The sound score of the excellent film “Ghost Dog”. I had forgotten it! How is that even possible?
A fragment existed of course, but a fragment it not the same as an actual memory. An actual memory is connected to a feeling.
A memory is not simply saved data (that would do the trick). It is more.
It is the sweat in your palm. Nervousness, will the call be returned, can/should I manifest myself or did I really lock the front door, did I turn off the stove properly or is the fridge closed? Do I smell nice, are my shoes clean?
Damn, again (again) contradictions, does not work at all with my rationalist “project”***. My overall convictions and my ultimate life goal. Stop building rockets and concentrate on sending data instead.
Going to Mars in the flesh? Just don’t.
I enquired the young one about school. They were reading about the “New Time”.
– That sounds interesting. Which time area would that be?
– Late 16 to early 17:Th century.
– OK. It was not called that when I went to school.
– So you are reading about the 30-year old war? When Gustav II Adolf died?
– Yes.
And then I associated to a number. The number was 1632. It is indeed the year, the very same king died.
– Is that not strange? Why, how could (or did I) remember that year?
– Why did I think of that number?
– No.
Is that “spirituality”? Is that the same “feeling” that make someone blow up other people regardless (let’s be clear far-whatever and misinformed religious are all the same to me. They are fanatics in a bad way. Fanaticism is not necessarily a bad thing by the way. Another mistreated word, among many others…)
“They can’t see him walking trough the darkness.”
Ghost Dog – The Way Of The Samurai. I wanted to say “Walking Through The Darkness”. But that would be ridiculous, “Stay With Me” and everything else on this album. The album is…
Final: what the hell is “The New Time”! That is what they teach the young (my young one)? So, we live in the “New-new-new time”. That’s just stupid. Everything after the Middle-ages is… NEW TIME? Oh my Lord. Don’t mess with history! “Nya tiden”. Seriöst? It scares the hell out of me. That is an entire generation or several generations? Why? Why would you do something like that?
In Sweden the law says you have to attend school in nine years. It is mandatory. It was as many other ideas extremity good ideas. Educate the people, so the can serve a greater purpose, so they can create unity. Do you mean in common system?
– Yes. For a short while (complex systems are never stable in fact is quite the opposite, another subject all together).
Today? Well, the system broke a long time ago. Everyone knows that. In that context. The idea of mandatory school? It depends, I guess. “NEW TIME” what the f**k is going on?
“If you don’t know your history, you will not know your future.”
PS. My categories really suck.
I had forgotten…
*** Yeah, I can hear your laughter from there to here in my castle. I know… but every time? Massive appreciation on my part, however I’m not all that sure that I actually like the layout. I mean everytime?
