Infinite monkeys and aeons ...

If you put an infinite number of monkeys behind typewriters or a finite number of monkeys with an infinite amount of energy and aeons, eventually one, somewhere in time, will bash out the script for Hamlet.

Would anybody appreciate random fluctuations of vacuum?

Anyway we are currently appreciating the result of a Big Bang, this universe among infinite possible worlds.

From "The Library Of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges:
"The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries [...] all permutations of the twenty-two letters are provided in the countless but not infinite number of books [...] If an eternal traveler were to cross it in any direction, after centuries he would see that the same volumes were repeated in the same disorder."

Knowledge cannot be consumed
but it increases, spreads and improves through its rational use, as its use by adopters does not diminish the extent of the resource available to others.
We shall feed, encourage, exercise and diffuse Knowledge.

We cannot expect anything from nothing.

Even vacuum or tabula rasa is not nothing, as there is at least a structure and a plot, on which positive minds may start working.

Ed è subito alba.

Chimeras

the sleep of Reason produces monsters...

but such monsters are not so ugly as those generated by the sleep of Nature

when it is violated by an unresponsible and unrespectful application of Science.

About Genius

Most geniuses are persons with a different way of using their eyes and brain when looking at the same phenomena perceived by the rest of humanity and when giving importance to details which are not considered so relevant by others.
But, in my opinion, Genius, like Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder as it cannot exist without any observer.

I would say that the genius is a person who is recognized as a genius by a human society, not necessarily a contemporary society, after having been observed by other men and remembered by them while in the acts of ...

• discovering an isolated tree with a new kind of fruits, in an unexpected place reached after running through unexplored paths,


• picking and sharing only the good fruits of that tree


• selecting and using some of those fruits to generate new trees.

the object of discovery may be also a trivial and known tree observed by the genius through a completely different point of view.
