"One Sentence Challenge"
Kim at Cinnamon Swirl tagged me with a meme from Richard Feynman, another synaesthetic:
"If all knowledge about your field were about to expire, what one sentence would you want to pass on to the future?"
Feynman's answer was: "Everything is made of atoms." That's the core in his opinion, from which you can get almost everything else.
I'm not sure what my "field" is anymore, so I'm not sure how to respond, but I couldn't pick between:
"Underlyingly, everything is essentially the same."
and
"You must respect reality over your dearest illusions."
I think my answers aren't in any particular field, but just replies about thinking in general. Languages, mathematics, physics ... it hits all of them. Even socially.
I think I prefer the first one, though ... Underlyingly, everything is essentially the same.
