“Why am I here?”

I believe I'm here for the mystery, not so much for clarity. I hope I can be lucid as I experience my final breaths.

The balance between seeking lucidity and mystery; to see is not to understand. Love it.

What your father was describing may be the phenomenon of knowledge fitting in with a set of understandings or information previously processed. I used to teach a class on creativity and the idea that fits in with previous norms is more useful than the idea that comes on “out of the blue “ or box. This seems to be counter intuitive to the notion of total genius

Our little biological computers are so fascinating! I would've loved to take this class, Miriam.
