Consensus

It is neither this nor that,
Yet it is also both.

“There are only atoms and empty space — all else is mere opinion.” – Democritus

I said one,

I wanted to hear two,
But now I’d settle for three or twenty.

Anything but the absolute silence of infinity.

First essay in Japanese

こんいちわせんせい。かれらはおとうとうです。しろシャツをきるひとわAngeloくん。あのひとはろくさいです。あかいシャツをきるひとわSean Cedricくん。あのひとわよんさいです。カけらわSt. Paulのがくせいです。カけらはげんきです。おとうとうがだいすき。

そんだけ。ありがとうございみす。

Hello teacher. They are my brothers. The person in white shirt is Angelo. He is six years old. The person in red shirt is Sean Cedric. He is four years old. They are students of Saint Paul. They are really fun. I love my brothers.

That is all. Thank you very much.

That is the most insightful and complex essay I have ever written. I was actually thinking twice about posting it since I thought I am not ready for fame or the Pulitzer prize, but then I realized I am supposed to be great, that I am ready for anything, and that it is in fact the universe that is not ready for me. So if your mind waters because of the above masterpiece’s inscrutability, please do not worry for you are normal; it’s just that I am so brilliant it’s sometimes unbearable.

Mind, do not worry

For there is no such thing as careless mistake. Not only does it not exist, but it can not exist, for it being will shatter the very foundation of the universe (strings? point particles? jumping elephants?). Hence, it will soon cease to exist at the moment it exists because that which gives it existence is destroyed and those who give meaning to the existence of mistakes shall no longer be.

So by virtue of amazing logic and very clear and succinct exposition, my assertion stands.
