Harold and Maude


Dilettante has a son Harold & a daughter Maude.

The oldest movie he’s ever seen is Forrest Gump, from 1994.

He’s only seen 17 films, from beginning to end.

Dilettante once dreamed he was inside a Klingon television show,

portraying a human being from the united federation of planets.

Dr. McCoy says, "wallets wrapped in amber" & it appears,

"apparently anything that can be created

which is also aesthetically pleasing, is created

Upon its signifier's utterance..."

This planet is run by fashionistas, etsy crafts folk.

WTF Klingons?

Which reminds Dilettante of the episode of Frasier

where Frasier ends up speaking at his son’s bar mitzvah

because his baby mama is named Lilith

jewish & but frasier

pisses off his friend who was supposed to translate his speech,

so his friend translates it, but into Klingon.

Which reminds Dilettante he wants to make a short story with this premise.


Dilettante says Sam Harris's motto is --

Tolerance (n):

The virtue of those who believe in nothing.


That the Great Person should be able to appear & dwell among

you again & again.

That is the sense of all your efforts here on earth.

That there should ever & again be men & women among you

able to elevate you to your heights:

That is the prize for which you strive.

& if you are not yourself a great exception well then be a small

one at least!

& so you will foster on earth that holy fire from which genius may

arise.

Friedrich Nietzsche.


Dilettante decided to experiment with Evolution, to at least read a

book about it, against the better notions of his parents, his pastor,

& his teachers.

He read Darwin's On The Origin of Species

under the covers at night so that no one would find out.

He became a Darwinist & things were good, & more importantly,

made sense.

For a while.
