The terror of the ontological instability was overwhelmed by a profound, unexpected beauty, the perfect, cascading symmetry of worlds within worlds, a dizzying architectural elegance suggesting that their entire existence was merely one facet of a vast, recursive jewel.

For a dizzying second, she saw another tear in that sky, revealing yet another layer, and another, each vista nested within the last like an infinite matryoshka doll.

Because if we can see ourselves differently, we can build differently. And that changes everything.

Maybe it’s time to revisit ideas like the Lisp Machines, not with nostalgia, but with new eyes. With AI as a partner, not just a feature. We don’t need more apps. We need a renaissance.

What if we reimagined the system itself? A machine not built to be replaced every two years, but one that evolves with you. Learns with you. Becomes a true extension of your mind. A tool so seamless, so alive, that it becomes a masterpiece, a living artifact of human creativity.

But now, with intelligence, real intelligence becoming abundant, we have a chance. A rare moment to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves: Did we take the right path? And if not, why not go back and start again, but this time, with vision?

But despite all the breathtaking advances, GPUs that rival supercomputers, lightning-fast memory, flash storage, fiber optic communication, we’ve used these miracles to mask the ugliness beneath. The bloat. The complexity. The compromise.
