discovery alternatives may
Walker Percy Your discovery, as best as I can determine, is that there is an alternative which no one has hit upon.

discovery nuts community
Vincent Bugliosi The conspiracy community regularly seizes on one slip of the tongue, misunderstanding, or slight discrepancy to defeat twenty pieces of solid evidence; accepts one witness of theirs, even if he or she is a provable nut, as being far more credible than ten normal witnesses on the other side; treats rumors, even questions, as the equivalent of proof; leaps from the most minuscule of discoveries to the grandest of conclusions; and insists that the failure to explain everything perfectly negates all that is explained.

selfish eye sight
Richard Dawkins Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation forthe existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind.

Nothing to lose, the present moment to gain, the integration with long-delayed Now.
