[MD] The Bridge Over Paradox

Quoting Matt poot <mattpoot at hotmail.com>:

> Dynamic would usually have a higher pre-valuation, and static usually higher

Hi poot,

I doubt very much if you missed the boat, but I must have missed it since I don't
fully understand your point. But, since you introduced the time element, I was
dynamically :-)reminded of the following passage from Lila. Especially note how
the passage ends.

"There's an old analogy to a cup of tea. If you want to drink new tea you have to
get rid of the old tea that's in your cup, otherwise your cup just overflows and
you get a wet mess. Your head is like that cup. It has a limited capacity and if
you want to learn something about the world you should keep your head empty in
order to learn it. It's very easy to spend your whole life swishing old tea around
in your cup thinking it's great stuff because you've never really tried anything
new, because you could never get it in, because the old stuff prevented its entry
because you were so sure the old stuff was so good, because you never really tried
anything new . . . on and on in an endless circular pattern." (Lila, 2)

Probably not relevant, but I couldn't resist.
