- Permanence doesn’t exist. Doesn’t. Never has. Never will. The concept of permanence is impossible. Nothing lasts forever. Not we humans, not the Earth we live on, not our sun, not our galaxy, and not our universe either. Certainly not the batch of dreams we hatched and pursuantly incubated when we were only knee-high to a grasshopper and still fervently believed in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the benevolence of government and the intrinsic equality of all human beings. In terms of theory, permanence and infinity belong in that same conversation, in the sense neither can be understood or logically explained with this feeble entity that passes for human intellect. On metaphysically complex issues such as those referenced, we of the Homo sapiens species can only speculate and make unsupported guesses, rendering us little different than the yak, the ostrich, and the ring-tailed lemur.
