It seems that paradox is at the heart of IT.  The impossible yet inevitable dancing together in perfect chaotic harmony.

I agree that it must be experienced.  Words will never suffice, or any other expression of experience.  Even someone with the gift of gab on the unspeakable like Terence Mckenna, can only really describe it in a way that has any real value to people that have had their own experience with IT.

When I listened to this talk it felt like my brain was going to melt.   The words pulled form and imagery from the soup of concepts that churned within me for many years. 

I love how we still contemplate the same things the great minds of history have for thousands of years.  Theres no getting away from it, and there is no getting to it.
