Facts, fiction, or myth

 So, we want to start out with facts and fiction, and not worry so much about myth, on account of that draws heavily on our " knowledge " or perceptions concerning --- > time < ---, historical or scientific notions related to that.  

So a big issue is that you have facts in fiction.  For example, in a novel the protagonist maybe wears read shoes, or some character is bald.  So, I guess , to an objective observer we would be talking about " fictional facts " .   Some fictional facts may be easier to deal with than others, but nevertheless you have it and sometimes, from time to time, fictional facts, may leak into the world of what we --- really all do --- want to call factual facts or real facts.  

But back to fictional facts, when involved with a work of fiction, the facts of the fiction may become imbedded in an individual or a culture.  I do think you can observe this in the impact that certain works of fiction may have made in various ways in ' actual ' social change.

So it a simple thing of this sort that turns out to be really a little more difficult to sort out than one might think.

It's a bit odd, that this hasn't be worked through , by this time, in a more substantive way.  Now, if we throw some myth into this " pie ", we can produce some , genuine, conundrums.  That is mostly because when you start floating --- facts ---- from what ever source in a ' large enough ' space, you may perceive many apparent contradictions.  In other words, in such a ' large ' space, such and such a -- real or fictional -- fact may be flying around, and another such fictional or real facts may in some way intersect it, and what may seem like a contradiction will then appear.  And then, it turns out that some difficulties might or do arise, on account of sorting that all out can be quite difficult.

From the point of view of a 1954 pickup truck, not really all that relevant, to what goes on for him.

Synchronicity

 So, this strange, word, which suggests something like, two things happening at the same time, which are seemingly disconnected.  So, that may appear first mostly in the works of Carl Jung, and the formulations of many of his concepts related to applications of phycology.   Now, to the best of my understanding, Irwin Schrodinger, in the late 40's and early 50's kind of latched onto this " concept ", in relation to describing the " kind of " physics, connected to biologicals processes.  So maybe this is funny or not, but during this same time Schrodinger was supposed to be working with Einstein on the >>> Unified Field Theorem <<< , I guess, the " Theorem " gives it all away.  At some point , Schrodinger may have given a >>> press conference <<<  in which he announced that " they ", had been successful.  Well, he had not previously consulted Einstein, and apparently Einstein response was, okay we are don...

Perplexity, absurdity, and power

 So, when you consider or imagine " absolute " power, you must also consider the issue of " infinite " work.  In other words, without the results or effects of power, you really don't know anything about it. Nevertheless, throughout most of human history, we have labored under this concept of " absolute " power, which in and of itself produces very difficult logical or mental conundrums.  Of course, Dr. Einstein was fairly successful in dispelling some of these odd conundrums in particularly as regards some of our notions related to the physical world and our " environment " so to speak, however, that required a life time of work, and the help of many colleagues over the years. But simply, even if you do consider the >>>> universe <<<<< to be an infinite amount of work and therefore requiring an infinite/absolute amount of power, well, if you're going to try and rustle up numbers that actually make sense, you ar...

Something, something, reality

 Now, when we reflect back on " reality ", most people will agree, >>> it's hard to do without it <<< Now, we might be able to figure out how Godel's Proof , ties back to all this stuff, but it seems to me that if you want to describe some kind of reality, then you pretty much have to talk about diversity, and so probably, possibly what you are really talking about is the " ability " to sort out, elements of diversity as being a substantive process which it kind of seems like is persistently .occurring.   This might occur through action like --->  back actions <--- of some different processes or  even ---> front action <----, which might be easier to comprehend. So , if you are an automobile, and you can travel to pretty much anyplace in the world within 1 hour, then, things might look a bit different, particularly if you are into variation and transformation.  So, for example, Ralphy will rarely go to Africa, unless, it's l...
