ECC life

for as long as i can remember, i've periodically done random parity checks on my life to make certain i still exist...at least in the same timeline and universe.  clearly the thinking and therefore syllogism doesn't hold much metaphysical water in my books.

i try to track things i've done with particular scrutiny on gaps in consciousness - namely sleeping - because how can we really know that when we close our eyes and disappear into our wild subconscious that we rematerialize into the same 'physical' existence that we left before we closed our eyes and drifted off into who the dooze knows where?  we've made up all these quantum theories that fit the bill, but the earth was once flat too.

why do drugs when my brain trips on its own?
