Picked up a nice copy of the Diamond Sutra with commentaries. I need to spend some time looking at some technical details of the doctrine of Anatta, but I have more pressing concerns (like Hawkins' book On Intelligence and the usual several book clubs a month). Devil you do, devil you don't. I study Anatta, I get crossed on Hawkins (likely Monday), I neglect Anatta, and be caught flat footed arguing with a Buddhist. Where is the Matrix and downloadable knowledge when you need it?

I'm almost at the end of the fifth book of A Song of Ice and Fire. The 6th is still in the process of being written and comes with an estimate of 3 years away :(
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

A rant by any other name is just as sweet
