jc conjectures in reply:
I'd say it's a dilemma even in a unitarian-feel-good -about -
everything universe. One must still choose. One must have a
pedestal from which to lever the cosmos. Jumping nimbly about can be
exhiliarating, but it is written that you'll never get to the top of
the mountain unless you pick and path and stick with it.

Activity of navigating.
What stars guide us? Quality is undefined.
What stars guide the stars that guide the thoughts and dreams and
aspirations of an entire populace yearning for nothing more than the
next American Idol? There is definition for you. Printed large and
beamed throughout the land - what is good and what is not good, laid
out in technocolor
And what resonates in my soul as a solution to the dilemma? You
can't bounce around between unthought-out metaphysical realities
(unconscious metaphysics tend to be bad metaphysics) and you can't
encourage any single static vision which blocks DQ. Wordsworth - "
Great gods I'd rather be a pagan suckled in a creed outworn" and
thus have hope of some way out of this sterile hell created by
corporate men.
