Eric Lee's 1,742 Hours
Tucson, AZ, USA
Reporter, A-SOCIATED PRESS
Abstract: I commited to spending 1,742 hours in public to assess responce to signage featuring "Sustainability 101" as main message. The raw data is below.
TUCSON (A-P) — The year(s) of 'protesting' and 'informing' is also a social experiment to assess public interest in sustainability issues. The protocol is to be in public, as a citizen with a sign, and to assess observable changes in behavior. The signage includes large print 50 cm (20") wide, readable from 30 m (100') away, as well as small print which a walking passerby has to pause (readily observed) for a few seconds to read.. The main text, 'Sustainability 101', the subtitle of Al Bartlett's video, had to be short to be readable at a distance. The '101' was to suggest there's more to know about the current buzzword 'sustainability'. From 15 m (50') away the secondary message can be read: 'Read Demystifying Sustainability' which is the book the signage/protest is ultimately intended to get people to read.
A URL link is provided and the number of people using it, as well as following links of related material, can be measured as can the number who pause to read sign details, take a tab with URL, or talk to the citizen 'protester' about 'sustainability'. For details and results: Assessing Public Response to Sustainability 101 Signage: A citizen science project. Of personal interest: does anyone else in the Tucson area (about 1 million) share my concerns? Inquiring minds (and social primates) want to know.
Notes: Only public travel by bus, bike, or walking with signage displayed is included in protest hours (I don't drive/have a car). Trip distance is round trip—economy bus fare in Tucson is $0.65 each way instead of regular $1.75. Tabs are the only consumable given out to those not able to write URL down, cost $0.0022 each. UofA is University of Arizona and w/b or b/w is 'walk/bus' as in walk one way, bus the other. In winter, take bus when cold then walk back, in summer walk when cool, take bus back in heat of the day. Other than $ cost of transportation and consumables, energy costs considered but not measured. If bus stops only for you, increased diesel usage is measurable while increased energy used related to your weight may not be. Physical activity of walking/biking, up to a point, is a need, a benefit, and not considered a 'cost'. Handouts become waste, minimized by giving out only small tabs with URL info leading to more digital info. Consider bicycle/bus/body wear, calories burned, materials/energy embodied in protest equipment.... To live is to consume, but there is nothing desirable in consumption per se. Enough is enough.
Initial investment in items used during protest (chair, table, signage, solar cookers, solar chargers, umbrella, backpack, small portable cart) prorated over 346 days of protest, adds $1/day, so $1/day is baseline cost plus transportation and misc. costs but not including food, etc. not incurred by 'protesting'/'informing public'.
My public teaching is entirely Socratic, I don't tell people what to think or believe much less what is 'true', just point to questionable but likely sound information and raise questions (share concerns). I attribute specific ideas/policies/proposals to the Ecolate Party of which I am not a member, so I never defend the Party Platform as offered for consideration. Questioning why the Ecolate Party would propose a thought bite may allow information to be mentioned for the looking into.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2/14 | 5.2 | walk | 2 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 1 | El Pueblo Library | 2/7 Mostly ignored. Finished reading Half Earth by E.O. Wilson. Person taking a tab said he had a sixth grade education but had read 300 books while doing time. |
| 2 | 2/15 | 5.7 | bus | 9 | $2.30 | $0.00 | 0 | Main Library | 1/6 More people, less interest. Area in front paved in brick, about 90,000 covering 20,000 sq. ft., and two 3/4" plants growing in cracks between bricks. One dicot, one monocot; neither will flower, but they seek to live as I seek to inform. I may have more in common with them than the busy people even though I am not stepped on.. |
| 3 | 2/16 | 5.9 | bike | 14 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Sentinel Peak | 0/5 Overview city park to look upon Tucson. |
| 4 | 2/17 | 5.1 | bus | 9 | $2.30 | $0.00 | 0 | Main Library | 0/5 Found two more plants between bricks. |
| 5 | 2/18 | 8.1 | bus | 9 | $2.30 | $0.00 | 0 | Main Library | 0/3 Intermittent rain. |
| 6 | 2/19 | 3.5 | walk | 2 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 1 | Laos transit center | 1/5 New, larger sign. Walking along 6th Ave., called to by person wanting to talk, multiple questions. First actual interest/conversation. It's not about where, it's being out there. |
| 7 | 2/20 | 5.9 | walk | 10 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 1 | Downtown | 3/5 No rain. Walking and towing cart less stress than backpack. On low traffic street, person turning into residential area as I was about to cross, stopped, wanted to read sign, asked questions, took tab, first person likely to go to URL, so it's about 'being there' as Chancy Gardener found out.. |
| 8 | 2/21 | 7.4 | walk | 7 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 1 | Santa Rosa Library | 2/3 Second person likely to go to URL came out of library, but target market is anyone asking 'What's sustainability?' to one who reads book, so can't fail. |
| 9 | 2/22 | 6.4 | walk | 9 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 1 | Sam Lena Library | 2/2 Another tab taker likely to visit page. |
| 10 | 2/23 | 6.1 | walk | 7 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Rodeo route | 0/0 Walked route an hour before and after parade, thousands of people in place. Some children looked at hominid/baby pictures. |

