“You start to realize, my needy whiny little problems are the entire universe, even while the entire universe doesn’t give a crap what I want. That is the great cosmic joke.
And then when I’m feeling really crappy, and wondering why I do all this Zen, this little voice starts to creep in whispering, “No, no, this too. This is part of it…” And that little whisper can get you through a lot.” - Dave Cuomo
Dave Cuomo delves into Nishijima’s Four Views with SOAR!, the handy four letter acronym that explains all reality. It’s the “philosophy of action” that Nishijima humbly tells us is “the solution to western philosophy.” It’s the place where the rubber meets the road, where your subjective experience meets an objective world that might very mush disagree, and the great sparks of reality that fly when that happens. It’s the ultimate battle of idealism vs materialism with all of reality at stake! And the whole universe always wins. Also it’s a handy way to remember who and what we are at the times we need it most, and how to make a perfect plan and see it through to an unpredictable reality. Have we oversold this one? We think not, but find out here!
