Natural Science Forum / Physics / General Physics / July 2008

The entries sound like koans in game theory or economics.

That doesn't mean they mean anything.

But at least I took a look before hurling random insults.

I also looked up "koan" in Wikipedia, mainly to make sure of the
spelling.

My considered opinion: they are all the deepest essence of BS.

If I am the master and you are the student, then I may tell you any
manner of meaningless drivel, and your lack of understanding may be
taken for lack of enlightenment.  If you are a bright student, though
fettered to the idea that my utterance means something, you will go
away and come up with _something_.  If it's good, I can take credit
for it.

A bird opened its own cage door.
The man asked the bird why it did not fly away.
"Because", said the bird, "if I flew, I would lose the fantasy of
being master of my destiny, but just being too fine to choose it".

Damn...  that one may actually mean something.  I have to work on this
to achieve pure meaninglessness.

I wish to grok exterior algebras.  Do you know anything about them?

Fine.  I've got a job.  Which one pays more? :-)
