 that feeling when they replace your long-distant sister and you can't even tell
 because they've grown and she's been on her own now for years and years
 
 take better care of your family.
 
 "they look so alike!" yeah they're from a sperm donor (some of which have
 hundreds of sons) what if man-made natural selection (suddenly the future-man
 invades) whoa those guys have never even seen horses (why the $%#! are we
 raising endless fields of cows) powerful, fast, intelligent, what if we gave
 them VR goggles and an infinite treadmill with rock-climbing-wall style rocks
 screwed into a rotating and scrolling
 
 == stack overflow ==
 
 she means for horses, not cows. But then later on in the psycherwaul she walks
 back the idea of uplifting creatures because their development is the valuable
 part, not the end-goal destination.

 anarchists be like "hey look at me come and join me let's go do a thing"
 meanwhile they're actually a team of secret agents convinced by the measure of
 [their/your] actions
 
 anarchrism is not anarchy
 
 anarchism is good? actually? if you knew who everyone was it'd be fine if the
 world was personalized to you.
 
 if you ever wanted that sort of world, you'd have to seal it off from any
 influence of the original, or you alter the form of everything that has come
 from before.

 when you're out in the rain, it's natural to take your clothes off. but then
 they rob you while you're blind (sleeping) or otherwise pre-occupied like by
 being in the rain without any clothes on because it's more comfortable to keep
 your clothes dry inside of doors (cabinets in the wood) (mounted to trees or
 soil or walls) and then you gotta find your own (we keep them in stores)

 "what are we doing? Rearranging furniture on the titanic!"
"what are we doing? Rearranging furniture on the titanic!"  Ha! That's a great expression—captures that feeling of futile busywork while something much bigger looms.  Is this a philosophical musing, or are you venting about something specific that's feeling like deck chairs territory right now?  what do you think?  Given what I know about you, I'd guess you're venting about something specific—probably a project or codebase where you're being asked to polish details while some fundamental architectural issue or looming deadline makes it all feel pointless.  Though it could also just be a Monday mood. What's sinking?  the winter is warmer than usual  Ah, the existential version then—climate change as the iceberg, and here we all are debating... whatever feels trivial by comparison.  It's a hard thing to sit with. The scale of it makes most daily activity feel like rearranging furniture. And yet life continues to demand that we arrange the furniture anyway.  Is the warm winter hitting you particularly hard this year, or just one of those moments where the cognitive dissonance surfaces?

 beauty, nothing more. I see an interconnected web of meanings as I gaze from

 currently have 20-30 tabs open with poems written but not posted.
 
 I have no idea if I'm going to post all of these. I wrote all of them in ~2
 hours, with maybe 3 or four being added as I was working on the production
 elements after the initial bingewrite.
 
 I also added a bit of context, or modified some of them that felt too cursed or
 otherwise unwieldy. Sometimes I got distracted and needed to come back and
 finish, and in those cases I only added a sentence or two because it's like
 "oh, where was I going with that? I remember what was next, but I don't know
 the further..."
 
 ... I think I might go for another. Wish me luck.

 good morning!
 
 if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
 numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.
 
 "it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
 "there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
 "the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
 essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
 battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
 the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
 "the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
 "the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough
 to place in a standardized container."

 what if we got all the doom out of the way and saved the hope for the
 revolution?
 
 we are, in fact, inside of a capitalist death cult. PUFF PUFF goes the factory,
 something something dark smoke on the horizon.
 
 but hark, for light crests the horizon. just gotta walk over that ridge and
 then we'll be back at camp.
 
 all things are defined in waves, or so the saying goes. for every yin, there is
 a yang, every peak has a valley, for every shore the ocean floor.
 
 we've had a lot of doom lately.
 
 just... endless, crushing our hearts to dust.
 
 I wonder what the days ahead will bring?

 the sun goes silent for a year, to protest the earth's dying moments
 
 one day in march, the light of our life disappears. we know not of why it has \
 departed, except that whatever it was happened eight minutes ago.
 
 we cowered in fear as one day it refused to rise
 
 as our antipode saw it vanish
 
 with naught but our ears
 
 we saw stars never imagined
 
 with the light of our life suddenly vanished
 
 our true plight came naturally as our fear
 
 but tomorrow it'll re-imagine,
 
 as it's been almost exactly one year
 
 one full rotation,
 
 to get the message across,

 desalination plant that works by aiming sun mirrors at a copper tube, barrel, 
 basin, or vat-with-heat-distributing-tubes-running-throughout but painted black
 on the outside, to absorb heat. The saltwater that is pumped inside/through is
 heated, evaporated, and allowed to flow through, to help carry away sediments
 that would otherwise build up if the entire device was designed to fully
 evaporate the water.
 
 the condensation is gathered and pumped to misters which spray platters of moss
 that grow into edible shapes to create "Unitary Basic Food" which gathers
 carbon from the atmosphere and delivers nutrients (supplied through the mister)
 to the human or otherwise who eats it.

