A quotation from Ursula K. Le Guin
It’s like all the time I was working keeping house and raising the kids and making love and earning our keep I thought there was going to come a time or there would be some place where all of it came together. Like it was words I was saying, all my life, all the kinds of work, just a word here and a word there, but finally all the words would make a sentence, and I could read the sentence. I would have made my soul and know what it was for. But I have made my soul and I don’t know what to do with it. Who wants it?
Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) American writer
Story (1995-11), “Ether, OR,” Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction, Vol. 19

This episode starts with the EMH and Seven going on about how annoying and imperfect humans are.
Ironically, they both f**k up. 🤦♂️
A quotation from Charles Mackay
The study of the errors into which great minds have fallen in the pursuit of truth can never be uninstructive. As the man looks back to the days of his childhood and his youth, and recalls to his mind the strange notions and false opinions that swayed his actions at that time, that he may wonder at them; so should society, for its edification, look back to the opinions which governed the ages fled. He is but a superficial thinker who would despise and refuse to hear of them merely because they are absurd. No man is so wise but that he may learn some wisdom from his past errors, either of thought or action; and no society has made such advances as to be capable of no improvement from the retrospect of its past folly and credulity.
Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer
Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, “The Alchymists” (1841)

A quotation from Joseph Addison
Persons in great stations have seldom their true characters drawn till several years after their deaths. Their personal friendships and enmities must cease, and the parties they were engaged in be at an end, before their faults or their virtues can have justice done to them.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101

A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox
And yet I would not be a child again.
For surely as the night succeeds the day,
So surely will their mirth turn into tears.
And I would not return to happy hours,
If I must live again these weary years.
I would walk on, and leave it all behind:
will walk on; and when my feet grow sore,
The boatman waits — his sails are all unfurled —
He waits to row me to a fairer shore.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
Poem (1868), “An Autumn Reverie,” st. 4-5, Shells (1873)

If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things I would take seriously. I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances. I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would burn up more gasoline. I would eat more ice cream and less bran. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
History is opaque. You see what comes out, not the script that produces events, the generator of history. There is a fundamental incompleteness in your grasp of such events, since you do not see what’s inside the box, how the mechanisms work. What I call the generator of historical events is different from the events themselves, much as the minds of the gods cannot be read just by witnessing their deeds. You are very likely to be fooled about their intentions.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)

I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.

Sometimes in #Retrospect Unintended Consequences are clearly heralded by #TheThing itself. The #Algorithm will notice you kept slowing down scrolling by that Pumpkin Pecan #Cheesecake video…and that your subscribed to that one other foodie thing. Fair Warning - eat before checking in on the more serious side of #Youtube next time. You will leave hungry from now on. Those bastards

중학교때인가? 국민학교때인가? 부산에서 남천동 삼익 아파트촌으로 이사를 갔었는데 여기가 당시 나름 부촌이었어. 거길 갔더니 아이들이 막 나이키, 아식스, 미즈노 막 이런 거 신고 다니더라고... 난 만화 그려진 신발을 신고 다녔는데 ㅋㅋㅋ (심지어 엄니가 가정과 선생님이어서, 실습때 만든 바지 이런 거 입고 다녔음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ)
여하튼 그때 본 시계가 카시오의 전자계산기가 붙어 있던 이런 거... 내 기억상으론 저거 전화번호 입력 해놓으면 전화 수화기에 대고 띡 누리면 다이얼 톤이 입력되면서 전화가 걸리던;;;;
어릴적 그거 보고 얼마나 부러웠던지....
