unfinished symphony

Knowledge of a manifold unfolding infinitely to be ultimately repeated gains me what? Don’t make the same mistake twice; Don’t make the same mistake twice. I’d like to listen to you Elliot Smith, but you stabbed yourself in the chest. I’m not sure that’s taking your own advice either. And Nick Drake. What’s up with these beautiful geniuses that we all rely on until they disappear? Also, the end of the movie p. Oh, and lets not forget the conclusion of Beatty’s The White Boy Shuffle? Are authors telling us a little wisdom brings a little death?
Black holes are as imaginatively close as our unconsciousness. We know of them, can create actual pictures or pictorials in our minds, but we can prove nothing. Entire lines of thought dedicated to a scientific belief. And science isn’t the new religion? I suppose this is what we all know anyways. How does it feel to have it confirmed? Confirmation originally brought a smile to my face that touched inside the irises. A spherical intuition circulating from my mouth, to my brain, through my belly, and back into my mouth. I blow smoke rings with the feeling.
Welcome to the times. They’re similar to before, but particulars are radically different. Politics are always explosive realities we wear as belts. The players within the game, however, wear different faces. The lineages could easily be the same. It almost seems that eternal truths about life itself are easier to attain than political truths. Ah, but then there are those intellectuals who puncture the very bubble or aristocracy. The revolt. The revolt itself isn’t new, just a circumstantial nuance. Freedom of will navigating towards its destiny through cracks of fate. Room to move, but dictated by the walls of time.
Perhaps meaning itself is outmoded. Evolutionarily unfit. People try to find this meaning thing in life, find there is no “nothing”, and see freedom. Free to terrorize, free for self-condemnation, free to sell their souls to themselves, and free to die. Everyone feels doomed to death, but these very individuals are free to die.
There is another freedom from death. It is that contagious freedom that birthed responsibility. Responsibility carries a negative connotation, but it bestows meaning. Meaning is the same choice as responsibility. Responsibility requires strength.
But what is strength? We know of strength in the physical sense. To be capable of picking up loads, moving objects around, and conquering the physically weaker. “Conquering the physically weaker” here does not refer to war . Reference to war is unnecessary altogether. It refers to a natural definition of strong as found in nature. Responsibility, however, often means a mental load or object. Any natural animal that builds strength tends to survive. When there is a threat towards a species, strongest of the species survive. The physical and natural definition of stronger here is a metaphor for mental strength. Deciding to lift the load of responsibility makes a person stronger, more likely to survive, and therefore equating meaning with life.
A person can deem life meaningless and still choose responsibility. It is difficult to imagine this person being a nihilist. After all, nihilism is the belief in meaninglessness. The nihilist who chooses responsibility unconsciously believes in meaning. There is a meaning attached to avoiding politically negative consequences and accumulation of money. The word “consequence” in itself can be used synonymously with meaning. Whether or not a person believes in meaning or naturally gives meaning they live a life based upon the guidelines of meaning. The person who assumes responsibility towards others and their political state so as to prevent jailing or chaos gives meaning to these acts. Otherwise institutions, laws, and states, within themselves would prove entirely ineffective and obsolete. Their perseverance and strength prove their longevity and lifespan. As said earlier, meaning can be acquainted with life. Whether or not this person believes in meaning or naturally gives meaning they live a life based upon the guidelines of meaning.
There are several ideas in need of elaboration. The first is how can life be self-identical to meaning? The second, what are the guidelines of meaning? In explaining the guidelines to meaning the former question will self-illuminate. Therefore, I will answer the second question and then answer the first.
Guidelines to meaning are not meant as guidelines to how one lives their life. They are not guides to how one ascribes meaning to one’s self as well. These are my axioms for meaning by which I will build an entire geometry.
The word meaning is a more ambiguous word than most. Perhaps the strongest synonym for meaning is the word value. Which objects, either material or cognitive, are those objects that hold, retain, or acquire value ? At times the label value seems subjective, as in the saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. If objects of beauty can be said to retain value, then this phrase is an excellent example of meaning and value’s ambiguity. It seems value is multifarious, however, as value is also ascribed to many things absent of immediate aesthetics. Beauty can be applied to objects of one’s admiration, despite its appearances. The question of beauty, however, is not the topic of our immediate scrutiny. It is, however, implicitly dealt with in expounding meaning. The above quote is mentioned merely as an example of the ambiguity and seemingly subjective face of meaning and value.
The ancient and oppressive dichotomy of subjectivity and objectivity must be dealt differently now. Instead of dichotomy, perhaps it is helpful to think of symmetry. In eastern philosophy, quantum physics, mathematics, aesthetics, and all general sciences the role of symmetry is present.
