A Legacy

Last read: The Flies - Sartre.

Upon re-reading this, I was struck that I never fully realized before just how Nietzschean this play is. It is full of references to the "spirit of gravity", and to "my way" . This work really needs more exposure. It also has Hamlet connections, Christ imagery and few lines that could be straight out of a Neil Gaiman work, and it may even be a little Star Wars-esque in terms of the Hero's journey. Some one really needs to make a film of this.

Random Notes

Here is an article on the current state of processors. It is interesting to see how far we have come since the late 70s.

Here is a quote I found as part of the continuing existential struggle between truth and happiness/beauty:

“Suffering, I was beginning to think, was essential to a good life, and as inextricable from such a life as bliss. It's a great enhancer. It might last a minute, or a month, but eventually it subsides, and when it does, something else takes its place, and maybe that thing is a greater space. For happiness. Each time I encountered suffering, I believe that I grew, and further defined my capacities--not just my physical ones, but my interior ones as well, for contentment, friendship, or any other human experience."