One who read signage, took tab, is out of state academic/scientist type (lectures on climate science), no questions, perhaps as what I'm doing and why is evident, I'd guess he knows of Bartlett and Ehrlichs whose recommendation is enough. Did state his approval of what I'm doing. Said if his library didn't have a copy, he'd deal with it suggesting of a position of influence. Only 19 days of 'protest' to potentially make a difference. |

| 26 | 3/11 | 5.6 | bike | 14 | $1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Sentinel Peak | 1/3 First person to pick up Demystifying Sustainability; read a few paragraphs picked at random. She's a reader and talks about how 'it's all about the money' and mentions powering a household on a cup of water apparently via 'free energy' devices being suppressed. Other facts are also suppressed. I just let her talk. On leaving she adds that she's a 'big radio person' who stays up all night listening to Coast to Coast AM (post-truth source since before internet), which explained everything. Could be worse, she could get all her 'information' from social media. |

23/80 Several 'maybes' to read book, so odds are one person read Demistifying Sustainability. Two ecolate 'maybes' so count one for 'ecolate concerns'. Walked 24 of 30 days, 5.1 mi/day average on days walking all or part of way. |
30 day note: Two people spoke who, having read sign only, understood what I was doing and why. My concerns were evident suggesting they were aware of and had considered such concerns even if they did not share them. One lectured on the science of climate change, so likely an academic, scientist, or both. The other was a man sitting near, said something I didn't quite hear other than the word 'sustainability', so I walked over closer. I asked if he had a question about 'sustainability' and he mentioned that he knew what sustainability meant, paused, and added that being homeless didn't mean he isn't smart. Point taken.
He just wanted to mention that while he supposed he had 'given up' on people, it was good to see someone 'step up to the plate', even if it just meant being in public with a sign. Too few are willing to do anything and that mere talk wasn't 'stepping up to the plate'. I had a clear impression he was thinking he should do something. I mentioned the subtitle of Washington's book was 'Towards real solutions' and that, yes, too few were up to considering 'real solutions'. He asked what, in my opinion, would be an example of a 'real solution'. I tried to think of an example of something humans could do that would actually make a difference and mentioned ending all fossil fuel use in five years. He considered that for a moment and disagreed. It was too late, we should have done that a long time ago. I suggested 1960s maybe, and he agreed. While ending fossil fuel use in five years would help mitigate harm yet to be done, it would be more like 'too little too late' than a 'real solution', so his assessment is actually the same as my own as previously stated.
He had worked as a miner, coal and minerals, West Virginia and Arizona, mentioned, to his dismay, the practice of mountain top removal to get at the coal. That the mining, the resource extraction, was unsustainable had always been obvious to him. He wanted to change the SYSTEM, but no one wanted to 'step up to the plate' and he lamented that he too had not, but had given up. The original Earth First! members had wanted to step up to the plate too, and had for a time, but I mentioned that only maybe 1 in 100,000 were willing to question, much less oppose the SYSTEM, and he added, 'if that many'.
With such odds, it is understandable that too few will do more than talk about 'sustainability' and anyone who actually posed a threat would be easily brushed aside like a gnat, swatted like a mosquito or end up in prison for life. He acknowledged that would explain why too few were willing to 'step up to the plate'. I didn't see his having 'given up' as reprehensible, but as understandable, and so he nor I should think him a 'failure' and I think I helped by sharing that view. No one wearing a suit ever paused. The most admirable human I met was a homeless guy whom I cannot view as a 'failure'.
We didn't talk more than ten minutes, I could be wrong, but based on what was said, I will count him among the 'ecolate'. While he had, as we all have, served the SYSTEM, he had not been fooled into thinking it was all for the greater good (maybe just the greater greed). Now living on the streets, he did not serve the SYSTEM at all and so was free to see the obvious, to look and listen without illusions. Those who serve the SYSTEM, no matter how 'smart', can't see what is in front of their faces. Even if a Bartlett carefully explains the exponential function (or whatever that does not support their illimitable prosperity/growth narrative), those who would SERVE cannot understand the implications as to do so would lead to cognitive dissonance if not overt opposition (or homeless secondary to refusal to serve the SYSTEM or to serving six life-terms...).

