On Flying Information

Flying information comes from my brother Patrick's nickname for me [one of many] -'Flying information face', inspired by my compulsive nature of wanting to teach him, you know, important information. I do in fact want to be sharing information often but few will listen or engage in such conversation at all. So I suppose that this is my outlet for ideas, philosophy, information etc.

Under my 'information etc.' heading, there should eventually be many articles. I will do my best to provide sources and links to other related web sites. It is my intention to help inform people about issues of social importance as well as speculative and prophetical theories regarding the strange and exciting time that we are presently in. 'Culture and Philosophy' will include documents that I have spent much more time preparing.

Finally, without getting too involved in an epistemological discussion about how we know what we know, and do we really know anything at all if our words are only relative articulations of an experience of the senses?, I want to include this Taoist quote that just about sums that up:

"There is a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is non-being. There is a not yet beginning to be non-being. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be non-being.

Suddenly there is being and non-being. But between this being and non-being, I don't really know which is being and which is non-being. Now I have just said something. But I don't know whether what I have said has really said something or whether it hasn't said something."
