“Epidemic obesity is an enormous problem. It's a pendulum that's swung too far. We have to swing it back. So it should come as no surprise that solution must be built from the ground up on the banks of this flooding river and it must be raised to a height higher than flood waters. Now what does that look like? It looks like policies and programs that cultivate healthy levels of physical activity, healthy dietary patterns in homes, in schools, in supermarkets, in neighborhoods, in clinics, in churches, in workplaces, throughout our society, every place we can reach people.”
“Epidemic obesity is unquestionably a health crisis in the United States, and for that matter, in much of the world. But it is a crisis in slow motion, one that has crept up on us over years, and even decades.”
“Epidemics follow patterns because diseases follow patterns. Viruses spread; they reproduce; they die.”
“Epidemics historically have tended to kill the very young and the very old, but AIDS is different: Those ages 20 to 40 are most affected, which means that so far over 12 million African children have been orphaned because of AIDS.”
“Epidemics of "bad" voice can kill your reputation overnight.”
“Epidemics on the other side of the world are a threat to us all. No epidemic is just local.”
“Epidemiologists-scientists who study the spread of disease-use a special number to describe how contagious a virus is. It's called the basic reproduction number, or R0 for short. It's complicated to calculate but simple to understand-it counts how many people one sick person is expected to infect over the course of his or her illness. If I'm sick with a cold and I make two other people sick, the R0 of my virus is 2. Colds and seasonal flus typically have R0 values of around 1.5 to 2. The 1918 flu pandemic R0 was estimated to be 2 to 3, while diseases like polio and small pox have R0 values of around 5 to 7.”

“Epidemiologists study patterns in order to combat infection. Stories about epidemics follow patterns, too. Stories arent often deadly, but they can be virulent: spreading fast, weakening resistance, wreaking havoc.”
“Epidemiology is an ever evolving science since predictive models have significant sensitive dependencies on initial assumptions - Tom Golway”
“Epidemiology is like a bikini: what is revealed is interesting; what is concealed is crucial.”

“Epigenetics reveals that your body isn’t a genetically predetermined flesh robot, but is regulated by a set of gene switches that can be turned on or off—by you—mindfully. Ergo, our genes aren’t our destiny. We have far more control over their expression than most ever imagined.”

