What is the creation impulse without the destructive urge? What is life
without death? What is a beginning without an ending?
You admit that a life subject to harmonious Apollonian reason is dull- then
why the fervent embrace of it? I'd rather not fall down into the pit of
Because and perish with the dogs of Reason- I have a life to live. The
experiences that I enjoy the most, the most magical, beautiful, and sublime
events in my life, also tend to be the most destructive, pointless, and
irrational- yet I do them anyway. I continually ask why, yet reason
provides no answers... none relevant to my own experiences, anyway.
I'll let someone else worry about the singularity. I have other things to
be doing between now and then.
