Journal Post #11 - August 4, 2015

This is my final journal post, in the form of an original rap song called "Questions? Answers. Answers? Questions!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPELUNKERS!  EXPLORING PLATO'S CAVE!

Questions? Answers.
Answers? Questions!
Questions? Answers.
Answers? Questions!

Yeah, every question generates more
like a garden where you don't pull the weeds any more
follow the messy trail of vines up to the door
where you open it up and you just find four more

my introspective research gives me a conceptual framework
I use it to honestly assess if my practice is a lame work
I have to change up my work so that I don't do the same work
Is it hack work? Do I lack work? As I stack work do I make work?

Recursive cursive serve a volley till you swerve it
and it recurs and recurs as you write it down in cursive
subversive universive recursion spitting verses
practitioner versus practice until revision reverses

I took a mirror and I held it to a mirror
and the mirror reflected the mirror at the mirror
and the mirror reflected a mirror in the mirror
which reflected the mirror reflected by the mirror

Questions? Answers.
Answers? Questions!
Questions? Answers.
Answers? Questions!

Epistemology -- what does it mean to know?
How do I know or don't know if I know?
The thing that I know, what does it mean to say I know it?
I don't know if I know or if I don't know if I know it!

(What just happened?)
(What was the question? Is it a different question now?)
Every road of inquiry leads to intersections
where the nature of your research isn't safe from redirection.  Peace.