Overview of Tucson: 'the spectral city incandescently glows' all night, and traffic on I-10 at 'crack of' dawn still heavy, so 24/7. Just takes energy. A hundred years ago the view would have been very different. And a hundred years from now? |

Local 'character' listening informed us we were both crazy, wanted to know if we believed in God, and revieled he was God. I couldn't get a word in for five minutes and finally after God left I said, 'The important question is do you believe in Howard T. Odum?' He had heard of Eugene, 'Howard' sounded familiar, I missed my chance to say 'Howard, like Mycroft, was Eugene's smarter brother'. |

11/35 One 'maybe' to read Demistifying Sustainability. No ecolate 'maybes'. Walked 25 of 30 days, 6.7 mi/day average. |
60 day note:Weather not hot yet, so walking more (7.3 mi/day walked) because I can secondary to reduced activity intolerance. When walking, more may see signage but less chance to interact. First two months spent mostly as 'man about town'. May spend more time on community college campuses for comparison. One science student stated 'sustainability' was colonizing Mars and I merely added, 'And then what?' Well, there are billions of other planets out there.... I mostly encouraged him to express his vision as it seemed just the current one of someone who thinks about things, and therefore subject to change with new information. I gave him more to think about. I tried to out techno-optimist him with visions of my Dyson sphere providing habitat for 30 billion billion humans, and of Earth, Moon, Mars as recreational areas for ultra elites. He envisions Earth, even with just one four billionth the population, remaining the cultural and political center of the solar system. Yes, the Emperor, elected or otherwise, would likely live on Earth. Maybe the Big Island of Hawaii would serve as her place grounds. Intelligent conversation doesn't involve arguing/asserting, but mutual informing. I learn why Clydesdale horses were developed and will consider his suggestion that empires fail mainly secondary to internal socio-political failures/instability. I was able to end on the question of what happens when the Dyson sphere is finished, when all material resources in the solar system are used up, and all energy from Sol is harvested for human use? Time is always limiting so I never got around to asking about emergy or energy principles and whether the rise and fall of empires might have something to do with energy.

15/23 No indication anyone may read book. Walked 26 of 30 days, 6 mi/day average. |
90 day note: More time on community college campuses and a couple days at UofA; high foot traffic but little relative notice/interest. I wondered what the homeless in the small park in front of main library did as signs said park closed at 10:30 PM. I asked one person, they said they didn't want to talk to me. To actually know I could come back and did with a couple of blankets. The sidewalk is wide and public, so apparently walking, standing, sitting, laying down, or sleeping on sidewalk on edge of park (waiting for it to reopen?) is not 'lottering' as would be in front of private property. Over two dozen campers, including a group of women, take to the sidewalk. I went to another small park and three people were sleeping on sidewalk. Seemed safe though too much activity to sleep well. Some yelling at one point and police showed up soon to protect and serve. Could be worse. Occupying isolated areas could be more dangerous. Vets have their own camp on private property a couple miles from downtown with a number of large, maybe 20' x 60' army tents.

