Four Elements of Knowledge: 1. Things that are true. 2. Things that are false. 3. Things that are both true and false (paradoxes). 4. One other thing ... I have this intense proof of the source of knowledge. But I would need a white-board with black marker, or a black-board with chalk, to show you.

I am not embarrassed or angered. From message <7405@dasys1.UUCP> Mr. Baumbach writes: >When I was 26, I wasn't embarrassed or angered either. Now that I'm 43 >I know I should have been. Someone told me I was young and foolish. It's even worse to be old and foolish. The physical laws of the universe are determined by the star that created it. (This is for Shannon) Artificial Intelligence and Government: The Russians are not our greatest threat. Their cars don't even come with a five year, fifty thousand mile warrenty. (5/50) I have an idea for a bomb, it uses the Earth for a detonator, it will take out most of the nearby stars, the result will be a massive black-hole and the creation of another universe. (It may already be built! NOT by me.) I also have an idea for an anti-gravity elevator for getting materials into space. Although our government uses a different terminology, it is the same in meaning as England's in the Seventeen Hundreds. We our governed by inheritors, alcoholics, and drug abusers. I cannot do physics under these conditions. Like OIL, "We have to protect our interests" and keep the drug prices low. I propose a law, The Dave Peru Mandatory Alcohol and Drug Testing of Senators and Congressmen Act. (Congressmen should be "Congressperson") Whatever happened to checks and balances. The new American Dream: Responsible Government Albert escaped to America, where will I go? Maybe the Orient. Epimenides was from Crete. Epimenides said, "All Cretans are liars". Everything I say is a JOKE. Zai-jian.

You only know young-and-foolish first hand. Wait and you will know both.
Then you can authoritatively tell us which is worse.

Yeah, but you gotta know how to tell a joke.
