False Constraints
May 07, 2004
There is something very pleasing about a nice coffee beverage in the evening after months of no coffee in the evening. Is it the coffee or the removal of the constraint. Coffee in the morning is nice but not like this. So it's the latter and once again, as every day, voluntary temporary slavery is affirmed as the road to a freedom that is false but viscerally satisfying. Which matters more: having something real or thinking you have something? (4BD)

What's the old saying? "Coffee in morning, sailors take warning. Coffee at night, sailors delight." (4BE)
Something like that anyway. (4BF)
Reality is largely irrelevent. The perception and the cognition is the key. I may have $30 million hidden in a mattress somewhere. But if I've forgotten about it, then it does me no good, and I can't do the things I want to do with a lot of money (like quit working and become a full-time Nielson Family). Conversely, if I believe that I have a winning lottery ticket, then I'm gonna get drunk and giggle obnoxiously all night, even though I'm actually reading the numbers off last week's ticket. (4BG)
Life is funny that way... you know... like... funny? (4BH)
