And the continuity of our science has not been affected by all these turbulent happenings, as the older theories have always been included as limiting cases in the new ones.

If you're human, you've had phases in your life when things are in flux.

Our liquidity is fine. As a matter of fact, it's better than fine. It's strong.

Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.

When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.

Life is full of what-ifs, many of which could easily have been realities, had just a few things been different.

Things are fluid in this world, and if you don't remain fluid, you get lost in the sauce.

When a story is flying along, and I'm so into it that my 'real' world goes away, it can feel magical. I cease to be, my desk and computer ceases to be, and I am my character in his world. Psychologists call this a 'flow state,' and it's better than publication, money, awards, fame.

I do have a sense of displacement as constant instability - the uninterrupted existence of everything that I love and care about is not guaranteed at all. I wait for catastrophes.
