Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self to know it completely to know its minutiae its characteristics its subtleties and its very atoms.
I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.
Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant ingenious and effective. As electronics goes the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet or a painting or a speech that is perfectly done on more than one level.
As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud the anger is elevated sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.
I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day but I don't pretend that if Facebook didn't exist that this wouldn't even be possible. Of course it would have.
