how stupid people really are

The subject line is ambiguous,
yet it's possible the saying goes within
unseen by eyes unadjested to such a light.

When people are seen as mechanisms, simple
bio-neurological chemistry of physics, how stupid
they must be. How could anything intelligent
ever emerge out of a rock, one may wonder.

A mechanical animal is alive. Alive!
Artificial intelligence is the Way, they may say.

While others of more or less capacity might say nay.
People are not just emergent phenomena.
Biology is not physiology alone.

A single cell isn't stupid.
Chemistry isn't blind.
Evolution isn't just
Natural Selection.

When Tom first arrived here, stupidity arose
as being a question. How stupid are we,
or how stupid anyone is, at times.

How much capacity does empty space have.
Being formless, how stupid can it be.

TTC 1 begins.
It speaks of how Ways and Names are.
How a Path can be chosen and told.
This is no Ordinary Teaching.
No, chang dao, it may say.

So get ready, the TTC says.
Buckle up. With names and Without names.
With and without desire. Chang, chang, chang.

When a container has only so much capacity,
that does not mean it is stupid by any means.

A cup that runneth over mites has reached
one step beyond the beyond within.

Time within time and time again,
few there be who reach the sea.

Those that do, who have a ship, may sail.
Others are bound to remain on land.
Their wells may contain frogs.
Little dove. Cicada.

Some are able to swim in a notion.
Others may learn to tread water.

- connotations vary

Sorry.
Wrong group.

Still barefoot though.
And taking a cue from Daniel to heat treat
the soles of my feet during the summer.

Then again, maybe this was the right group. Hmm.

- cheers!

I have been barefoot 3 days in a row, but now being Monday morning, a
working day, I'm shod again, till evening comes.

Hi Victor,

I wondered if you were still subscribed to this group.

Good to hear from you!

I'm still mostly 24/7 barefooting.

- cheers!

Yes, I am. I mostly follow the barefooting groups on Facebook now,
however. Also the old good SBL mailing list.

Glad to hear from you too!
