More From Thomas Hardy

There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. patterns hidden by patterns. patterns within patterns. if you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. what we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. what we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. what we can't read we call gibberish. there is no free will. there are no variables.

There are only patterns. patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns, patterns hidden by patterns, patterns within patterns.
Patterns
Mental patterns do not originate out of inorganic nature. they originate out of society, which originates out of inorganic nature. and, as anthropologists know so well, what a mind thinks is as dominated by biological patterns as social patterns are dominated by biological patterns and as biological patterns are dominated by inorganic patterns. there is no direct scientific connection between mind and matter. as the atomic scientist, niels bohr, said, "we are suspended in language." our intellectual description of nature is always culturally derived.

We're headed for what is called type 1 civilization, planetary civilization. type 2 would be stellar civilization, like star trek. type 3 civilization would be galactic, like star wars. we are type 0. we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. but the question is: will we make it? will we make the transition from type 0 to type 1? it's not clear.

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.
Self Relation Relate
We humans have had from time unknown the compulsion to name things and thus to be able to deal with them. the name we give to something shapes our attitude toward it. and in ancient thought the name itself has power, so that to know someone's name is to have a certain power over him. and in some societies, as you know, there was a public name and a real or secret name, which would not be revealed to others.

Philosophy appears to some people as a homogenous milieu: there thoughts are born and die, there systems are built, and there, in turn, they collapse. others take philosophy for a specific attitude which we can freely adopt at will. still others see it as a determined segment of culture. in our view philosophy does not exist.
