Olaf Stapledon was a great writer, with eccentric, interesting visions of humanity.
It has been so many years since I read him.
and as I was reflecting a few days ago, even though I have been shaped by so many authors I have read in the past, so little detail stays with me. I should dedicate a decade or so to rereading those who have so deeply affected my thinking.

I am agnostic as a matter of practicality.
This is definitely so in terms of any organized religion, though my spiritual interests range from Phillip K Dick to T'ai Chi Chuan.
a wasted mind is a terrible thing to lose.
and, when it is all over, I'll find out if it is over or the turn of the worm.

Thanks for the cheery Stapledon prognostication.
maybe you just can't get there from here.
