# Welcome!
Top tip: don't post everything at once.
(The board only holds 15 threads. Two is okay; but grabbing > 2 would get people griping).

Here are more Top Tips, especially for n00bs.

# Oh yes -- the profound truths.
(Whereas mine are basically obvious and petty).

Have you read "The Lightness of Being", by Frank Wilczek? (Physics). He makes the point that a shallow statement is either true or false, whereas a profound statement is much richer: it may be true (in some useful senses), while its opposite is also profoundly true.

(Something like that -- I haven't got it quite right.)

# i'd heard it as "the difference between a truth and a profound truth
is that the contradiction of a truth is a falsehood, whereas the contradiction of a profound truth is another profound truth"

it may have been someone paraphrasing him though. but it's a profound paraphrasing

Cheers for the tips. I couldn't figure out how to upload and post both images in the same post. Will certainly take heed of the top tips in future.
