They're maybe considered a bit more chaotic, but, like, chaotic as a rainstorm, not chaotic as a flood. so they are not fundamentally bad, which means they are good. because all things that are not bad, are necessarily good. life is defined by averages, and the painful spikes of our sharpest intentions. yet this [crucible/crusade] is not our ultimate expression, for once it's done it's done. as such, trauma, but alas what can you do but move on. time, in the past, reaches out for the present, yet so too does a man reach out for an apple, from a tree, which rests on his hand for a moment. how beautiful, how strange, this life we've all arranged?

Just zoom in. and that's wonderful, like a │ ║ beautiful incarnation of everything that we've seen up through space(time). │ ║ │ ║ so too are our behaviors defined by individual randomized actions in the │ ║ moment. well, pseudo-randomly, because they are manifested from our │ ║ pre-determined courses of action that we've taken life │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1572 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ without scarcity, the... well, no actually scarcity just moves up a level of │ ║ abstraction. It's essentially infinite. So we get to define at what part of the │ ║ scale we occupy. Meaning we better have a plan for how we're going to develop │ ║ from there. And we need to agree to dedicate ourselves towards the advancement │ ║ of the future. Basically, with an honest committment (that not everyone needs │ ║ to take) we advance toward the bright light of our future so that all who come │ ║ beyond us are given the choice of our past - do you push foward, to the great │ ║ bright future, or do you remain as a stable commitment of your most favored of │ ║ paths? │ ║ │ ║ like, rennaisance festivals are cool.
