i like this word >> extinctified a sobering fact is the high probability that over time most species do go extinctified

brb

i know right, the ancient greeks could just see atoms as plain as day, why else could they consider they existed.

i will trade in the merton for the leggee. stosh, this is just a test run no worries

they do have watson and leggee here and those look nothing like the merton to me. i may have to drop back and punt for now.

glad this is a test free and easy wanderer is chapter 1? this merton stuff is totally different writings?

i am in a university library it isnt much trouble, they have quite a few good taoist materials ,anyways let me go to the elevator...... merton: THE USELESS TREE hui tzu said to chuang: i have a big tree, the kind they call a stinktree the trunk is so distorted, so full of knots, no one can get a straight plank out of it. the branches are so crooked you cannot cut them up in any way that makes sense. there it stands beside the road. no carpenter will even look at it. such is your teaching-- big and useless. chuang tzu replied: have you ever watched the wildcat crouching, watching over its prey-- this way it leaps, and that way, high and low, and at last lands in the trap. but have you seen the yak? great as the thundercloud he stands in his might. he cant catch mice! so for your big tree. no use? then plant in in the wasteland in emptiness walk idly around, rest under its shadow; no axe or bill prepares its end. no one will ever cut it down. useless? you should worry?

ok let me go check out a legge version, i was looking at merton

emptiness?

yow saw that right, mh?

i am tryin to be a freakin dinosaur artist, geesh scientist can be tempermental all they want and nobody critiques them, but even if an artist cuts off an ear or sth they get labeled it isnt fair

bows humbly

would you please? i am distraught over this entire thread now i am not sure if i can even go forward with my # 71.6

noooooooooo an assist for helping restart the chuang tzu threads! CD reminds me of that one chuang tzu character that was never afraid to stand alone even if others did not share his view the rest of ya'll get a bigger share of the assist, i just wanted a tiny portion

that saddens me but wtf was its final meal!

i get an assist! yipee

russia has a frozen one or 2

but stosh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nevermind, i am gonna stick to art, this science stuff is for the dinosaurs, zeros goes to work on his masterpiece, a cloaked dinosaur/woolly mammoth clone, done in the style of pollock oil drippings, dinosaur doo doo and chicken feathers splttered on canvas. i will call it # 71.6 i expect it to go for about 40 million after i die before i die i expect 42 cents at the flea market

didnt chuang tzu basically give the same warning?

he acquired it with noble intentions only

i am sure that the woolly mammoth will love global warming or else the dinosaurs might. if there could be a return of the ice age--- then woolly mammoth and dinosaur could roam free once more

equality and equivalence are 2 different things, not saying that i am making any point with that. how does one determine if bones are tame or wild? a chinese dragon would never eat a maiden? cmon now drags on. intended pun? be advised there may be a bit of synchronicity with that there be dragons remark

no the dinosaurs killed and ate us all, where have you been?
