Otaku
The word otaku refers to individuals who are highly skilled, often to the point of obsession, with technology commonly to the detriment of classical social skills. Typically the word suggests an obsessive loner with few friends who rarely leaves the house. What most external observers fail to realize is the degree to which such individuals lead fulfilling social lives engaging with, and developing, virtual social networks inside cyberspace.
Madness takes it's toll. Please have exact change.
Ooops.
I think I've discovered the Higgs particle. So I've got the only one of them (if you have 2 it gets really problematical). How much it weighs is not the issue, it's the ratio between how much it weighs and how much it doesn't weigh that's the issue. Seriously I could feel it vibrating in my brain. It's a hole you see, which leaks in two directions and three colours. I've also discovered what it does. I've mixed up the odd metaphor to hide it, so when you're thinking of this particular elephant don't think of the elephant. I'd say more, but there's a serious copyright issue I need to resolve first.
Definition: MU
From Zen and the Art of Motorcycle, by Robert M. Pirsig
"Because we're unaccustomed to it, we don't usually see that there's a third possible logical term equal to yes or no which is capable of expanding our understanding in an unrecognisable direction. We don't even have a term for it, so I'll have to use the Japanese 'mu'. mu means 'no thing'. Like 'quality' it points outside the process of dualistic discrimination. mu simply says, 'no class; not one, not zero, not yes, not no'. It states that the context of the question is such that a yes or no answer is in error and should not be given. 'Unask the question' is what it says."
Mu becomes appropriate when the context of the question becomes too small for the truth of the answer. When the Zen monk Joshu was asked whether a dog had a Buddha nature he said ``Mu,'' meaning that if he answered either way he was answering incorrectly. The Buddha nature cannot be captured by yes or no questions.
That mu exists in the natural world investigated by science is evident. It's just that, as usual, we're trained not to see it by our heritage.
