Quantum physics or mechanics. Atomic level reality. Interconnectedness. Nothing really exists without the apparatus that defines it. Things aren’t real, no thing is real. (And nothing to get hung about. John Lennon, Strawberry Fields Forever) The nature of reality.
As I ponder some of the revelatory modern thinking coming out of the physics arena I still can’t help but look out my door and see the world. There it is, solid, real, and apparently consistent.
The irony of this is that physically speaking there is no physical, philosophically speaking the is is what you want it to be yet we all agree the sky is blue and the sun is yellow. I dealt with that quandary in the classic Devin Castles favorite Is the sun green? by Off Every Day. Yes, we all perceive differently. Yes, the sun may in fact be green, or are we all color blind?
Here is what I am getting at, if we all create our own reality, yet we are all interconnected, yet we are all individual, yet we all agree on the same reality, yet we all create our own reality, you see where I am going, the dichotomy of that thinking becomes nearly hypocritical and rationalistic. Get on with it. Live life. Ponder later.
I look up, raindrop in my eye.
pondering’s half the fun, negro. i ponder therefore i rock. and roll.
Pondering is the fun, and the torture. Pondering is living life. Just felt like saying “get over it” one time.
Be here now
Interconnectedness? Then by definition Off Every Day and Working Every Day are connected. Wrap your tool belt around that.
Definition? Interconnectedness? Depends on your context. Do you wanna philosophize or literalize? This is a philosophy web site. Being Off Every Day is a state of mind philosophically. So I digressed and simply said, get over it one time and all of you all are all over that. Besides, it”s such a great title, reality vs. reality. Dang. Back to philosophy then. There”s nothing to get hung about.
Just wanted to see if you were paying attention…
