You and your tiny infinity

b1-66er: Closing monologue of "The Incredible Shrinking Man"

So close - the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet - like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension. I had presumed upon nature. That existence begins and ends in man's conception, not nature's. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero.

That's a good pic of the campus. I've never seen that view before. 

Random headline: "Coronavirus will probably affect you. How you can prepare."

K: OK. I devour social media and I sense a change in the wind today on the virus. The trend is for more people to back off panic and back

 off taking it super seriously. I think panic and overreaction is going to decline. It might rise again, but it's going to decline for the next few days at least.

b1: You should start a channel.

Social Media Prognosticator.

K: I'm too lazy.

In Watchmen, the world's smartest man figured out trends by watching a giant bank of TVs and figuring out the gestalt.

b1: Whoa. Nice comic pic interplay in the conversation, K-bot!

K: I only have a few points, so I might as well make them over and over.
