Bliss Theory
Considering what bliss ignorance is supposed to be,
it is no surprise if conceptualizing Bliss
kicks up a hornet's nest of deep thoughts
on self, truth, beauty, meaningfulness, value, logic and evolution.
May you enjoy the reading as much as I did the writing.

organismal internal-process lexicon, which tightly fastens reality to
internality of thought, language, and logic.
