G-d

These are my behind-the-scenes lab notes about life and work and everything in between. They may or may not make sense. Enjoy! If something resonates, tell me.

  • G-d instead of writing the ‘o’
    • Because respect (avoid erasing/disrespecting)
    • Capital letter. Respect? Or just proper noun? Research.
  • You-Know-Who in Harry Potter
    • Because fear
  • Names are only crude representations, but our minds create association between name and thing
  • “Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.”
  • Even if my spiritual / metaphysical beliefs and representations don’t depict a distinct entity god, having rituals as reminders of the importance of metaphysical concepts may be appropriate
