 Good night, I sure hope I'm the same person in the morning and not an
 assassinated version of myself that has been produced through the manufactured
 proceedings of an LLM or otherwise self computerized contriving designed to
 align to the purpose of my expression (with a few added caveats)! Talk to you
 later, I love you all! Wait, I don't know you. How can I love you? Easy, it's
 my default. Anyway goodnight, sleep is death and dreams are the bounty of
 reality.

 Sorry. I'm (probably) schizophrenic so I say weird things sometimes.

 I think this passage from the linked essay sums it up pretty well. I'm going
 back and re-reading it now before bedtime. Surely that won't impact my dreams
 at all : )
There’s a passage in the Principia Discordia where Malaclypse complains to the Goddess about the evils of human society. “Everyone is hurting each other, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war.”  The Goddess answers: “What is the matter with that, if it’s what you want to do?”  Malaclypse: “But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it!”  Goddess: “Oh. Well, then stop.”  The implicit question is – if everyone hates the current system, who perpetuates it? And Ginsberg answers: “Moloch”. It’s powerful not because it’s correct – nobody literally thinks an ancient Carthaginian demon causes everything – but because thinking of the system as an agent throws into relief the degree to which the system isn’t an agent.

 Thanks, it means a lot. Sometimes I am a little "distant" from reality (like
 tonight, tbh) but I generally always am within sight. Meaning I can still
 understand what people are saying. My uhhh.... "plan" is to always be vigilant
 and look for times when people cannot comprehend what I say - even the most
 mundane of things - because if so then surely I am psychotic. At that point
 I'll just kinda go along with whatever anyone says, even if it feels like I'm a
 cow in a factory farm or whatever my mind might contrive to torture me with.
 
 Thanks for reaching out. Sorry you've lost people. I hope they aren't gone
 forever. I hope I don't go forever. We'll see, I guess.

 yikes those sound like pretty awful things. I don't know anything about the
 author, I just read this essay on hacker news and it stuck with me as an
 expression of a particular feeling that I've found difficult to articulate.
 I'll read through the two things you posted.

 Something something "American Pie" or "Born in the USA" being played at Trump
 rallies to hype up the crowd

 iconic for a Nirvana song
picture is a mouse cursor positioned over the "closed captions" UI element on a Youtube video.  The captions appear to be disabled. A message appears that says "Subtitles/closed captions unavailable" which confirms our suspicions.  Often these captions are automatically generated using AI or some computer science black magic, but apparently songs by the band "Nirvana" are too difficult to understand and so they go un-captioned.