7/14 No one likely to read book or even go to URL to read about book/topic of sustainability. Only doing 3 3/4 hours/day, far less time than Americans spend watching TV, so I'm slacking off. Being neither a mad dog nor an Englishman, I don't go out in the noonday sun in June.. |
120 day note: Getting hot, going to fewer areas that I haven't been to, so have been seen before by more. Novelty wears off as expected. May have to go to Montana.

12/15 Although everyone at conference was 'ecolate' so far as I could tell, I didn't display signage. As a novelty in Polson, MT some initial interest, but most common responce was to ask what 'sustainability' meant. |
150 day note: Fifth month with interruptions where for days (at conference) or weeks (family matters), I did not protest. For over four months daily 'protesting' was doable, as for months on end many manage to watch TV daily or be misinformed on social media. The walk around Flathead Lake tested the travois design which enabled me to transport about 80-90 lbs of stuff and go 90 miles in 11 days of walking with layovers at age 63. Even in my youth I would not have been able to carry half the weigh as far without serious distress. About three-quarters of the way around I was pulling travois in loose material up a steep slope and did soft tissue damage to hips. I was able to continue by padding the belt and holding the handle to pull it with arms when going uphill. Going downhill I put travois in front and let it pull me down the hill. Someday it will be possible to make the round trip without over-powered vehicles on the road. I'll be too old or dead, but maybe someone will think of me when they do, or not as it won't matter. We technoindustrial humans are so backward that we are not only impressed by digital watches, but still think cars, the main cause of death for those between age 3 and 34 (in industrial society so Kogi not at risk), are a NEED and not a manufactured want. Those who whizzed past in a roar and a whoosh, out of the cradle endlessly rolling..., how's that end game thing working out for you?
Discussion of interest in Polson: Man complained he was sick of hearing about 'sustainability', that the subject was being over discussed. He is the first hu-man to complain of hearing too much about 'sustainability'. I was impressed. He wanted to know if I had heard that 'sustainability' was a ploy of the New World Order overlords to justify controlling the population? I acknowledged I had heard as much. He also spoke on chemtrails and mentioned that the earth could easily support 30 billion hu-mans, so nothing to worry about other than the lies being spread among those who don't know where on social media to go to be informed of the truth of interest to those who would deign to educate themselves. From his diction and easy eloquence, I'm sure he was university educated. I didn't bother to annoy him with alternative information that would merely seem disconfirming as I would obviously have been disinformed by my reptoid overlords. I never argue matters of taste and those who would rather believe have a supreme disinterest in alleged 'facts'. I mentioned, that based on my experience (see above) that maybe 1% of Americans have some slight interest in 'sustainability' and most knew nothing of 'sustainability issues', or even that there are any. He seemed momentarily nonplussed by this info before dismissing my claim. Among those he knew or knew of, all his friends (I didn't ask if he had any in Polson) had beaten the subject to death which is why he was tired of hearing about it. So I had no information to offer of interest, to Like or Share.

On campus, during a 28 minute period, 397 students/faculty passed me by, and 56% were 'festooned with technology', i.e. had 'smart' phones in hand or earbuds hanging from their aduitory canals plugged into one. The other 44%, in passing, may have been plugged into the attention economy as they thought about recent media-as-message or were feeling compelled to look at their smartphone (several were pulling out their smartphone as they passed). The number of plugged-in is a low figure as I surely failed to notice all, especially those with black earbud wires hanging whose device was in their pack or pocket, and some were waiting for it to vibrate in their pocket. So 800 per hour, 60% plugged in (reasonable guess) and two looked at my signs before passing on to their better world. |

$1.65 | $0.00 | 1 | Downtown | 2/2 Earth Day events today. The two who read sign and spoke of it were waiting at bus stops as I walked back. One asked me to read the sign as she couldn't quite. She asked about the 'monkey' and I mention it represents an anscestor, which implies evolution which the Bible narrative she had been told of did not allow, but she said she was 'smart' and 'open minded'. She stated there was no proof of evolution. I inferred she was using the word as a mathematitian would, and agreed as all claims in science are subject to doubt. I agreed she was 'smart' and mentioned she was in the 1% per my experience, one of the few would would read the sign, who would rather know than believe. I did not agree she was educated, but she knew that, ergo she is smart. The other had to go but assured me she would google the Kogi and Ecolate Party. I consider her smart too. |

