"Can I add anything", that is the question

When Bankers get together for dinner they discuss Art. When Artist get together for dinner they discuss money. Oscar Wilde


I week or so ago I quoted "Popeye" on my blog. "I am what I am". Then I added the question " Do we just have what we have or do we add to what we have?" It is a question that can depend on whether you think we came here with something or if we are just so many protons?

Let's have dinner

Existentialism is generally considered a study that pursues the meaning in existence and seeks value for the existing individual. Existentialism unlike other points of view, does not treat the individual as a concept.

This subject can go in a lot of directions but the main identifiable common proposition, is that existence precedes essence. By this, existentialism states that man exists and in that existence man defines himself and the world in his own subjectivity, and wanders between choice and freedom, at least.

I was thinking today a little about Science.(Protons and such)

A friend who is a scientist told me he reads my blog everyday. I think a lot of him and was complimented. I have noticed that I get a lot less emails since I started this blog.

Seems like in New Mexico you find a lot of Scientists.

I can relate to the Artists who go off to lunch talking about money. I guess in a lot of ways with this blog it is like that. Maybe I am off to lunch just digging up stuff that has little to do with my work. Someone else I think a lot of said she was glad she could look in on my blog and get a look at my life. I guess that worries me since this is just in it's essence, "lunch", and a bit of dialog about stuff that I find interesting.

Bill Byson wrote a book that was named "A Short History of Nearly Everything"
I liked the book I found the first few lines in the book interesting.

"No matter how hard you try you will never be able to grasp just how tiny, how spatially unassuming , is a proton. Is it just way too small. "

"A proton is an infinitesimal part of an atom. Protons as so samll that the do on this i can hold something in the region of 500,000,000,000 of them. More seconds contained in a half million years."


How can this guy think he can have a book with this title and with 478 pages in it and start out like this?

The rest of the book was interesting but it didn't begin to answer the questions it opened.

(Of course that works, you see I like the questions)

The book asks many, but not all, of "the" questions.........So books like this are just anothergood of a reason to be existentialist

It's because I think that our essesence came before our essence. I figure that all those protons got their calling orders somehow.

I put the book "Art & Fear" on this because the quote about Artists going to dinner was in it.

And then this one......................
