The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within this prison we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.
– Andre Malraux

Not that I think we’re in a prison, but it is amazing what we can conjure within our souls, if we’re just a product of random generation….not eternal creation.

It makes sense that we try to find out tribe. We want to be in a mixture of people whom we are a part of their family, in a sense, I think he made some interesting points about being a leader, but what does it also say about us, as participants?

Going to school has never been my favorite thing, especially in very structured environments. I was lucky to have had a couple teachers at the right time be more open. I really liked this talk.

I think they have interesting talks and interesting people. With my polymath mind, I like to study people’s genius and saw this talk which was just given, and I was really impressed. How much of creativity is us and how much is God?
