A river does not force its way to the sea.

It does not worry about the rocks in its path.

It does not stop flowing
because the terrain gets difficult.

It simply moves.
It finds the path of least resistance,
and follows it.

Not because it is lazy.
But because it trusts the landscape to guide it.

Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,

On the empty sky.

The world is, no matter how we think it ought to be. You have to be with it. You have to let it be.

It is no secret. All power is one in source and end, I think. Years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. "There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. "If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice! "Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

Wishing them luck; this would be remarkable.

I beg people to engage in more both/and thinking. So much conflictual discourse is driven by faulty either/or reasoning, and it’s tiresome.

This is important; though does surprisingly little to address how to manage the inequalities inherited from AI and NI thinking today, and how this intelligence would establish a value system or principles (incl how to adjust once values are tested)
