Surprise versus Desire, that which exceeds and that which falls short of expectation, the creator of delight versus its spoiler: And then there is fermentation. Am I open minded as to the particular?

Our best contributions are to functioning of cognitionnot to its output. Clarity of thought is of highest value, not that which honed it nor that which it produces. I must not only defeat what error came before me but also accept that what comes after my efforts _must_ be a further improvement over my own idea and that means that _my_ contribution must be ultimately sacrificed. I must prepare the gallows for my own, presently living thoughts. What is _mine_ now is the seat wherein the sensation, “me,” sits, as the evidence of me, who I was but never quite am.