$1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Las Vegas | 0/0 Went to CSICON to "protest" but casino doesn't allow informing marks and conference refused my presence with a sign. I had registered for one workshop on skeptical activism ($49), but not the lectures, presentations, or panel discussions. My wife did register for main events and insisted I join her for meals and the Halloween Pajama Party, so I bought a general meal pass too. On arrival I leaned that my plan to protest, if only by walking the Las Vegas Strip during presentations other than the one workshop, was not allowed, so I bought a general admission for $300 more. After the workshop I walked the Strip. Street walkers got some attention, but I got none. |

$1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Las Vegas | 0/0 Pedestrians on Strip numerous. In addition to the 'Sustainability 101' poster, I debuted my 'They Live' poster in Vegas. I've concluded that 'We Sleep', and that I sleep all the time. When not dreaming I'm asleep, I have lucid dreams I'm awake. Why should I be different? Poe got it right, everything we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. Yesterday I listened to Steven Pinker, Ecomoderist & Antropocene enthusiast extrodinare, one of many, promote his new book, Enlightenment Now. Some skeptics were skeptical, but he's got what servants of the SYSTEM want [to hear]. |
| 0189 | 10/20 | 2.1 | walk | 5 |
$1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Las Vegas | 0/0 Many pedestrians on the Strip. Carried the usual 'Sustainability 101' sign and new 'They Live' sign. Clearly I sleep, we sleep, but I sleep all the time. The period between 'waking' and 'falling asleep' is a lucid dream, so fragile is our grasp of 'reality'. As Poe suspected, all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. This is a more truthful narrative than 'I woke up this morning...', because nothing of the sort happened, which is why we tell different stories. |

Bernie Sanders was on campus as were other protesters. Conjecture: most people who look at signage want to know if they like or dislike the content. A competing sign is vastly more popular: IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE: My version, without the yelling: In this house, we'd rather know than believe: I'm an unkind freak who doesn't think in terms of like and dislike. |

$1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Coos Bay | 2/6 Months go by. Moving to Oregon has been a distraction. Having written recently about Earth Day I was aware it was today. There is one event at a local movie theater: Beavers, Brews, and Forests, Too: Earth Day Beer and Movie Night, and I didn't go. I never celebrate Earth Day as the idea of giving Earth a day, when everyday is Earth day, is absurd. Only political animals would do feel-good things to celebrate Earth Day. So I went for a long walk. Traffic on the Cape Arago Hwy was normal and in 10 minutes 135 vehicles passed me by. Elsewhere, in town and Hwy 101, there was more traffic, so over 800 motorists with 0 or more passengers whizzed past per hour, or about 5,000 total in an area with a population of 26,000 living in a Car Culture. Even allowing for being passed by the same car, up to 20 percent of the population was driving within a six hour period when almost all could be walking. A few honked their horns. One stopped to ask for directions and incidentally read the They Live We Sleep sign, to be the first to connect it to theThey Live movie. The first two pedestrians to read a sign were homeless and on their way to the Devereux Center, an open-door center that helps people meet their basic needs, including food, with a focus on those with mental health issues. So several months ago I became a client, had one free meal, volunteered to serve, but have not yet been called upon, so not one to take something for nothing, I haven't been back. |

$1.00 | $0.00 | 0 | Coos Bay | 2/6 Loop to Coos Bay Boardwalk. Likely seen by 4-5 thousand cars, Interaction only with walkers. Added a sign on pole between backpack straps and into back pocket that reads 'I Protest Unsustainable Denial' on both sides. Any sign with 'I Protest....' is equivalent to 'I don't believe in....' but with a poltical spin. So if my sign said, 'I Protest Hetero Sex between Consenting Adults' it would be equivalent, having no information content of interest or value. Would it be more or less politically correct? I don't know. |

Maybe he wanted to read the signs. If he he had, perhaps 'the Solution' would have been obvious to him and humanity and the biosphere would have been saved. But I didn't cross the road, too chicken, and the world.... |

