I've been watching clips of the David Lynch "Dune" from 1985. Underrated.

Shall I delete my comments and allow you to make the edit?“Look at the wall. Form a clear representation of it in your mind.Do you mean Fichte?
Now, look at yourself, represent to yourself internally yourself looking at the wall.
Who is now doing the looking?”

Fuck...yeah.
Haha no worries, I appreciate the correction - my response was meant to be read as a humorous admission of fault. OTL

That's a good one, though I heard it bit different ... "make a plan", but same thing. Good to see you, old friend!
I like the "make a plan" version. Depends upon one's view of whether or not one can "talk" to God.

A new Steven Erikson novel is out in hardcover. "Rejoice, A Knife In The Heart", a first-contact story. Looks interesting.

More Big Big Train, this being a nicely produced music video of the song "Folklore". Anyone familiar with the original film "The Wicker Man" (not the Nicolas Cage travesty...) may find the hairs on his or her neck rising and chills up the spine.
