Forwarded to me by a friend:
Thought y'all might get a kick out of this quote from the very large
novel "Gravity's Rainbow" by Thomas Pynchon. I've never seen
anything
that appeals to both the audio geek and philosophy major in me quite
this succinctly:
"In his electro-mysticism, the triode was as basic as the cross in
Christianity. Think of the ego, the self that suffers a personal
history bound to time, as the grid. The deeper and true Self is the
flow between cathode and plate. The constant, pure flow. Signals--
sense data, feelings, memories relocating-- are put onto the grid, and
modulate the flow. We live lives that are waveforms constantly changing
with time, now positive, now negative. Only at moments of great
serenity is it possible to find the pure, the informationless state of
signal zero."
There you have it. The vacuum tube as a metaphor for consciousness.
Also makes sense of why a lot of people bother me... their psyches are
