Two men standing in the heart of the city are talking and the first one says:
“Only people with serious thoughts get in trouble,” to which the second man counters:
    “But only people with serious thoughts ever accomplish anything here,”
and the first man muses: “Damn! –  he's got me there.”
(Note: In the neural structure that is the city, it is easy to play, Got Cha! on someone;
all you have to do is find someone who is alive and thinks normally.)

Science is the mind’s search for the reason the physical world is as it is;
culture is the mind’s search for why man’s intangible world is as it is;
science has yet to answer its question, but culture could:
man’s intangible world is as it is because that is how the mind wants it to be.

Conversation.
“Every dumb-ass wants to know what an Enlightened man has for breakfast  –  hah!  – 
as though that played any part in his accomplishment.”
   “Wait  –  are you stupid enough to say that it didn’t!?”
“Oh! --  you're right, excuse me, it must be something I ate.”
Thus concludes another exciting episode of:
“You Can't Have It Both Ways.....Unless You’re A Human.”

In an apparent attempt to bring some closure in his personal life to the question of exactly how much free will, if any, a man has in his individual life, one guy has decided: “If I get really sick  –  I'll just die.   There!”
(Feel free to interpret this particular news story for yourself.)

An ole sorehead’s cousin reflected as he looked in a mirror:
“Having a truly good friend can make up for so much in life
that it almost makes me wish I liked me better.”

(Okay, a bit of assistance): In an apparent attempt to bring some closure in his
personal life to the question of exactly how much free will a man has in his thinking, one guy has decided:
“When I start getting mentally sick  –   I'll just go ahead and die and be done with it.”

Men love to pass along that which they do not possess  –
thus be the origin of advice (but do note):
through this process, needed second-reality energy is circulated.
   Of more detail: By causing men to be in constant verbal contention regarding
the value or lack thereof of the advice they endlessly proffer to one another,
Life is aptly able to formulate, consider, sort out and distribute all manner of initially curious and improbable possibilities.
   Of even more specific application: The man mentally working to crack-the-case,
does this by his self  --  on his own.

City Fact For The Day.
Many things inspire many other things.

Telling you
what Life wants the herd to do,
is not all the mind is good for.

Patting his pocket, one man said:
“As long as I have this one good dollar, I'll never be broke,”
and a second chap injected:
   “But what does that mean!  –  all dollars are the same; one is as good as another?!” 
The man patted his pocket again and replied:
“You don’t get it  –  it’s the one good dollar that you need.”
(FYI: Using economics as a metaphor for man’s mental progress is one of the funniest parodies
ever played on economics  --  and ordinary men’s minds.)

Advanced City Fact For The Day.
Everything that appears in that sector of the mind spawns something else.
   (“It’s a natural fact, Jack: You can't keep second-reality down.  It’s eternally out of control!  –
      just like it’s s’posed to be, Lee!”)

All that the restless seek resides where the restlessness arises.

Second-Reality’s Secret Survival Strategy.
“As long as I'm talkin’  –  I'm still alive and have a chance.”

Dialogue.
“Symbols can be impressive things.”
    “Indeed, making the timid of mind feel forceful.”

Here analytically dissected is ordinary minds’ idea of heaven:
A place of uninterrupted, predictable sequence (once the factor of death is removed).
“Okay, boys and girls,” cried Incontiguous The Clown, “it’s that time:
remove all your pieces from the board....
swap them for your opponent’s pieces......
now you can start playing: Learn To Actually Think!”

Note: Symbols are also impressive to an awakened man.             Got cha!

Embedded in city dweller’s genes is the reluctance to trust one’s independent thoughts but to always look to your superiors for mental guidance.

In response to a complaint by the Numbers Higher Than Three Lobby, the following:
There are four types of unconventional thinking:
