“Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.”
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Interests: Nature, sports, mythology, Late Antiquity, Discworld, libraries, music.

I go out
to the pale dunes, to look over
the empty spaces
of the wilderness.
For something is there,
something is there when nothing is there but itself,
that is not there when anything else is.

We would rather be ruined than changed;
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.
