I treasure freedom of mind and thought and as against tides of wilful ignorance and meaningless superficiality I can quite accurately assert that where a companionship and friendship in or of ideas does not exist, the ideas themselves can become your friends. In this sense, my best friends are the concepts I inhabit and endlessly explore. Not so strange, perhaps, when all friends are – as a function of perception and the cognitive facts of our minds – are always and already concepts, ideas and abstractions. Your friends are ideas, your ideas can be friends.
