Science and Mathing Out How it can Be that Eternity is One Long Day

The names and actors change but the songs and stories remain the same. For some, the Big Event might be a Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson basketball clinic, the greatest tennis, or golf shoot-out, or top chef cook-off.

Each of our various and varied metavalent interests can sometimes change over time, but the passion in the subject matter, the art, science, and craft remains the same.

For me, on this Longest Day of the year, it was the Observers Like Us Big Event hosted by Curt Jaimungal of Theories of Everything.

Okay, maybe Jaimungal comparing notes with Lawerence Kuhn of Closer to Truth co-moderated by Lex and Joe might compete; but in our world, the competition isn’t a competition, it’s always ever only making one another better. Iron sharpening iron, conscientiousness clarifying consciousness. Sure, it can get gnarly and knotty at times, but never hateful, hurtful, or violent. Ever. That’s what you don’t get about Jordan, and maybe what you just don’t want to get. Maybe because you hate the imppeccable resolve to relentless self-honesty, because the one thing you must never do is be un-boundedly honest with yourself. That would expose everything. Compartmentalization is your internal, psychological Winchester Mystery Mansion, designed to keep those pesky, haunting, fleeting thoughts of conscience off the trail and off your tail at all costs. I mean, if it isn’t it isn’t; but if it is, it is. Isn’t it?

So, seems like maybe that’s what makes us sooo different from you. Maybe always has, maybe always will. Maybe that’s what you find so terrifying. Isn’t it?

I mean not you, personally, but the hypothetical third-person you, right? Even you can detect that that’s a lie, right? Right? God I hope so. For your sake.
