{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore.

Man's natural instinct is never toward what is sound and true; it is toward what is specious and false.

[def specious -  Presenting a pleasing appearance; pleasing in form or look; showy.]


What a cruel and idiotic world we live in!

My notion is that all the larger human problems are insoluble, and that life is quite meaningless --- a spectacle without purpose of moral. I detest all efforts to read a moral into it.

H.L. Mencken

Hell is oneself;
Hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections.  There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to.  One is always alone.    ~ T.S. Eliot   The Cocktail party

Dada smells of nothing, it is nothing,
nothing, nothing.
It is like your hopes: nothing
like your paradise: nothing
like your idols: nothing
like your politicians: nothing
like your heros: nothing
like your artists: nothing
like your religions: nothing   ~ Francis Picabia, "Dada" Artnews 1921

He belongs to those whose fate it is to live the whole riddle of human destiny heightened to the pitch of a personal torture, a personal hell.  ~  Hermann Hesse Steppenwolf

All interpretations, all psychology, all attempts to make things comprehensible, require the medium of theories, mythologies and lies.


"Should we be mindful of dreams?" Joseph asked.
"Can we interpret them?"
The Master looked into his eyes and said tersely: "We should be mindful of everything, for we can interpret everything."
