  PROTECT ME

“Protect me from knowing what I don’t need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don’t know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen. Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer.”

~ Douglas Adams ~

PARALLEL UNIVERSES

parallel universeMostly Harmless is the FIFTH book in the Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy Trilogy, by Douglas Adams.  I read all of Douglas Adams books this year, a few for the second time.  I consider Adams to be one of the greatest philosophers in human history, although, like Mark Twain, he was considered to be a humorist.  Any valuable philosophy must expose the random absurdities of human existence, which is also a definition of humor.  –  LRS
