"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." Aristotle

     The soul is an encasement of thick boiled down feeling. No matter how cold you happen to be, you just have a thicker shell. Though still encasing the richest, creamiest, thickest, most pure metaphysical concept. Your soul. And the fact that there is a way to express and distribute that thing, is incredible. When you look at a piece of art, you say, oh how beautiful, or, I just love the shadow. To the untrained eye that is all that is there. But when you can see it through a filter allowing only the richness of the soul through, that is when you can say something about the image. And know thats exactly what the artist meant. When artists draw things, they, represent some feeling, or mood with their, lighting and color choice. But then you realize that color, and light have no matter at all. They are merely that injudgable cover. The top layer. Just the nieve perception of the neoteric man. With a falsely evolved culture and society, and being outdated in millions of years by the richness of the soul and the imagery it can provide, we are indeed neoteric. We seem to have wandered off the suggested evolutionary path and fell into the one im guessing the majority of civilizations have. Laziness. Capitalism is merely a fad of the revolution, that happened to work quite nicely with no assistance at all. In fact better without. But communism is a further evolved way of thinking. The idea that we aren't all fighting with each other for dear survival, is a tantalizing thing. It suggests that one day our society could be of higher level beings. The only problem is the fact that people aren't perfect. It doesn't work. Unless the setting is changed. Enter, the borough concept. At a small scale communism works. When communism is at a small scale, people are under pressure to be better morally. Thats why in the smallest borough, every person acts as one unit. Ina a mega-borough, each borough acts as a unit all acting as individual people and making up another "borough". If one succeeds or attacks they are punished. If somehow they aren't the large economy will crumble back to the stage that originally opened the door to this civilization. Ironic, isn't it. The trick is, to find some way to enforce the law, and not let boroughs do things to crumble the society. Communism will string them together to some point, but the absence of the social triangle can help that too. Thats the problem. The absence of the triangle can decrease immorality, but when any small amount comes up, you need an instant triangle. Bringing us back to our current point. This is really just another ironic conclusion to a paradox. A paradox ultimately stemming to the human condition and our ability to look beyond it's limitations.

"Science is nothing but perception" -plato

When we realize that the cosmos are an ornate arena of mystery is when we realize the most elegant of ideas. When theoretical physics and philosophy crash once more, similar to the ancient times of the Greeks and Romans, incredibly radical ideas are surfacing. With a confusing beach full of knowledge unknown to the majority of humanity, as Newton said, “diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay undiscovered before me.” Every once in a while something surfaces and the great physicists and philosophers swim out and interpret and analyze and speculate until it has been released into the atmosphere so much that the public has suffocated with the enlightenment and now obvious condition of the somewhat recently discovered object. As we reach deeper into these ideas, which there are so many of, we are starting to realize something. Perception is but our viewpoint of the vast ocean. The ornate arena. Science is really just your perception of everything that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen. Take the long lasting philosophical problem entitled Qualia. It deals with the idea of whether colours are colours, or assigned aspects of objects perceived differently by every brain. If someone sees something as red, and everybody refers to the same object with the same dye, and same “color” as red, then relative to other objects, the subject is very much “red”. But relative to other people’s perception, it could be darker, or lighter or blue. String theory is another example. Being that it is realistically just an idea of philosophy, it can be perceived incredibly different from person to person from universe to universe. The connections made by each person is another fascinating aspect of the human mind. As more and more is discovered, more is connected and eventually we have what we think is an established view of reality. Reality is nothing but our perception. Whether red, or blue.

“We do not remember days we remember moments”-cesare pavese

The day is filled with garbage. The awkward small talk you endure in every situation can really clog up a day. You will often leave these aspects out. Yet still call it a day. I think this quote represents an idea in which the memorable are only memorable if they are still just as fantastic when taken out of context. You don’t need the entire day to represent the feeling you get from an event. That is what makes it great. In a way, it just means that this circumstance stands out. The fact that it’s different from the everyday boredom is what makes it better, and wholesome out of context. Existence has a spectrum. You can label it in many different ways. Similar to the balance of life. When a moment really stands out so much as to be memorable, better out of context, it has made a leap on the spectrum. An anomoly. An outlier, to set the average astray. This creates the illusion that the day was the memorable subject. The spectrum has to be understood in this context as the positive/negative of the situation not mood. As the positive/negative of your mood will be skewed similar to a median after the fact of this moment. This also can create illusions similar to the mood spectrum mistake. When something jumps on the spectrum it will most likely fall again revealing the gruel of the modern man.
