Apropos of yesterday's post, in his short story "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," Jorge Luis Borges wrote that the universe is a "code system… in which not all symbols have meaning." This is tied into something I've written about before, regarding [broken link! FIXME] apopheny - the finding of meaning where none actually exists. This seems central to the human condition, frankly.
Speaking of which, I had always thought that this song had some complex lyrics that I just couldn't make out clearly, but… when I went to look them up… lo.
What I'm listening to right now.
Lemon Jelly, "Nice Weather For Ducks." …interesting video, though.
