As a Nihilist I know no "Truth(s)"...just everyone's beliefs crashing upon one and other in a field of chaos...all so-called "rights" are human inventions...history has no meaning, just a long list of human absurdity...but then, I have poetry...Beethoven...Bach...Van Gogh...and the wonderful words of Leonard Cohen.

For me the great "Cosmic Joke" is the belief in fee-will...there isn't any...but we are constantly blaming ourselves and each other...religions love the free-will joke...the advertising industry of capitalist consumerism controls all perception...nothing can escape...for me...freedom is in knowing that it is all a great big game...we are all addicted to something...some just have more addictions than others.

Well , I for one do not pay for my will...
I exercise it...( a few pushups , spreading out )
Yet , in gematria , *Free Will* equals the number value
of 627...what is left over in two columns of symbols ,
when that is minused , is the number 267 ;
And , just so happens...
Will = 267
So , myself...I *firmly believe in *Free Will*...and choose it...

"while Higgins collaborates on a new one with schoolchildren." -President
looks the part, in terms of lepperochan-esque. bit like a hobbit too. we always worry when he heads to New Zealand to watch rugby he'll get killed by an Orc
but, jokes aside, loved the article
I entered a comp in the Irish Independent. put a bit of effort into it, didn't really expect to win, wasnt even considered in the end. which was fine
But they published one of his (pres Higgans) and it was the biggest load of shite ever printed. ..I'm not bitter or anything haha, but collab with kids is about his level
lepperochan said:We've had 4 die monday, 16 died tuesday. hopefully it's not an indication our ease of locking down which started monday is a bit premature
