I finished Mount Analogue book by Rene Daumal this weekend on my way to Los Angeles. It's sort of a surrealist parody of Bacon's New Atlantis and very funny. Lots in there about living with modern scientism and its absurdities.
A quote for the books:
"A knife is neither true nor false. But someone who grasps it by the blade is truly in error." (88)
Los Angeles was fun and enormous and incomprehensible. A man on the street told me to demonstrate good leadership skills for my 'younger sister.' I heard a radio personality explain that 'the sports is always there' in sports-comedy. I took a few videos, bought orange solar shields, and met some new friends.
neither true nor false
