[from amaah] Unknown knowns

He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student. Teach him. / He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a menace. Avoid him. / He who knows and knows not that he knows is our Attorney General. Impeach him.

[from amaah] Return to Paradise

Though he coined the name "Pandemonium"—"all the demons"—for the palace that Satan and his fallen crew build in Hell, he also coined the word "self-esteem," as contemporary a concept as there is and one that governed much of Milton's lif

[from amaah] Zen and the Art of Walking into Lampposts

The three basic techniques of walking into a lamppost have remained remarkably unchanged throughout the millennia. A successful "lamppost-body conjunction event" (as the scientists have designated it): nonchalance; surprise; and pain. All of these are pos
