The album presentation this week is OK Computer by Radiohead. The students doing it do not seem typical fans of that record. Should be fun. I used to avoid this situation but have since learned my assumptions often not worth assuming right. Something very wonderful can happen finding out you’re wrong. Even at the book reading, my friend went on about his assumption that so and so thinks such and such. He was down about his perception that one negative outcome was the only likely way the story proceeds. No room that he could also be incorrect. These days on pano there is something I’m trying to achieve doing separate left and right hand exercises. The magical goal has not happened but the trick is being vigilant about mind assuming failure and then quitting. It ain’t necessarily so. I heard a philosophy lecture one time where it was suggested people obsess over what is “wrong” with their lives as if they ever were experienced in being different than what they actually are. As if they know what it is like to be what they are not and therefore legitimately can judge between the two positions. Makes me think more on the parasitic wasp and the oblivious host.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
