Quote of the Day


From Teju Cole: "Who we are: we are the vanished people people a hundred years from now will have a hard time imagining."

  1. The old saying is that those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. But the rub is this; the ultimate lesson of history is that, whether you learn any of the other lessons or not, you're still doomed. Doomed to vanish and be one of those people that cannot be imagined. Right or left, good or bad, big or small, doesn't matter. You still go away. -J

  2. You know, J, I know your concerns about death are legendary, LOL, but without death, all this, including the meaninglessness, would have no meaning. Don't worry, I don't expect that to cheer you up.
