Chapter 71
It is wise to admit ignorance. Those that claim to know everything will fail. Those who are willing to accept new information are able to adapt to whatever situation they are in. Because they are willing to acknowledge failure, they will not fail.
Chapter 72
When people openly disobey Authority, another Authority will descend. The wise spags go around, not against. When people lack a sense of awe they cannot see what's awesome. Do not restrict people's freedoms, or their time space continuum. If you act like a spag, you will be treated like a spag. Therefore the wise spag acts, but is not an actor.
Chapter 73
Those who embrace Disorder will breed Order. Those who embrace Order will breed Disorder. Both of these ways are foolish. Why would you embrace Illusion, and deny one half of the Universe? Wise spags find the patterns, and invent new game rules to trip up The Machine™. They change the world, not through Ideology, but by finding the Hidden Middle. They straddle the shifting line between True and False, and embrace the whole Universe.
Chapter 74
When you realize that change is the only constant there is nothing left to do. Drop ambition and expectation and Death will have nothing real to kill. Let the pieces fall where they may And have someone else pick them up.
Chapter 75
People are not free, because Authority gives people their Freedoms. The people do not take it. Authority makes myriad rules, because people do not follow them. That is why we are all criminals. People do not care about responsibility, because they gave it to Authority. Authority does not care about people, because they are not responsible. Only those who accept responsibility, and seize their freedoms, can change their stars.
Chapter 76
When born, you are closer to Eris than ever. Then is no conceptual order or disorder and things simply are. Growing up, we get Grayfaced, just to get by in trade, we receive the 'gifts' of compliance and structure. Believing this to be reality, Our bodies become Rigoursly Mortal rather than flexibly free.
Chapter 77
Chaos is made up of all things. This is why it makes no distinctions. People are less than all things, so they see differences and put them in boxes. Because they are people, They lie to themselves from the day they opened their eyes. Who are freed from the chains of Illusion? Not even the wise spags, although they try. Therefore the wise spags create their own Illusions, But do not admit perfect clarity. They know better than anyone else, the power of Illusion to blind the eye and deafen the ear.
Chapter 78
Nothing is better than finding a home. Endangered however free? Ahem er uh s’awful nice too. So if somebody asks you to giv’em some slack. Do it I say. I promise no regret. Therefore TGRR? in spite of his spew, is waaay more helpful in chasing the blues, sweet fairy princess. Live within the paradox.
Chapter 79
If you do not shit your hate, you will die. Who can live, retaining a colon full of hate? Therefore the monkeys howl, and fling their poop. Are you surprised the wise spags are monkeys? They do not deny how they were born, nor their contradictory nature. To deny all the elements that make us human, is worse than an impacted bowel. The people are all monkeys, but the wise spag admits it.
Chapter 80
In a place where information is suppressed, and curiosity stifled, The people will be uncaring, unwise, and not free. They will rely on tradition as their guides; They will not make observations; Or try things out; Or experiment; Or play. They will be suspicious of outsiders just as they are with new ideas. Their minds will be as stagnant as the pond where they dump their garbage. They are surely as dead as they can be, though they still draw breath.
Chapter 81
We’re part of the problem, takes one to know one, it’s true. Rhetoric and repertoire postulated it’s all just a ruse. The Masters own nothing, Chaos skillfully curled in their heads, they give without taking and put you to bed. Chaos embraces and caresses as you no doubt recall.