210 day note: Day at Tucson Peace Fair, a political event. I made a list of those attending, most having paid for a 10'x10' space. The list may be of historical interest: Unscrewed Theater, vote for Yaba, Peace Paz, Jobs with Justice, Global Art Project for Peace, The Sound of Freedom (Quiet Tucson Skies anti-military jet planes), Tucson Folk Festival, Recycled Gifts, Green Party of Pima County, Southern Arizona BPS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), YMCA, Humanitarian Aid is Never a Crime (border migrant aid), PDA Progressive Democrats of Arizona, Tucson Samaritans (Catholic), vote for Andres Cone, vote for Grisalva, vote for Betty Villepps, vote for Adam Regan, Sierra Club, Aberrant Ceramics, Aikido Kids, Watershed Management Group, Shot in the Dark Cafe, vote for Powers Hannnley, Obamacare, Sustainable Tucson, Veterans for Peace, Culture of Peace Alliance, Climate Smart Southwest, Unitarian Universalist Church, Salt of the Earth Labor College, Communist Party, Tucson Organic Gardeners, Death Penalty Alternatives, vote for Matiella, Shop Farmer's Markets, Animal Rights (no rodeo, animal free circuses...), Tucson Peace Center, Kochopus, Op1000 Paper Cranes, Tucson Ukulele Flash Mob, Area Wiccan-Pegan TAWN, Bridges Across Borders, Prescott College, Southern Arizona Total Awareness Network, Common Ground Mentoring, Seri, SMART Secure Guns, La Coalicion de Derechos Humanes, Desert Sky Community School, Indivisible Arizona, Face Painting, Mums Demand Action for Gun Sense, Tucson Psychedelic Society, Dope Sack for Cannabis, Tucson 9/11 Truth Action Project, Waffles T. Clown, Healthy Foods No GMO, vote Mark Manoil, Ayotzianpa, Anti Nuke, Rethink 911.org, Harmony and Health Foundation, NO in the Name of Humanity, Safer Arizona legalize Cannabis 2018, Veterans United for Cannabis, Hempirin, Revolutionary Grounds Books and Coffee, Tucson Quilt Project, vote Fehcia Chew, Pan Left Productions, Stop Spraying Tucson (anti-chemtrails). I came up with a cause I could support: 80% in 80 yrs.
The most remarkable encounter was with the young woman at the bus stop. She was expressive, in effect thinking out loud, so I could assess her. She was in the 1% of 'smart', but exceptionally uneducated for whatever reason. On the opposite extreme are the over-educated, e.g. most university professors, virtual idiot savant wordsmiths, the remarkably adroit (clever apes) who haven't the slightest sense of being delusional prattlers, i.e. 'dumb' (most are ignorant of their ignorance within their specialty and virtually all outside their specialty think they know enough to have opinions). And, yes, it takes one to know one, meaning I, being far more mediocre, am an idiot sub-savant.

