This is brilliant. Such a concise and insightful thesis. It is so emblematic for us quantum fiction writers. The Quantum Friction Section of the Friction Section thanks you.

Thank you. I'm very appreciative of your comment. But you understand, of course, that it is "suckled by celebrity Hollywood wetnurses" that led me to subscribe.

It's how I got my big start, which portends well, I hope. Thanks, mūcho, from the snarktank.

Yes, it all does come down to this, that "[. . .] life is suffering; suffering is caused by craving; suffering can have an end; there is a path that leads to the end of suffering." Could there be a more cogent explanation than yours, Jay, for the place in which we find ourselves today, too many "craving" and so creating suffering. Still, I want to think there might be a heaven to be found on earth.
