My spiraea bushes are having their last hurrah. They are starting to drop their tiny flower petals. See you next year.

Virtue doesn't have to be complicated. Nor does it have to be a grand gesture. For example, a virtue could be simple, like doing one thing at a time or cleaning up one mess before making another. If you want a measure for approximating integrity, consider that how you do one thing tends to become how you end up doing everything.

One of the funniest things about communism is that it rests on a premise that's basically like, "Hey, once everybody voluntarily gives up a specific set of strategies and advantages, everything will be wonderful. So, once we figure out how to coerce everybody into voluntarily giving those up, we'll be set."

When you switch on a lightbulb, your eyes perceive photons, and some neurons in your brain activate. If you switch off the light, then so-called ‘off’ neurons activate. You don’t actually “stop seeing” when you’re in the dark. No; the mind physically represents nothingness in a pattern of neurons.

The phrase “nothing exists” is not a self-contradicting statement but a statement of fact. Nothing exists.
