I don't know if the HTML editor is on the fritz here or what.  But today I spent commenting on the Times Online re: Creationsm. 

 http://www.coolscifi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2... this is a recent editorial at the sciffiorums about it.

 I am in favor of it being taught as myth. Especially if it includes Flying Spaghetti as the Creator.  I have been debating internally the proposition that what makes us happy makes us wiser, and the reverse, what makes us unhappy makes us idiots.  It pleased me to 'follow my bliss' today. It made me feel wiser.

This piece of homily is from a book called Little, Big by John Crowley.  In it the old gods are deposed and replaced by a nest of sybaritic rustics who rigorously practice that philosophy and manage to get the 'door' open to where the old gods were. Most intriguing and useful pseudoscience. Would it not be marvelous if what made us happy made us wise in real life as well?

They also were in possession of a microcosmos machine which once started, ran by perpetual motion. Fixing it was instrumental to liftoff, as it were. Would it not be lovely if the yoga of the subtle bodies worked like that? for it is alleged, and fondly wished, that we all contain the cosmos if we look within at the correct angle.

But so far, all I have been sure about is that they who make you happy allow you to be wise, and they who make you unhappy ultimately turn you stupid if you believe them. It's not exactly the same. But it does help me justify my extreme distrust of both myself and the rest of my species. Humans, you are not making Helga happy enough. Yet you did invent this nifty toy I am expressing myself with so thank you for that. Expressing myself is udderly necessary.

No, that is not a gratuitous pun, it is deliberate and the literal truth when looked at from my angle.

 Scary how much it feels exactly like that, o poor pitiful me, huh? Yet incredibly I continue to exist and breathe and stink and sweat and weep and exude and express.  I Ching says: care of the cow brings good fortune. Nobody caring for this cow but herself?
