Michael Dean

Businessman, therapist, artist, philosopher, outdoorsman, sailor, mechanic, and webmaster. With a penchant for astronomy, theoretical astrophysics and the occasional mind bending studies of various aspects of quanta. Currently ramping up to a couple hours a day playing guitar and writing my first record of original songs, also performing massage therapy, learning the latest fad of stretch therapist, with an eye out for officially learning hypnotherapy, and fixing up the old sailboat to be a first class yacht and get an ocean crossing going. Do I expect you to trust any of those descriptions which I have lengthy, provable, historical and current experience in? Nope. Though, if you want to purchase art that is exclusively exhibited here by Lynn and Dana then by all means happy to prove the art passion and business expertise for you.

A taste for paradox is central to the philosophies of Laozi, Zeno of Elea, Zhuangzi, Heraclitus, Bhartrhari, Meister Eckhart, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and G.K. Chesterton, among many others. Søren Kierkegaard, for example, writes in the Philosophical Fragments that:
But one must not think ill of the paradox, for the paradox is the passion of thought, and the thinker without the paradox is like the lover without passion: a mediocre fellow. But the ultimate potentiation of every passion is always to will its own downfall, and so it is also the ultimate passion of the understanding to will the collision, although in one way or another the collision must become its downfall. This, then, is the ultimate paradox of thought: to want to discover something that thought itself cannot think.
