The universe is an endless canvas of things and those things blend seamlessly into one another, making it difficult to differentiate them. Almost serendipitously, perception makes it possible to call out what appear to be sensory borders between the elements of the larger canvass in such a way that we may label them, categorize them and refer to them in speech.

Why-to watch the Twin Peaks reboot:

Posted 01 June 2017 | By | Categories: Text, Why-to | No Comments

Living in the era of the reboot, it’s difficult not to be jaded by every revival that Hollywood throws up onto the silver screen, all over the boob tube, or into the internet. These efforts more often resemble a Pet Cemetery-style resurrection-for-profit than a genuine intent to extend the life of a piece of art, […]

(Submission) Why-to criticize the conduct of the Iranian elections and Iran’s record on democracy, but never elections and democracy in Saudi Arabia:

Um. Uh. (Sigh) (Lip smack) (Pause) I think what—uh—we say is that—uh—at this meeting we were able to—uh—make significant progress with Saudi and GCC partners ins—uh—both making a strong statement against extremism and also—um—and also putting—e ah eh—putting in place certain measures through this GCC mechanism where we can combat extremism.

The most obvious other contender for best pet is, of course, the dog. In fact, the oldest record of the practice of dog ownership dates much farther back than cat domestication to over twelve thousand years ago.

Why-to begin with cats:

This collection will begin with a discussion of cats.  One might ask, “why begin with cats?” I thought I’d begin with something relatively simple that almost anyone could relate to.  Though you may not personally have an opinion about cats, you will probably be able to relate to the topic and may even be able […]

Why-to why-to: Life is the strangest thing around.  When you’re born, you wake up in a world already at work – dropped onto a treadmill in motion.  You learn how to carry out all sorts of tasks and develop all sorts of skills, but the reasons for learning those things are often lost in the […]
