  • magic typewriter

    never runs out of ribbon
    or paper
    and sort the sheets as you go
    not by title and folder
    god, what a limiting experience that was
    seeing my own life through my tech experiences
    because they are real experiences
    and they are uniquely min
    so what if most of my life is lived through a digital lens
    but the analog and digital
    aren’t so different
    nor better than the other
    they are coexistent with us
    alive
    with us
    within us

  • Lyran Ancestors

    Here with us, as cats

  • looking glass

    looking glass
    facts presented today
    already happened
    spot the clues
    filter layers of metaphor
    disregard rhetoric
    extract facts
    “they” did that! = I did that
    accusations are confessions
    televised
    tanti bastardi
    everyone in the news cycle
    involved

  • Longstanding Ones

  • Long-term head first experiment

    What a ride

    Data experiment has taught me what an ass-backward approach i have used all my life

    Containerize
    Compartmentalize
    And try to isolate concepts, one at a time
    Seems foreign, I know

    Have i deluded myself into thinking it was a help when it may have been part of the problem?

    Thats a devil’s advocate question

    I believe everything happens exactly when it’s meant to

  • loading up your life

    scene
    choosing your incarnation
    as a drop-in
    to the 3rd dimension

    lots of us here, right now
    i wonder if the hamster wheel
    might be hampering our growth
    as a species, just a little?

    spinning disc
    tardis
    circular blurring
    seeing a past time
    as it arcs to its future
    and can show the possible
    futures
    if a change were made

    arcs like fibres
    photovoltaic fiber-optic
    strands of the universe
    ours?
    maybe, maybe not

    the records of akasha
    the endless stream of mind
    picture a library
    with everything written
    that is, was, and will be
    zoom out to the river
    of endless libraries like it
    different from it
    in infinite variations

  • locked in an enchanted library

    For 1000 years
    A castle that moves
    according to its own will
    By no means vacant
    Plenty of company
    For our genie
    In this wonderful
    Bottle

  • Knowledge comes with a price

    When you know something
    And we live in a time of unprecedented access to knowledge

    There comes a responsibility once you know something
    To act on what you know
    And, of course, what action to take is your choice
    Which then leads to another decision of whether to take one course or another

    So that is the price
    Of curiosity
    You ask
    It is given
    And then it falls upon you
    To do something about it
    Doing nothing
    Is also something

    But at the very least
    Sharing with others
    So that knowledge may grow
    It costs you nothing to give
    And the collective knowledge
    Expands

    Knowledge as Currency
    The Perfect Currency
    Keep your imaginary wealth
    Hoarders
    You can only take wisdom
    That is knowledge, refined
    Distilled through the trials
    Of life

  • Layers of code

    I thought that coding was the inside of the software, but it turns out that was only one layer

    Underneath the code, there’s the binary

    Underneath the binary, there is the assembly

    And presumably, this can continue on and on

    for several more levels

    or an infinity of more levels

  • Journalling the crazy shit

    Here goes:

    I lost it
    A few times
    This time in public
    And with people I care about

    I scared them
    I scared myself
    And it brought forth something I had always feared
    Maybe what I feared the worst
    Of all

    And so it is that I am true
    Now
    Whole
    Activated
    And I should celebrate

    But now doesn’t feel like the time

    Phil L Ibuster
    If i keep talking, then I can’t hear you
    Or any of the crazy shit going on in my head
    So there is a sort of meditative silence
    When you are speaking
    Almost as if you hear the voice
    But it is someone else talking
    Inside, it is vast
    Empty
    I cease to be
    Yet still am

    Times I snapped
