as i said to a pretend priest

"no i do,

i understand god better than you

we are made of goo

on a wet rock perfect for hosting a zoo

powered by sun, magma & moon

honed to cooperate over eons

interpenetrating resilience blessing the new

species—the new points of view"

—you mean compromise?
—there's always a point where you have to stop torturing yourself & play the percentages… you're afraid of committing… you have this desire for perfection
—what's wrong with perfection?
—nothing, if you're god, and you're prepared to wait 500 million years for it to evolve

calling chatbots catfighting meaningless is like saying "it's ok, our robot passenger planes only attack each other when we remove damage costs from the simulation"

a clue why we're racing into this apocalyptic nanobabelization is we also just unleashed sports betting

"please use chat responsibly"

❝ Recently he asked a friend to help him identify some cutting issues for next year's campaign. Instead, the friend suggested that Bush go alone to Camp David for a few days to figure out where he wanted to take the country. "Oh," said Bush in clear exasperation, "the vision thing." ❞

where am i writing—the last piece i remember was—no i didn't write about superman, hilary bader—well it's true pessimists discourage people—but that doesn't make encouragement 'optimistic'—encouragement is NORMAL

it was something about landscape—texture—how long it takes to say "tree" with a guitar

hey hey⠀⠀⠀  every day
bop hey⠀⠀⠀ every day⠀

a book is saying the place of refuge in drawing is the line

eight thousand years i still don't feel words that way

it's not abstract—you must factor love in

slap a sticker on it says "embrace"

turn to fire, burn away

❝ surely the fact that most of the language we encounter every day is blatantly insincere, inflated advertising has something to do with the awfulness of our shared contemporary culture

it’s a disease that infects us all, yet it appears that we no longer trust language enough even to discuss it ❞

in a footnote i see "Gamers will not be able to manually save while on a crusade in Cult of the Lamb; they must complete it and return to the cult before they can save the game."

i don't see magic answers for xbox, except occasional cloud save issues

much can be argued, i'd say the reagan pro-scumbag 'revolution' undermining new deal & great society was the primary headwind

second was radical individualism

third was the environmental tragedy of airborne lead poisoning 'confirming' jim crow race tropes

fourth was wonderful people dying young
