Caught in Cartesian dualism are ye? Good luck. You gave the rocks a good
chuckle though, good on you ;o)

Or maybe the sound of one hand clapping?

Or maybe the arrogance of this or that?

Or maybe the frivolity of asking a member of the phyla Annelida
about the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything. What
silliness would your ancestor of 10,000 years ago say? What may you
descendant 10,000 years from now say?

What do the shadows on the cave walls say to you? And who cares?

Euclid said that a dot has no dimensions. Connect two dots with a line
and you have one dimension. Move at a right angle to that line and you
have a plane in two dimensions. Move at a right angle to that plane
and you have a volume in three dimensions. Move at a right angle to tat
solid and you have a ? in four dimensions. Move at a right angle
to the ? and you have a ?? in five dimensions, ad infinitum.

Or as Alan Watts used to say when holding out a round metal trash
can,"What is this"? Then he would turn it over and drum on it and
ask,"What is this"? Then he would sit on it and ask "What is this"?

From the rocks and me, thanks for the giggle;o)

For the life of me I'll never understand why people have this thing
where they spend far more time wasted on useless shit than time spent
on making some useful addition of human value.

I don't know how to spend time taliking in circles, which it seems
you've mastered.
