Gospel

197) This experience is hard to relate to others. It is hard to relate because (i) they don't understand, or, (ii) we don't explain it well.

198) We need to come up with a shared vocabulary. Lets talk about value in terms of peanut butter sandwiches, road sodas, thorns in your bike tube. What if you could trade a back scratch for a solved math problem? What value would my desk job carry in that economy? The problem is that we all assign different values to back scratches and new cars and square feet of owned land.

199) We don't even agree that you can even own land. We disagree about whether owning land is desirable. Our ideals oppose one another. We barely coexist.

200) It's difficult to go through life arguing about these ideas. It slows down your work and it prevents things from happening.

201) Thoughts cannot be unthought, things can not be unwritten, actions cannot be undone. Especially since it is all recorded. But, the person writing the program that can decipher this bullshit should be spending his time on something more important, since he is a smart computer programmer, this person.

202) The original thoughts are enjoyed, most often during the runs. Its rare that I am inspired in front of the computer, but it is often that I am inspired during a run.
