What a pity?
    #8008600 - 02/11/08 12:15 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

"It is a pity that Marx Marvelous should amplify that peculiarly Western quarrel of science and religion. But he was so terribly ambivalent. Thrashing about within him were two of the major and vital quests of the human spirit-the search for fact and the search for value. Why did the facts he pursued prove so impoverished in value, why were the value systems he examined so contrary to fact?"

Anyone?

That's easy, even though only 10% of my brain is currently working, oh Great Riddlemeister. It is called expectation. Reality has no need to conform to one's desires or projections.

Now give me a difficult one.

You get that from a comic book?

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

How could one perceive fact and value dis-inherent ?

Sorry, cannot count that as a 'hit'. A satire is not an illustrated fantasy magazine. :nono:
