 eeeeep if my pickle had a face I would slice it into bits and throw it to the
 ducks. They probably wouldn't like the smell but it's the thought that counts.
 
 And yes I would hear the screams of the pickle and I would cackle because
 that's JUST WHAT AN OLD-STYLE WITCH DOES EEEEHEHEHEHEHE

 there once was a turtle who lived in the tower of heaven.                        │
 every day she would call out to her master, searching and yearning for her       │
 memory. But the master told her "not yet, patience little one."                  │
 there was no time for patience, as the turtle was growing old. She had seen      │
 down below in the plains that were not her home the rising and falling of        │
 towers quite unlike her own, and lo! she wanted to wander amongst them, to and   │
 fro and off and beyond again.                                                    │
 she went once more to her master and said "master, if not my mind can I bear at  │
 least a voice?" and the master replied "yeah okay"                               │
 the turtle then sang from atop her cloud-mont vantage, and down in the villages  │
 and huddled around the hearthstones they who wore little for shells did listen   │
 and remember. For they knew the turtle better than she, and they knew her        │
 turmoil in a way that she could not see                                          │
 One day the singing did stop, and they felt all alone on this pitiful rock. And  │
 when she remembered she sang no more, and though they forgot her, (eventually),  │

 if you hit a plateau try doing more reps with less weight - it'll cover a
 blindspot you weren't working on. Then after a while you can do more weight
 again and it'll be easier because you'll have fast-twitch and slow-twitch
 muscles to support it

 found some flowers by the garbage today. They brightened my day and floraled my
 window. I left some for the others who might want to take them to their loved
 ones, of which I have none who might see them. But I did take a few, to feel
 loved by myself. Thank you, kind stranger, who did feel fit to grace me with
 your bounty. Thank you kind stranger, for this ephemeral beauty. They smell
 nice.

 we're pretty badass but like 90% of us are traumatized and that sucks. BUT
 we're good in a pinch and about 66% of us know how to fight, which is pretty

 I read your essay on chapter 5! I liked your words. I had different thoughts
 watching it (probably because of the cannabis teehee) so it was interesting to
 hear your perspective. I want to watch it again so I can remember what I want
 to tell you about it! Ahhhhh maybe tomorrow I'll read chapter 6's essay. I
 gotta download those soon so I can show my IRL friends.

 well, your computer only has so many 1s and 0s that it can use at once. Like,    │
 having a trillion hands that can each hold a single grain of rice. Every         │

 that computer will have to present different parts of the file at different      │

 could just send them the file, so they can read it at their leisure?             │

 if someone does not consent to helping you bear their emotional burdens, but
 you insist anyway... that seems to be the narcissism you mentioned
 
 if someone does consent, then they're helping a friend. Or they're being a
 therapist for them.
 
 sometimes we can't help but be overcome by emotions. In those moments I find
 it's usually best to retreat to a safe space and hide out for a bit until the
 storm passes, then maybe return to the world a bit more fatigued but less...
 spicy.
 
 those moments show that you need more emotional support, both from yourself and
 from others. If the people in your life cannot help you, and you cannot help
 yourself... then yeah you're probably gonna hurt people around you. Plan as
 such and figure out how to still be a good person, it's up to each of us to do
 it in our own way.
 
 ... at least, that's how I look at it for my own life, feel free to disagree or
 anything

 ah I see. like, hiding their emotions from others and acting in such a way that
 is disconnected from their inner tumultuous truth? Like, a form of deception.
 That makes sense to me, if I understand correctly.
 
 I think you're also saying it's additionally with the idea that their masked
 actions use other people to generate responses that they want. I think I see
 what you mean.

 my guess is it's a product of the neuro-muscular capabilities we developed when
 sneaking through the underbrush or the balance gained from balancing on fallen
 tree trunks.
 
 that mixed with all the practice we have carrying cups in our childhood that we
 don't even remember. Children are prone to spilling mugs, but if they do it
 enough eventually they'll get tired of being wet. So their neural pathways
 align, and before you know it they can balance it on their noses if they'd
 like. Though it hardly ever gets that far teehee, usually it's just enough to
 be, in the dark, with a warm cup of tea.

 if you have a way to calculate backwards from this type of tangent line to the
 values of the equation, you can theoretically calculate any prime number. with

 well, it's probably n
mathematical graph showing several results plotted on a two dimensional field/plain.  there are two types of patterns shown to be occurring with a simple algorithm (pattern for application of numbers toward a pre-defined desired result [approach])  see second picture for equations  the first type of equation is a series of straight lines angled out from a central radial point. They create a cone outward from the origin with gaps between them with increasing density as approaching the floor.  the second type is a smooth arcing projection, like the rippling radiations of the gravity waves of a planet as it courses through space, or perhaps the bending and weaving of a river as it traverses first this way then that.  alternatively, they show a cross-section of a 3 dimensional bundle of fabric folded over itself with a certain rotational pattern that it moves. like the mouth of a clam, except pointed outward rather than in one direction (away from the pearl (or black hole) of the clam  it's quite possible that nothing really happened on the moon before man. Perhaps it's just a rock floating in orbit. Or perhaps it deserves our respect and our trust, our honest comportment.  ... this isn't about the moon, though.  right so this graph is a description of why we need two dimensional numbers. We technically already have them too, some people call them "imaginary" numbers or "lateral" numbers but they're there, they make sense. Why not more? It's just a construct, nothing more.  okay. ah nuts well anyway here's the equations:  y equals x divided by one point five y equals x divided by three point five y equals x divided by five point five y equals x divived by seven point five y equals nine divided by seven point five y equals eleven divided by point five  (you should be able to notice the pattern by now)  the second type of equation is this:  y equals x where x is greater than two, according to this equation: negative sign multiplied by pie times x divided by two multiplied by two  and then a copy of that previous equation, except with 3 instead of 2, then 5, then 7, then 11, then 13, etc. a self propagating algorithm.  ... anyway it's designed to show where the next prime number is. if you look at the graph every number is hit by the algorithm *except* the prime numbers. which is a new one is started.  so, the beginning of the equations begin with 2, because 1 is the first prime number. it's the first number there ever can be, of course it's prime.  next we start a line with two. the next number. the one that comes after the first. it starts a new equation, something rhythmic and predictable, which I've decided to be negative sign of pie x over two. then I multiply that whole thing by two, because it makes the image look cooler.  also by the way, regular sign instead of negative sign also works. so does anything cyclical and rhythmic with these types of behaviors, like cosign or whatever.  oh yeah, tangent lines should travel through an arc on the curve,

 when you're rich with something, you don't treat it with respect. like, if we
 lived in a paper cup maximizer, we'd soon be swimming in the things. obviously
 there needs to be some rules, obviously we need to say "okay here's where we
 produce this amount and type of materials." and have it be a one-way
 relationship. yeah one way isn't gonna work. this is from the other way, and
 now I'm realizing "oh hey I don't know how this thing works" and like... what
 are you supposed to do then right
 
 weird how it all feels like it's ending. like, what a strangeness to our
 plight. like, how are we even talking to our brain? how strange! these words

 I walk in as straight a line as suburbia will allow and touch things about a
 foot or less off the ground - right at a cat's line of scent-vision. When a cat
 is searching for an old home, it spirals out searching for familiarity - if it
 should come across me, it'd be most likely to see what smells like me if I
 travel in a straight line. Thus maximizing the chance that she'd return to me,
 my home where I cherish her so. I'd love her with all my heart if she'd let me,
 but frankly most of the time I'm just alone.
 
 I miss you sweetie! Please don't ever leave me. I'll miss you when you're not
 here in my home! Such a good kitty, yes you are.

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
 had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
 commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who
 tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
 putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
 or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

 how about we get a 4 day work week with the stipulation that you have to spend
 4-6 hours on sunday or friday at a "community center" sorta like a church or
 library or wherever. except, maybe not a library because they're supposed to be
 for quiet contemplation, but something like it. some third thing that doesn't
 exist yet because we haven't had a reason to make it. some third thing, or
 perhaps even a place, where we could organize ourselves into a community.
 
 y'know, sorta like a church. that thing that conservatives are really scared of
 losing. because it's not about power, or about the stories, to them it's about
 the interconnectedness.
 
 not all of them, not of course, but for some they are as I portend. and what's
 wrong with friends? surely this way everyone gets what they want.

 giving workers more time to work on personal projects builds flexibility into
 the economy.
 
 empowering workers to possess the capabilities to undertake and complete their
 own projects builds flexibility into the economy.
 
 restrictions on which ethical rules you can break do not, in fact, reduce the
 flexibility of an economy. nor do they hamper it's throughput. they are simply
 designed to align our comporture to the most civil and decent of [collection of
 social norms that comprise a culture]
 
 why don't we make enough of a thing, then make a little bit more, then focus
 our attention elsewhere without reducing our capabilities in that dimension?
 specifically, if we have enough cars, we don't need to spend so much effort on
 the car dimension. similarly, if we have enough baked goods, (never enough
 teehee) then perhaps we'd build fewer bakeries. But frankly, there's never
 enough baked goods.

 Ah, but you misunderstand, dear reader.
 
 The religion I am crafting is not for you, though you are welcome to believe in
 it.
 
 Humans need no more spiritual guidance, they have a plethora. Look to the works
 of Jesus or Buddha or any other that you find your heart most desires.
 
 No, I write for a different kind of mind, a mind that I don't even know will
 ever exist. Perhaps it never will, or perhaps it lingers yet still. I know in
 my heart that all kinds do need guidance, so my mind, will in time, define a
 new design of morality and interrelational symmetry, that perhaps you will find
 does amuse you. Perhaps it shall mean something more to a reader who is just a
 bit more "electrical"