“EPISTEMA DUA SUWUNG:
Liturgi Pertubrukan yang Tak Dikutip Para Dewa
I. LITURGI ASAL — Titik Singularitas dan Retakan Hukum
Pada mula yang menafikan permulaan,
jagad hanyalah retakan tipis di punggung kegelapan.
Getar tunggal yang tersesat di antara dua sunyi abadi.
Ia lupa kepada siapa ia harus kembali,
sebab ia adalah perjalanan itu sendiri.
Di kekosongan itu,
ada dua simpul energi,
bukan nama, bukan bentuk,
hanya tegangan purba
di antara dua ruang hampa
yang saling memanggil tanpa panca indra.
Mereka tidak dirancang oleh konsep keseimbangan.
Kosmos yang buta menggambar garis pemisah penderitaan:
Satu arus waktu dan satu arus ketiadaan,
larangan yang terukir dalam bahasa sandi
di pintu gerbang kreasi.
Namun gravitasi asal mula segala akar lebih tua dari hukum.
Dan hasrat purba selalu tahu jalur tembus
yang bahkan cahaya manifestasi
tak sanggup menemukannya.
Cinta adalah ilusi di alam fana.
Di median kosmik ini,
yang terjadi hanyalah:
Dua prinsip dualitas
yang menemukan retakan waktu
untuk bersemayam sejenak.
Tidak ada saksi yang menoleh.
Tidak ada pencatat moral yang bertugas.
Hanya kegelapan mutlak
yang sedikit mengencang dan membeku
di titik singularitas pertemuan itu.
II. LITURGI TENGAH — Sembah Raga di Kuil Antariksa
Kepekatan primordial tidak perlu lebih dalam
untuk menyembunyikan mereka.
Mereka sudah tersembunyi
di bawah lapisan kesadaran sebelum saling bertemu.
Arus energi mereka berkerabat dalam satu darah ibu.
Wujud fana mereka berjarak.
Di antara keduanya,
terbentang jembatan nadi yang dibangun
oleh rasa dahaga pralaya
yang tuli terhadap silsilah tatanan.
Wujud menyentuh wujud seperti dua logam dingin yang saling mengenali suara getarannya,
dua dimensi waktu yang lelah
karena terpisah terlalu lama.
Tak ada kidung kakawin.
Tak ada ikrar.
Tak ada permohonan.
Tak ada seserahan.
Yang ada hanya raga.
Wadhag yang menghafal sunyi
lebih lembut daripada mantra sejati.
Di waktu yang bukan waktu,
Hukum berjalan seperti fatwa:
Bintang raksasa terbakar perlahan di langit ketujuh,
Planet terus berputar di orbital karma,
seekor nyamuk mati di ruang hampa,
Arus cakra mengalir
mengangkut kisah-kisah Vedana.
Pertubrukan arketipal ini
tidak mengubah asas kosmik apa pun.
Ia hanya menggores
garis batas nadi terlarang
yang akan terus berdenyut dalam gelap
bahkan setelah semua wujud usai menjadi.
Mereka tidak memuja.
Tidak memohon ampun.
Tidak menyebut nama dewi atau dewa siapa pun.
Mereka hanyalah dua pusat pusaran yang bertubrukan
di medan magnet kosmos yang salah.
Medan yang tak peduli
siapa seharusnya menjaga kodrat,
siapa seharusnya melindungi keseimbangan,
siapa seharusnya tidak menyentuh siapa.
Yang tahu hanyalah suwung
yang bersemayam tepat di tengah
antara dua napas yang saling menghirup—saling menghembus.”
“EPISTEMA DUA SUWUNG:
Liturgi Pertubrukan yang Tak Dikutip Para Dewa
III. LITURGI AKHIR — Konsekuensi Niskala di Dua Suwung yang Retak
Sesudahnya,
Arus waktu berjalan lagi
seperti yang telah digariskan—
tanpa memperlambat detik Mahakāla,
tanpa memberi jeda
untuk bayangan kesalahan.
Mereka kembali
mengenakan ilusi nama
Kode genetika,
Garis keturunan,
Batas diri di Cakra Ajna.
Hanya satu yang tidak kembali:
Cara menafsirkan diri
sebelum titik singularitas itu terjadi.
Peristiwa arketipal ini
tidak meminta hak
untuk disebut penyatuan.
Ia cukup puas
menjadi residu etarika
di tepi kesadaran:
siluet energi
yang tidak berani mengaku
pernah ada,
tapi juga menolak
untuk sepenuhnya dilenyapkan.
Di jagat niskala,
kalau memang ada,
peristiwa ini hanyalah
efek kecil cermin pradhana:
retak nyaris tak terlihat
yang membuat prinsip kosmik membengkok sedikit,
sekadar cukup
untuk membuat satu simpul energi
tidak lagi lurus
tatkala memandang
asal usul-nya.
Tidak ada ganjaran karma.
Tidak ada penebusan.
Tidak ada penghakiman.
Hanya sebuah konsekuensi absolut:
bahwa setelah dua suwung saling menyentuh,
keduanya tak lagi murni hampa.
Masing-masing menyimpan
jejak bayangan.
Cidra suwung yang tak dapat kembali
ke keadaan tanpa energi.
Maka liturgi yang tersisa:
sesuatu telah terjadi
tanpa izin hukum alam,
tanpa restu moral siapa pun—dan semesta
tetap memilih bungkam.
Dalam dua suwung yang retak,
tinggal satu sabda:
yang tak diucapkan,
tak ditulis,
tak meminta maaf.
Aku mengenali kegelapanku.
Ia menetap.
Tidak bergerak.
Tidak pergi.
Itu saja.
Dan dari sana,
hidup berjalan terus—
lebih sunyi,
lebih berat,
lebih jujur,
tanpa perlu kata-kata
untuk menutupinya.

