Time, string theory, and everything
Front-Ranger:
From the website of Kensho:
Boy: “When you take apart a Lego house and mix the pieces into the bin, where does the house go?”
Girl: “It’s in the bin.”
Boy: “No, those are just the pieces. They could become spaceships or trains. The house was an arrangement. The arrangement doesn’t stay with the pieces and it doesn’t go anywhere else. It’s just gone.”
Do you agree with the girl, the boy, or....?

Just joking, FRiend. I love discussing deeper subjects.

I never heard the term shoji screen before, but I knew immediately what you meant, because I always thought the exact same thing whenever I read this line. .

Me too!

I didn't envison it as a shoji screen. I saw it more as a panel in a cartoon or the storyboard of a movie. You know how in the '60s there were split screen panels in movies. I'm thinking of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, also Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice. The technique was revived by Ken Burns, PowerPoint, and Ang Lee in his recent movie Taking Woodstock.

Here's the video "Don't Tell Me". It's fun!
