fact" is propagated (being either true or false) enough, it becomes a fact in peoples minds, also it is hanging in the limbo that is cyberspace ready to be declared on as many screens and therefore read by as many eyes as will accept it, thus becoming faith not fact, (oooh interesting one, at what point does the internet (which does exist dear reader) become a vehicle of the rantings and wild musings of the theologically belligerent, and thus a vehicle for the pedalling of malevolent versions of what, intrinsically, was meant to be guidelines for desert dwelling folk or a basis of a primitive civilisation (good intentions huh?)?).
The erect penis of the male rabbit flea is over two thirds the entire length of its body!
Statement of fact!
But how true is it and how can you trust your references? I know this fact to be true because I read it in a useless fact book when I was nine or ten (hang on, let me think about this, there is a book of useless facts, how am I about to verify even the existence of this book? And then to verify the accuracy of its contents. the cycle goes on, and we must perpetuate it otherwise we are not being scientific, we are falling into faith).
THIS WILL NOT DO
We are thinking beings, let us stay that way
