When symmetry is broken then the nature of reality gets represented to us in terms of clashing opposites. This is actually the only world we know - the World of Conflict. The conflict goes on and on and it will...

Our normal form of consciousness is one in which we are endlessly fascinated by trivialities of one sort or another. We are lost in trivialities, we are lost in endless, all-pervading superficiality. This is ‘conditioned consciousness’ - it is awareness...

A closed world is a world that has a tight lid on it - the qualification here being that we don't know that there is a lid. We never see the lid, we never see the limits that are holding...

A 'game' is a state of conflict - an ongoing state of conflict. The point of the game is therefore to bring this state of conflict to a satisfactory conclusion (and we could add here that there are two ways...

It's impossible to be in Rational / Purposeful Mode and yet at the same time be 'in reality'. That just can't be done. When we think about things then we're not in the real world, and when we deliberately act...

Any artificial situation is always going to be balanced by the equal and opposite counterpart to this situation. This is how it always is with artificial things, and we shouldn't really be too surprised about this - what else would...

Logical statements may come across as being immensely impressive, as being impossible to argue with, but they don't mean anything, not really. With regard to the ideal (or formal) world that our statements necessarily assume they can mean something, but...

We don't understand what ‘a game’ really is, even though we think we do. A game is a game we say, it's where we all pretend something is true when it isn't. What more is there to be said than...

When we can see past our goals then our goals are serving us – they are helping us in a practical way in this case. When we can't see through our goals however then this changes everything; when the goal...

The finite will always negate itself, time and time again it will negate itself. This is because the finite is not real. The only way it can get to seem real is if we look at it in a blinkered...

The laziest way of life is simply to copy what everyone else is doing, so that we don’t have to work anything out ourselves! Everyone copies what everyone else is doing and - as a result - no one actually...

When we tune into the ongoing question of “What happens next?” then this is life - this is all there is to life (i.e., there’s nothing else outside of this). All there is is the ‘unfolding moment’. When - on...

The Defined or Positive Identity is the Supreme Number 1 Attractor State in the equilibrium-seeking system which is society - it's not Rome that all roads lead to but the self. Or maybe ‘Rome’ is a symbol for the self...

In order to understand finite games all we need to do is imagine ‘a Mover who moves but is not in turn moved, ‘an Influencer who is never influenced’. To be the ‘Unmoved Mover’ is the goal of all finite...

This is the characteristic human activity - to be constantly and untiringly striving to prove our own nonsensical assertions. We can never prove them (because they are nonsensical) but that doesn't stop us trying! We can't actually stop trying, when...

A 'game' can be neatly defined as ‘that set of prescribed actions which comes into being as a result of following a particular set of arbitrary rules’. The activity that takes place in a game is unfree therefore - it’s...

We tend to think that we are extracting the maximum amount of information when we measure and tabulate everything, when we define and classify everything in sight so as to make everything definite or certain, so as to end up...

All identities are created by thought - there has never been such a thing as 'an identity that hasn't been created by thought' and - this being the case - we might wonder why we place so much stock in...
