Is it wrong to ask where is that Bichat?

 The most insidious thing to enter our culture is the punvolution. I have written on this topic before, but here is a brief recap. I was at Michaels. I saw some Halloween decorations. They had a lot of witty puns, things like, "Time to stir the cauldron, witches" and I thought to myself, "This is what happens when the world is smaller." 

Being clever is a huge part of what it means to be an intelligent person. I say it is going to be akin to my last blog though, I see it coming, an age of stuffiness. The idea is that, and we will get into this, man has created of himself a supreme being. What he has known he knows not, and what he now knows, he did not know before. It is an enormous leap for mankind, ...

These past twelve or so months I have had my eye on a number of things that turn out to be very true. For instance, there seems to be a sort of retrogradation in mankind's use of his knowledge. This was my opinion, I cannot speak for billions of people. However, as it is evident by the mass of out of control, emotional, and politically offended youth, as well as numerous others who will go unnamed who bear a likeness and are obvious to any thinking person, I am sure we are in retrograde. I decided a little while back that there was a sort of peak around the age of enlightenment, which then started us into a steady decline. This was my belief. But then studying a lot of ancient civilizations and the bible, I came to see that the decline was something that happened much longer ago, perhaps before recorded time.

Which brings me to the topic of this blog! I found out today that there was once in many ancient cultures a 13-month, 28-day calendar. This was an assumption I made because I was remembering that 28 is a perfect number and as I have been interested in science this past year as well, I was looking at the exactitude of the form of all things. The day before yesterday it was the golden ratio, the turn of of the waves and the spin of the galaxies. This is an unbelievably awe inspiring thing to be able to witness.

So remembering about the number 28, I thought it might make sense that the calendar was once this way. I have not been able to solve that problem yet. Only that old ancient calendars were, and more interestingly, that some really ambitious people were also interested in doing things the old way. If you take a look at the article that was just shared, you will see that below a more modest attempt to reawaken the ancient, is a very, almost funny, idear about naming the new 13-month calendar, with the names of all the smartest people as the new months of the year. Neat idea. I was born in December and, not probably truly as math would play into it, but I would now perhaps be at end in the month of Bichat.

I was excited to learn about a new genius, a doctor. His claim to fame was having discovered that there are 21 distinct tissues in our bodies, and in this, like all modern scientists, had decided to do away with organs and focus on the tissue's making up the organs. Not an entirely bad idea and most likely a good approach to an opening class on quantum physics.

I cannot wait to delve further into the productions of the calendars from here. I want to look at the names of the months, and the different calendars from ancient times. I wish there was any way of knowing what life was like in pre-history. I am interested in what was learned by the ancients, by who and why they were so inspired. It will be for a moment, and then perhaps I can think about what consciousness is again. It is something that I have no trouble forgetting about. Being as I am always thinking thinking thinking....
