Subverting the dominant paradigm. Mountaineering, yoga, camping, lifting weights, reading and writing. My dog-Mr.Beebs-cocker spaniel extraordinaire. Understanding the patterns of human thought and behavior and how we justify all the stupid shit that we do every day. Waiting for Singularity.

WHY??? I love this quote though:
"Neither knowable, knowledge, nor knower am I, formless is my form,
I dwell within the senses but they are not my home;
Ever serenely balanced, I am neither
free nor bound-
Consciousness and joy am I,
and Bliss is where I am found."
-Atma Satkam-Song of the Soul
