This page contains an accumulation of odds and ends that I presented in my Personal Website and then removed but didn't want to discard.
Headline Comments

The past is only a memory.  The future is only a prediction.  The distant is only a speculation.  Only the present is certain and that only within a few feet in any direction.  Past, future, distant, all are a mystery and the more remote from oneself, the more mysterious.

I recall a statement that I read somewhere, long ago.  It was that there isn't any correct view of a mountain.  Each view of a mountain, from each different direction, will be different.  Each view of the mountain is equally as valid as any other view of it.  The author of the statement, whoever he was, provided a useful metaphor.  Science, for example, is only one view of the universe.  There are probably other ways by which the universe can be understood.  If we do not experience any of those other ways, then it doesn't demonstrate their non-existence or their invalidity.  It only reflects our own limited view of things.  Whatever approach to understanding the universe is used, the only requirement is that it addresses the universe.  Any other such approach is equally as valid as science.

One of the prerequisites of being perceived as a craftsman is the ability to hide your stupid mistakes.

Getting a "higher education" often consists of learning more and more about less and less while understanding less and less about more and more.
