The foot is healing slowly, Holden. I have had to adjust my mind to the brute fact limitations faced by this current organism-as-a-whole-in-environments. Korzybki's theories are making themselves felt strongly in my lived experience; that is, that Mike_subscript_yesterday DOES NOT EQUAL Mike_subscript_today.
Also, a couple aphorisms from
The Dark Side are ringing loud and clear for me, such as:
The state of man: inconstancy, weariness, unrest. One hour of pain is a better teacher than all the philosophers put together. ~ Pascal
