all zeno paradox

motion is illusion said zeno some time ago. you can't beat the tortoise, might be another way of putting it. all revolutionaries seem quaint and naive after enough time passes. i am embarrassed for them, and ashamed of myself for that. Still, whether it is a lamp or a cat, there is paradox around us, no matter the calculus or any other such debunker. i don't know when a thing comes alive or passes away. i don't know when the lights are on or off. I cannot percieve the moment i fall asleep, nor the moment i wake. i cannot tell when love begins or ends. change is constant it has been said. nothing is certain but uncertainty. all things are and are not at once. or not. it is hard to tell. zeno has been dead for a long time.
