I liked that. Yes, infinite paths all with their own realities. A person who likes blue is neither better or worse than a person who likes green; and I applaud all the psychological creations the kids are inventing as they explore the interior of their minds in a way they never have had a chance to do in the past. They have the animal mind to explore with all its instincts and drives and pleasures and pain and they have the creative existential mine to develop and build on. As long as they are positive in one way or another I love watching the human species creatively flowering. That is where it gets dicey. Humanity is the one constant that I obey as much as I possibly can and is always the point that I focus on. The millennial guys are going to have a lot more fun with the females than we did because these females are self-actualized, but modern sex as both males and females get in touch with their animal side in a clean and healthy way is going to manifest itself, I am guessing, that is going to startle some of the older folks-lol. I took a simple path. I simply studied stuff to see what it was about. Everybody studies different things and enjoys different things thank God. We wouldn't have any doctors or car mechanics otherwise and I really need both and have no interest whatsoever in either one of those fields. But it gets complicated when you bring in venal behavior because it is so relative on the one hand and yet sort of a constant on the other. Venal behavior is really tricky to figure out. I think that's where most of us get lost. We know we can't use the old dogmatic formula put forth by most established religions. Ethics is ethereal and complicated and very relative, even while it appears as a constant sort of like the particle, wave duality?-lol So I took a simple approach, someone once said the sophistication with which you solve a hypothesis is dependent upon how many variables you can hold in consideration at any given time. So I sort of collect variables that help with the relative nature and problem of ethics and morality. But ethics, morality and happiness are what I like to see in people. And I think all the time what are the best sorts of societies to provide that and what would the content be? All I want to see is happy people and a minimum amount of misery.
