Sorry; sloth and exhaustion of an endless winter.
A song about Monism, Dualism; inspired by having read "I am a Strange Loop" by Douglas Hofstadter.

This is a link to a film I made years ago on the same general subject (which also contains a song).

to be

Here's the words to Heisenstadter.


In days of yore, young Heisenberg
That Master of Uncertainty
Stated Particles deserved
Existence only when observed
They needed Mind to Be!

Now Dr. Douglas Hofstadter
To add to to everyone's confusion
States that particles are real
But everything we think and feel...
Our minds are an illusion.

Mind of Matter; one or both?
If that's what you think, you mustn't
Matter, Mind and nature's laws
Yes, everything exists because
Of something else that doesn't!

If somehow Douglas Hofstadter
And Heisenberg should meet, I fear
That theirs would be a dreadful fate
They'd possibly disintegrate...
Or worse just disappear.

Now Bertrand Russell's Grandmama,
Had grandmaternal instincts kind...
And to the former spoke the latter...
What is Mind? Doesn't matter!
And what is matter? Never Mind!

Mind of Matter; one or both?
If that's what you think, you mustn't
Matter, Mind and nature's laws
Yes, everything exists because
Of something else that doesn't!

Reading tomes by such as these
With spinning thoughts within my head
A head that cannot really be...
A me that isn't really me
Will read a comic book instead!
