well, to change the subject...
i got a letter from my best friend today, who happens to be the most
brilliant person i know...and she came up with this cool theory about
order and chaos...so i'm gonna quote from her letter and see what
happens...
"I was thinking aboutreality. Thinking about chaos and disorder. If
science seems to be making our universe, and in fact our world, more
understandable and orderly, doesn't that mean we could be headed for
chaos? This is due to my reading an article in _Omni_. The more closed
and cause-effect things seem, the more possibilities there might be.
Perhaps (HARE-BRAINED THEORY ALERT!) the appearance of order is just a way
to shut down the faith of the human mind in certain things, to limit the
possibilities. Take the curse, for example. Very few people in
industrialized nations believe in curses anymore, so they don't work. Not
thatthey didn't work to begin with. They did. Who knows how many things
that's happened to? Food for thought. What's really out there that we
aren't allowed to see?"
