blinded by science;

confusing the anthropic principle 

for the anti-entropic principle.

the membrane is where you're insane; 

neither above, nor below;

it's the flow.

girls and boys are different.
but so is everyone different-
what's your point?

girls and boys are different
if you want to believe that those are two separate compartmented things.
people are not things.  

girls and boys are the same.
name any two groups, categories or diagnoses of people
and you have the same basic brain box jelly peep.

yeah ok general statistical correlations if you have a large group but
1- these differences are not all that (compared to what?), and
2- there are no actual human beings that are statistically perfect.

assemblage; various materials, acrylic
26" x 10" x 4"

      Obviously there's a reference to Shelly; a degraded figure emerging from the chaotic ruin of a once great empire; a garbagey rebirth; a sketchy memory re- re- translated out of the Cube.  What else lies buried in the sand?

we are machines
machines that dream
machines composed of living machine animalcules
and so on emerging from blind atoms

emerging in a dream a face talking this thing this dream being is it me?

did this theory of mind evolve to facilitate ever larger superorganisms' social functioning?
or there's always an or did mind evolve molecules to store information?

yes.

shut it, beautiful dreamer.