Earth Day 2019: Wearing signs invites contact. I was stopped crossing a street by a young man going the other way, "a soul in agony" that I mostly listened to, after stepping over to a corner, for not quite an hour. He was the ancient mariner to my wedding guest, so I could but listen "like a three years' child" to his anguished laments. He didn't want money, or recognition, or approval, or drugs, or stuff or entertainment from life. All that he wanted, that he had been remorselessly denied, boiled down to wanting to be normal. He didn't want to smoke cigarettes, couldn't stop, and so kept on keeping on doing what he knew was bad for him, doing what was not normal for a healthy and sane human. The rest of his life was the same, and also not clearly of his making. He wanted to be at peace, but was driven to rage and despair. He wanted to live but had recently walked out onto the highway to stand see if God would answer his prayer. He couldn't understand why those who celebrated being bad seemingly had all they wanted, were seemingly blessed, while he, who wanted to be a good husband and a father, to be a giver to community and family, could have nothing he felt to be natural and normal. Why had he come to love a woman married to an abusive husband, who raped her and eventually killed her, yet why was he in the wrong, per the Book and those who preach it, and why would she have none of him, of his longing, of his sinful love? Why was her marriage blessed and why was he told he was wrong to covet one who was his brother's (in Christ) wife? Wrong, wrong, wrong, yet why did it feel so right to "covet" her? Why did God tell her to remain true to her lawful husband and forsake all others? Why was it wrong for him to want to be what she could not have or hold? And he was surrounded by good people doing bad things. Even his dog treated him like a dog to make him feel less than human. He couldn't understand all the horrors being perpetrated in this world by people who thought themselves better than he was. If he were E.A. Poe, he might have said, "And much of madness, more of sin, and horror the soul of the plot." In his list of wrongs humans were doing he may have said "I don't know why" a dozen or more times. And I don't either. He was "in agony" in this veil of tears, (aka this Earth that is heaven), but not in denial. There is his predicament, my predicament, and the human predicament. Humans of NIMH all, living the koyaanisqatsi life. I could but say I was glad to know there was such people as he in this world.
Before meeting him I was wondering if the relation between driving and insanity was one of correlation or causation. I don't know. But to go through life in a metal and glass box, or living/working in the same, moving too fast to see the nature of things when one could walk and just be there, is madness squared. Per a recent Scientific American article, a quarter of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental illness, and if the DSM-5 were complete, to include the pathologies afflicting those writing the DSM standards, likely all could be. Normalizing imbalance changes nothing. My wife thinks I'm Asperger's, and if so, I'd want to know, so I carefully considered her diagnoses, but per DSM-5 I don't meet the criteria, though while I may be "on the spectrum," I doubt there are any nerds who aren't, with most proud of it, so my pathology may have to await DSM-6. I am as comfortable hanging out with the homeless at a soup kitchen as I am having lunch with academics and scientists at a conference. I don't know what that means. I fail to see differences. The concept "different" carries within it a hidden "in kind", being short for "different in kind". I fail to see humans as different in kind from a chimp, orca, or cabbage. I don't have a Theory of Mind.or a soul. There is no I and no mind, just behavior involving a brain, with perhaps more verbal behavior than needed. I see only variation, a universe void of difference. There is naught but universal interconnection of illusory "things," alleged entities humans believe to be real insttead of parsings of a concept forming brain—a pervasive pathology.
I confess to thinking too much. I try to limit my internal prattle to clarifying what I don't understand. I thought of Donella Meadows words. "There is one leverage point that is even higher than changing a paradigm. That is to keep oneself unattached in the arena of paradigms, to stay flexible, to realize that no paradigm is 'true', that everyone, including those that sweetly sing your own worldview, has a tremendously limited understanding of an immense and amazing universe that is far beyond human comprehension. It is to 'get' at a gut-level the paradigm that there are paradigms, and to see that that itself is a paradigm, and to regard that whole realization as devastatingly funny. It is to let go into not-knowing, into what the Buddhists call enlightenment." So is there a thought that could end thought? I don't think so. But thinking makes nothing so, so there is nothing either good or bad. The sun moves, or appears to. Flowers riot. Birds soar overhead; a tree falls; a dandelion its golden head upholds even if there is no one to tell the tale. My self-accrediting mind chatters on. Cars are ever present. "And the people—ah, the people— They that dwell up in the steeple," always coming and going just the same, always in a circle, they're never here to stay, but swim in a sea of stories., a sea of error, ignorance, and illusion. But I repeat myself.
Walking on through the city, walled in, confined to sidewalks, I was greatly amused, but not yet devastated. I'll have to work harder to get the joke, with eyes unclouded by longing, "whether that means rigorously analyzing a system or rigorously casting off your own paradigms and throwing yourself into the humility of Not Knowing. In the end, it seems that mastery has less to do with pushing leverage points than it does with strategically, profoundly, madly, letting go and dancing with the system." Donella again, who not only seems to know Zhen, but I suspect is Zhen. Is she the woman who stood up? "True words are not pleasing. Pleasing words are not true." Laozi again. Learning to dance with the system is no easy matter, but I'm taking lessons from the one who has all the answers. I tripped and fell today.
On an end of summer's day, carried a new sign on pole going down between backpack straps into back pocket. Didn't have to carry and worked well, so a new to me protest invention.
