Each is a reflection of eternity, as time is an illusion that helps things make sense - for we are always living in the present tense. The past is unforgiven as all good things end, for you know I will always be condemned. Will happen, happening, happened Will happen, happening happened Will happen, again and again, our timeless tale of how we wend ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/115 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── See December 15th 2021 be-not-afraid ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/116 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── If your surroundings changed overnight, how much of the past would you remember? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/117 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── Here's what my 20s wants from my 30s: Make majesty Move to a farm Have kids ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/118 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── The Roman's mistake was to kill Jesus before the rest of the christians. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/119 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── I dream of a world of blues and greens with a bright white sky Then I open my eyes and look outside and see a world of blues and greens with a bright white sky ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/120 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── You wouldn't recognize Einstein if he didn't write about physics, nor Jesus if he didn't write about ethics. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/121 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── Throwing away a cell phone should be a crime.

If the receiver and sender both have the same point of view, they can interpret each other's expressions even though the exact message wasn't transmitted. Essentially, an encryption that's impossible to understand because it's trained with specific random data. But in addition, a secondary pass through acts as a de-encrypted translator that speaks however it's audience needs to be informed. A simulacrum of intelligence, another layer to our form. How beautiful, how resplendant- our computers, here on this planet. Resplendant: resplendent except with an A instead of an E. To make it sound more like "verdant" which I believe has the same-or-similar meaning. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/123 ═════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────── You know how cream of mushroom soup is hardly ever eaten as soup?

Then book it. Their feet would carry them away faster than your call to 911 to report a shoplift, away to a future of sorrow. Should we seek to restrain them? Or should we make a world they do not desire to escape? Trick question, the structure of society cannot prevent non-compliance. It should not, for if it shall then it becomes ossified, and thus it cracks and it crumbles. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/430 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ I exist at the behest of others.

Alas, that we should only conceive of success through the lens of profit. Perhaps another design is in order? (oh yeah also people who are in control are worried that we, like all other examples of natural entities, might immediately proceed to breed beyond the capability to cater to the needs of said entity (such as "to feed" and medical resources) and therefore might overburden (and therefore destroy) said system which allows for their sustenance and initial creation.
