Something Weird Happened on the Way to My Own Funeral

Life got in the way....as fiction distorted it.

....and so I adjusted to the goings on around me.

....and have ended up realizing that truth is a function of fiction.

Not the other way around....as popular consensus has spent time trying to convince me to believe. 

....and how does this relate to chess ?....you might ask ?

I'm not quite sure....yet. But I'm beginning to feel that truth in chess is derived outta the fiction of your (& your opponent's !) suspect moves. 

Therefore, chessboard truth is a function of chessboard fiction.

....and so on & on & on I play.

....as I win some and lose some more (as I attend my own funeral).

So. Arithmetically:

T(f) = df/dp

Where: T = Truth & f = fiction, & p = the next move (ply)

....all of it being extraordinarily dynamic (the d part).

  Uh oh, somebody↑s, 'Check Brain' light is on.    

I used to be undead.  One day I just woke up and decided to be president.  There's no higher qualification than being undead.

You NEED fiction to find the truth. Truth cannot exist without it.

You don't come upon the truth without ever going thru the underground tunnel of what is not true. Truth is not perception. That only happens in a game where there are (1-) less equations than unknowns.

Chess is not like that. It's staring back at u in your face....for gawd's sake. The truth is stalking u on those 64 squares....just ask the best players.

What makes them so good is that they overcome the board's fiction & they root out it's truth.

My highest priority right now is sleepytime. Let's pick this up 2morrow & see what happens. <3 L

(hism blism hism blism) 

Truth and Fiction cannot occupy the same place at the same time.

For every truth there lies an equal & opposite source of fiction.

Why do ppl say that truth is stranger than fiction ?

It's 'cuz their perception is their reality & fiction appears so blatantly obvious !

....doesn't make it so.

Sometimes I feel that it's easier to find the truth for the future than for the past !

Of course I'm not a clairvoyant, it's just that the past at one time was the future & I find that it seems easier to to have predicted the future a week ago than piecing the mysterious past together in virtual time.

Maybe that's why gambling is so popular & they pay u alot for predicting the future.

Take evolution for example. It remains more mysterious now than ever before 'cuz technology has muddied the age old common acceptances.

Evolution holds many fewer equations than unknowns. So we plod along w/ our Diffy-Q's & try to reverse engineer the human past. All the while our future appears more truthful than our past.

The past is frozen like a Canadian lake. Yet it tricks me w/ oodles of fictional accounts. The future actually where all the fun lies. I mean I'm trying to enjoy the present....but sometimes fiction gets in the way.

Ppl lie to me alot & it frustrates me to the point where sometimes I just wanna scream. 

I guess that's why I like chess so much. Oh well....

....and anytime someone starts their sentence w/ "Truth be told", I'm going - wait a second right there.
