I've heard of Catcher in the Rye, but not the Wolfe book. Sometime you'll have to tell me what happens in those tomes, or maybe you might suggest I read them myself.
I've heard the claim that the cosmic galactic web resembles the web of neurons and axons in the brain. I'm not sure there's much point in reading a lot into that - it demonstrates that somewhat similar forces are at work in both cases, but I don't really believe that there is much more going on.... Anyway, drinking can be alright, so long as you're okay to do it. I prefer to enjoy a little non-alcoholic beer, believe it or not. That offers a little "placebo effect" and can bring back some good memories LOL |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I think I read "Zen" about the same time I picked up Wolfe’s The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby  Please, don't ask me what it was about; and, don't ask me what Salinger's Catcher in the Rye was meant to convey... other than, "I'm J.D. Salinger and I'm one self-absorbed S.O.B.."### Some time in the future, I might say "Hey, Doug. Has it ever occurred to you that the architecture of the cosmic web (galaxies, filaments, explosions, cosmic rays) pretty much imitates the activities and structure of the brain vis a vis somas, dendrites and axons?" Maybe when we stare into space we are really staring into the Brain of God. What? NO! I'm not drinking! |
