A person-to-person beast, A person-to-person Universe


Jaguar: (along Ferrari, and a few others) making the world a better place


Satisfactory answers to questions asked by a person come only from a person. But there's more to it.

As the person is the supreme kind of entity that we can conceive of, the ultimate answer to the metaphysical problems concerning the Universe and us in it - existence, life, mind, body, energy, light* - not only has to come from a person (even if it were to be the very person asking the question), but it must also be a person, as you cannot satisfactorily explain the superior with the inferior.

(Just like the explanation of the exquisite black F-Type convertible beast I walked past in Pentwyn, Cardiff, when thinking this thought: it does not lie in the Jaguar's breath-taking design, sturdy materials, performance or even function, but in the person standing behind the magnum opus - or the person standing behind the showroom window, with his nose pressed hard to the glass. Because Jaguar is a person-to-person project, too.)




*don't ask me, for the time being, whether it's one and the same thing (or non-thing), check Einstein's blog in the meantime.
