Linguistic Reminder: A Kudos For Your Many Agenda
The Common Sense Conundrum
It seems to me that a frequent problem with most people's talk about "common sense" is not that it isn't really so common. It's that it isn't really sense.
Truth is Unknowable, Truth is Apparent
Truth is unknowable, because we can only know with our minds. I mean, no, of course truth is knowable.
I'm sure, to an ant, truth is apparent: follow formic acid trails, dig in soil.
To us, probably the same—the truth of whatever is our own equivalent of formic acid and digging. Broader by comparison, of course, but equivalent in terms of being constrained by limits we know nothing about, out there on the impenetrable edge of our own capacities.
I wonder what an ant makes of the beach, the shore, the ocean. The sky.
An ant works in the daytime, but I don't think it questions where the light comes from.

Eventually, you have a dance floor full of really great dancers, and a crowd of looky-loos buying drink after drink because alcohol happens to be an efficient solution to a number of the mildly uncomfortable aspects of that situation.
Once this gets some buzz, I'm telling you, it would be hot as hell. It checks every…
Conversation: Music And A Higher Power

Me: "Sometimes listening to Bill Evans I get a flash that those 12-step people are right, like there’s something out there much, much bigger than me."
MMcC: "Oh yeah. For sure. I have more to say about that than I can text."
MMcC: "Some things are really only knowable because of him."

I’ve been listening to him on Pandora all morning, and, you know, they won’t stick to a single artist, so it’s a lot of piano jazz trios, and every time they flip from him to someone else or back it’s like a night and day difference. I was having a daydream, what if I could go back to being about 12 years old, and I thought, I’d probably ask my parents to get me a bunch of Bill Evans records.
