    "Some things are beyond the mind, thus beyond understanding. The mind has to realize it has limitations. All infinite and never-ending things are beyond the mind, and the essence of everything is infinite and never-ending."-a passage from "The Present" on *the truth contest site* ...it is time to see our limitations and just know the big picture of life. The book tells you the big picture.

    Beautiful and romantic.
    I wonder though if Pico Iyer has ever been broke, and what his thoughts are on living with uncertainty - journeying through life - when you are poor.

    I've been scared of the idea of going to a foreign country with a language I didn't understand like Japan because... well, I've always said "what if I mess up on some matter of hospitality or something" and "I don't know how I would handle surviving there with the language barrier alone" (plus the additional fear of having gone to the country but not done enough), but I forgot (or perhaps didn't even know) that one point of travelling was to plunge into the unknown, into places I wouldn't be (in more than one sense) otherwise...

    that was a nice speech with some points to think about. I know that he doesn't mean to make people into walking questionmarks, but having knowledge is power, however you look at it. Although power might not mean happiness.

    That was an important talk. More importantly, this makes us think about thinking itself. How much do we really know? Here we had the US govt. say that the Taliban could never really get a foothold and here we are, in a month they've overrun the country. Do experts really know a lot? Rolf dobelli's book shows data that experts aren't that better at predicting than a random picker. What then about us mere mortals.

    Hey, TED, why did you take down Bearing's video? I didn't get to see it before it was taken down, apparently due to a copyright claim from you guys. All of his videos have fallen under Fair Use in the past, so what makes it different this time?
