Summary: Writing about Reality and Wishes This Week

Well, this was the most fun of the antinomies by far. There’s something about reality and fantasy that makes for interesting conundra.

I found myself getting into the struggle between science and faith. And that drew me somehow to the dialog between Einstein and Freud about the possibility of stopping war. Einstein was crystal-clear on Reality and pretty fuzzy on people (or perhaps wishful). Freud was unsparing about people. So much Reality is almost too much to bear.

Anyhow, that’s it for the vomitout of the 7 Hard Problems for now. I did about 22,500 words (a normalized 90 pages). That’s from when I started the vomitout in November to now (and remember I essentially took off December to write GoLang code). Not too shabby. And certainly enough to get a flavor for the core of the book.