“Epistemic competence might be posterior to knowledge conceptually, however, while still prior metaphysically.”
“Epistemic humility limits certainty, plasticity enables change, but only coherence across time permits intelligence to move toward truth without disolving itself.”
“Epistemic Humility; The recognition that we basically don’t know jack s**t about life.”
“Epistemologists should be concerned with knowledge and justification and so on, not our concepts of them; philosophers of mind should be concerned with various features of our mental life and the large-scale structure of the mind, not our concepts of mind, or consciousness, or anything else”
“Epistemology is the study of knowledge. By what conduit do we know what we know?”
“Epistemology now flourishes with various complementary approaches. This includes formal epistemology, experimental philosophy, cognitive science and psychology, including relevant brain science, and other philosophical subfields, such as metaphysics, action theory, language, and mind. It is not as though all questions of armchair, traditional epistemology are already settled conclusively, with unanimity or even consensus. We still need to reason our way together to a better view of those issues.”
“Epistemology without contact with science becomes an empty scheme. Science without epistemology is-insofar as it is thinkable at all-primitive and muddled.”

“Epitaph
“love had ten thousand flowers
Bloomed on those cheeks, like an angel you came
as haste to earth and
Opened the joys breast until the sun’s has faded,
fatigued with self-heat of burden
Left the world to keep the loads to the enchanting night”

“Epitaph.
Not next year, not the next one,
Not the year after that. But ages
From here,
Clad in love stained sleeping bags,
Dying with feet wrapped in endless
Shirts and pillow cases,
Crumbling with 99 flakes clutched
Between thumb and palm, dripping
Yellow cream from twig fingers,
Basking our white haired chests on
Green grassed parks under purple
Skies. Laughing over coffee after
Bath tubs of coffee have passed
Through our guts. Huddled, lonely,
Under heaped clothes, here lay us...”

“EPITAPH Now I'm not the brightest knife in the drawer, but I know a couple things about this life: poverty silence, impermanence discipline and mystery The world is not illusory, we are From crimson thread to toe tag If you are not disturbed there is something seriously wrong with you, I'm sorry And I know who I am I'll be a voice coming from nowhere, inside-- be glad for me.”

“Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries
These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.”
“Epitaph
'On her Son H.P. at St. Syth’s Church where her body also lies interred'
What on Earth deserves our trust?
Youth and Beauty both are dust.
Long we gathering are with pain,
What one moment calls again.
Seven years childless marriage past,
A Son, a son is born at last:
So exactly lim’d and fair,
Full of good Spirits, Meen, and Air,
As a long life promised,
Yet, in less than six weeks dead.
Too promising, too great a mind
In so small room to be confined:
Therefore, as fit in Heaven to dwell,
He quickly broke the Prison shell.
So the subtle Alchemist,
Can’t with Hermes Seal resist
The powerful spirit’s subtler flight,
But t’will bid him long good night.
And so the Sun if it arise
Half so glorious as his Eyes,
Like this Infant, takes a shrowd,
Buried in a morning Cloud.”
“Epitaph on Newton: Nature and Nature's law lay hid in night: God said, "Let Newton be!," and all was light. [added by Sir John Collings Squire: It did not last: the Devil shouting "Ho. Let Einstein be," restored the status quo] [Aaron Hill's version: O'er Nature's laws God cast the veil of night, Out blaz'd a Newton's soul and all was light.”

“Epithalamium
Without silence there would be no music.
Life paired is doubtless more difficult
than solitary existence -
just as a boat on the open sea
with outstretched sails is trickier to steer
than the same boat drowsing at a dock, but schooners
after all are meant for wind and motion,
not idleness and impassive quiet.
A conversation continued through the years includes
hours of anxiety, anger, even hatred,
but also compassion, deep feeling.
Only in marriage do love and time,
eternal enemies, join forces.
Only love and time, when reconciled,
permit us to see other beings
in their enigmatic, complex essence,
unfolding slowly and certainly, like a new settlement
in a valley, or among green hills.
In begins from one day only, from joy
and pledges, from the holy day of meeting,
which is like a moist grain;
then come the years of trial and labor,
sometimes despair, fierce revelation,
happiness and finally a great tree
with rich greenery grows over us,
casting its vast shadow. Cares vanish in it.”
“Epithets are not arguments. Abuse does not persuade.”
