I get all my knowledge about quantum mechanics and also the Shiva-Shakti model of the universe from, of all places, from Terry Pratchett !!

Between his Wizzards and Death and Wtiches, he covers almost all aspects of magic in life. And Death in the Discworld universe is a work of <superlative> creative genius. Thief-of-Time still keeps coming back in bits and pieces as I traverse the real world. And all that wizards and their L-space, wishing I could crawl into one .  In Sourcery, we have travellers holding a genie-lamp, and travelling,  inside a/the genie lamp. GEB-Hostadter wasn't so entertaining.


this might be old-monk speaking, (we're hoping the lights go out) but mark manson just combined buddhism and sartre and nietsche, putting existentialism into S-tier along with Buddhism and Science and Humanitarianism . And suddenly, it's time for nietsche, the absurd universe, choosing to bring meaning to it .. etc .... well absurd at least ( bit disappointed that Taoism didn't get into the S tier but, it's more universal and less human focussed, so not complaining)


ChatGPT says there are overlapping themes with Deleuze's Rhizome and the tenets of existentialism, specifically - "Existence before Essence", and denial of essence is the core of Buddhist Anatman. 

Swami Sarvapriyananda equates Buddhist Non-self with Advaita's Supreme self in one long lecture leaning heavily on a Tibetan Buddhist's book explaining stages of meditation culminating in .... (not for posers mmmkay ?) but this means once you practice the one-mind and no-mind become one and don't matter or something like that. or should i say "liek that" coz that's what it does to the brain

enough.
