In the city, 8 gallons minus 2 gallons must always equal 6 gallons;
measurements regarding the physical activities necessary for it to
function,
but concerning its intangible activities which gives the city its sense
of having an existence distinct and separate from its physical ones,
it has no such stable valuations;
whatever, at any moment, the city part of the mind says is true about
itself, is so,
even should it violate the rationale it employs in all its other
*****sments.
In the mind's inner-only, other-reality no one knows the volume of
a gallon,
nor weight of a pound;
the only info in there regarding the things in there has to do with
such matters as:
about the psychological causes of aggression, and the length of
god's beard.
In the open spaces outside the city's collectively controlled areas
of the mind,
thoughts are not squandered on spurious evaluations of
trolls, thoughts, fairies or words:
a man who knows is like a scientist smart enough not to try to
measure the wind with the wind (more precisely:
measure dreams of wind with but other breezy dreams).
