ROFL..YIKES.

I mean, what can you really expect out of a history major? It's the male equivalent of Gender Studies.

This cuts, and slanders, and wrongs Time itself. Time the Devourer. Time the End-Seeker. Time the Constant.

What is history? It is not simply a timeline + events. That is an error. What is history, when one studies it and searches it and pursues it?

I will tell you. The first thing one discovers, is that the further back in time you go, the more difficult it is to understand how the whole hung together, how it all worked. If you ask me to explain how the 21st century works, or the 20th, I can pass some fair information. But if you ask me, what was it like to sit at the feet of Black Jesus, or to learn mathematics from Black Newton, or how did people actually smell in the 15th century, I can't see the whole nor can I pass much judgment upon it.

Imagine you are looking at a mirror with one directly behind your head. Each reflection is a year. Each reflection had its own organizing principles, significant events, that shaped that year, made it distinct, and alters how the previous year looks, and so forth. Trying to understand 200 years ago is like trying to clearly see the shape and unique distortions of your 200th reflection.


There is a ratio of time past to clarity where the greater the latter, the lesser the former. The further back in time, the more difficult it is to get an accurate read on how that past actually assembled itself. This is part of assemblage theory. It rocks the house applied to historical study.

In assemblage theory, time is not an abstract timeline but is a 3 dimensional "assemblage" that moves through time, and this movement is called history. How history had to work, in its parts fitting into a thing that moved forward, this "history," is hard enough to understand when reflecting on decades one has lived through and even one's own life. Many are confused, even how the assemblage of the world is working right now! The signal/noise ratio in the average human mind ( where

= LOG ) approaches that of an ideal black body (

). This is the meaning of Smashing Pumpkins "I am One."

Which is why I am posting this here, in this slag heap of blanc mangue "is it putty or is it wax?" options Foler gives us re: brain cells, and their assemblage, in his timeline, inside the black log box of his mind. I am One.
