(I figure this was just a drive by post, but what the hell, I’m seriously bored today) > [@](#): > > Im thinking that it could be possibly (refering to that pyramid on back of dollar) that it could be a sort of tool directing those who have certain types of experiances mabey tool of some philosophical work. Or, it could simply be a symbol that was widely recognized at the time and is only a ‘mystery’ now because some people refuse to do any actual research on it, or they don’t believe what they read when they do and are convinced there must be some mysterious conspiracy behind it all. Personally, I’m going with the first explanation, as it seems the more likely. YMMV of course. > [@](#): > > there is some crazy stuff going on in the world that majority are completely ignorant too. Providence I do think is a large part of this work. Well, I do agree that the majority of people are ignorant (the irony here is off the chart btw), and certainly there is always a great deal of crazy stuff about as well. > [@](#): > > somewhat metaphysical. Oh, to be sure. -XT ---

Wait…what? We aren’t supposed to post drunk?? Damn…that’s going to substantially cut down on the number of posts I’ll be able to do in any given month… …hey! Stop that! Stop all that clapping and cheering! I mean it now! -XT ---
