But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. they laughed at columbus, they laughed at fulton, they laughed at the wright brothers. but they also laughed at bozo the clown.
Funny Brother Laughter
Loki," i said. "hey, princess." he smiled dazedly as he looked up at me. "what's wrong?" "nothing." i smiled and shook my head. "not anymore." "what's this?" he took my hair and held it out so i could see. a curl near the front had gone completely silver. "i take a nap, and you go gray?" "you didn't take a nap." i laughed. "don't you remember what happened?" he furrowed his brow, trying to remember, and understanding flashed in his eyes. "i remember..." loki touched my face. "i remember that i love you." i bent down, kissing him full on the mouth, and he held me to him.

Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. but they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. science is all metaphor. in the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. you perform it. if aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. if you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
Philosophy Moving Games
But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

One can imagine that god created the universe at literally any time in the past. on the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. one could imagine that god created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. an expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!

I could have just said i'm good at my job, but i didn't. didn't want the police thinking i was holding out information when i wasn't. "i've got one advantage over a normal homicide detective, i expect it to be a monster. no one ever calls me in if it's just a stabbing, or a hit-and-run. i don't spend a lot of time trying to come up with nice, normal explanations. it means i get to ignore a lot of theories.

In our performance reviews with women, we need to be saying, "are you reaching enough? are you applying for jobs when you meet some of the criteria like men, or are you waiting to meet all the criteria like women do?" there's so much we can do to encourage women to take on more and believe in themselves.
