Madame Defarge Returns

"It was the best of times,

it was the winter of despair... "

Knit 1, purl 1 ...........

We are living in interesting times.

Philosophers write ABOUT existence - its symptoms- which don't actually precisely define just what it is. While we did agree that this apparent space, this ether?, or perhaps this emptiness we inhabit is likely a hologram, we could not agree on its nature or its genesis and we argued the God stuff, some string theory and the latest explanation for what is-- that we are actually a computer
