Three Minute Free Association after a run

Diary of a Monday evening run I just got back from a rum, trying ot remember all the thoughts I had. I try to keep my mind empty as to not waste mental energy in the nerves. The mind is not necessarily limited by the physical universe- aka dreams, we venerate our biology by transcending our roots as animals to become spiritual intelligent beings. We live in an objective world, the keys stayed where I left them- people play Xbox live Halo over the internet in the same virtual reality- virtual reality is another example of mind transcending physicality. A subjective daydream bike ride run vs an objective run across OSU campus. So many young enthusiastic people, running, playing kick ball and ultimate frizbee, walking home from class dreaming about bee, smoking cigarettes which should be illegal and biodegradable, and littering them all over. The ends often distract me more than the means. Imagination is unlimited, knowledge is limited to what we know experience and think. Creativity is the key. We do live in a marvelous world at sunset, buildings in the air, colored hues of sunset meshed with green trees and grass, winter looks downright scary and bare in comparison. I really want to get the book done so I can take my mind off of it. That is a strong motivating force- that and becoming famous, helping the world, making my friends and family proud, starting a web based business, fulfilling OTI, and getting filthy rich while saving the planet. I don’t understand why people limit themselves, set their goals so low. Misery is in hindsight pleasure, because it is over. You cannot say there is no absolute truth, because that itself is an absolute statement. So if there is no absolute truth, then you cannot say “there is no absolute truth.” Therefore the statements are not self-consistent. The sum of all subjectivisms creates the ultimate objectivity. More players more criticism more progress toward canceling out agendas. Statistic probability. Illusions. Pain. Does pain matter? Reductionism is useful to a point, but one has to admit the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Aren’t humans more than 100 pounds of living tissues? Isn’t society more than the living individuals?
