Secrets and Lies …
One of the questions I placed on the chalkboard, based upon the books the students are reading, is the following:
What is the difference between a lie and a secret?
It doesn’t have a simple answer, and because of that it generates thinking …
People keep secrets … and this is something that we do for lots of reasons, some are good, some are bad.
People lie – but sometimes the lies are MORE ABOUT acceptance, and not just judging every “less than perfect” person around you.

My favorite PHILOSOPHER …
“Asking me about my favorite MOVIE is a lot like asking me about my favorite PHILOSOPHER … but scratch that … the philosopher problem is easy – Jesus.” – Dr. Freckles
3 Stages of Consciousness …
The three stages of consciousness:
- “Holy CRAP, I’m here.”
- “Fuck, I’m here, and I don’t know enough.”
- “Shit, no one else knows enough EITHER ….” – GRIFTER
MOAR on CURSING …
When I was a kid I had a bicycle.
My sister cried to my parents “let me ride Dan’s bicycle”.
I was angry and I told her “I hope you crash”.
She crashed, and had to be taken to the ER, chipped tooth.
That’s a CURSE. That’s CURSING.
When I was a boy, my “evil sister” was pissing me off …
She was standing on the deck of our second house, being a bitch.
I took the hose and sprayed the hornets nest in the cedar stump.
The hornets went after my yelling, EVIL, sister …
THAT was GAME THEORY.

Well, actually, it would still be Satan that invented it.
(how many animals simply went into the corner of the cage and died?)
Knowing what to leave behind …
“The hardest lesson in life: know what to take with you, know what to leave behind.” – Dr. Freckles
Let us see …
“I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.” – Henry David Thoreau
Super Cities
“Nothing is TOO BIG TO FAIL, and if you live in a supercity you will be super disappointed.” – Dr. Freckles
“Supercity: you share the same gravestone …” – Dr. Freckles