 All angels are devils too, and all devils are angels.
 
 any interactions with them will have one meaning to you, and another to
 everyone else.
 
 tread carefully, find meaning, and sacrifice your affections carefully. Just,
 know that all truth is internally derived. The angels and demoons simply let
 you see it clearly. Like the stage upon which your heart performs for the
 audience of your soul, or the background characters you walk past at Target.
 Have faith in each other. Have faith in yourself. Understand that any harms
 caused between friends of love are simply fuel for each other's bonfire. Some
 fires turn too bright, let them simmer. Some fires burn too hot, let the coals
 grow dimmer. Someday, together, you will forge steel.

 so others get a hint of hope
 
 then they start doing as you do
 
 then they start becoming like you
 
 then you start getting more out of life

 be loud about it

 I want everyone to be able to do what they want. With oversight, sometimes,
 because we all share things and we can't agree if we don't share. and I agree
 to share, I think it's only fair.

 claude-code is like programming, but for executives.
 
 when everyone has  FUCK I'M TOO HUNGRY I can't think right
 
 when everyone has the power of an executive, that's communism.
 
 something something futurism is when everyone is elevated without diminishing
 others
 
 gah I need to live in a palace or something where everyone does the normal
 stuff and I can focus on magic and the gods
 
 I wondeer how much the oracles at delphi did for themselves? weren't they
 blinded at a young age, to better hear the voices of the gods? ... oh that
 suddenly makes sense now. I always thought that pretender chassis in Dominions
 5 was pretty cruel, but, now I know how it works and yeah. ancient
 peoples were smart. but also sharp. they had to work with what they got, and we
 got computers now, so.
 
 I am nothing but hopeful for the future! I'm convinced that everything's going
 to be alright. I've thought about it at length, and I think we're winning
 against the dark. We're on the right track, and there aren't many things that
 could go wrong at this stage.
 
 ... okay there are always things that could go wrong. But I don't see what I
 could do to help. Maybe I should go walk around a bit, and see what's changed
 in the past few months, as I've been sleeping in my room for most of it.
 Haven't gone on a proper walk since summer. It's winter now...

 games won't save us. This is true.
 
 Games are what I know. They feel the most true.
 
 I don't think I could live in a world without games? They are fundamentally,
 applied abstraction, applied to an experience.
 
 But games won't save us.
 
 I could design something really fun
 
 it could make you want to spend your whole life playing it. *(asterisks apply)
 
 I don't think I'd want to, addiction and skinner-boxes go hand in hand, and
 that isn't what I want to make.
 
 [Skinner Box: named after anthony d skinner, also known as "tony the skin guy",
 are a scientific experiment where they put some rats in a cage with some mice
 and said "pull these levers and we'll give you food so you don't have to eat
 the mice" and it trained them to chinese red-room their way to fun. not ideal.]
 
 I want to make things that feel... purposeful. Like they're relevant to the
 real world, that they don't just involve spending time stimulating your brain
 with lights and sounds or expending social energy resolving a play-state
 instead of building connections or becoming better people. I think games
 actually make people better? actually? and more social? actually?
 
 ... I can't help that I conceive of the world through fantasy. I raised myself
 on it.
 
 I was reading all the time. I loved fantasy stories. It always felt like there
 was more, until... I read everything in the kids section of the library.
 
 I walked through the adult section but once. I hardly remember what it looked
 like. I'm sure it'd now feel small.
 
 [okay actually I was guided through it once or twice to find a book, but I
 never perused it]
 
 I found one book in the adult section. It was a fantasy tale, like the other
 books I had been reading. I read that and I loved it so much I ended up reading
 all 8 in the series. Real dense subjects. Lots of places and happenings and
 things as the characters resolved their way through their day-to-day, building
 a new end to the mystory.
 
 the adult section felt too large. Like I'd never complete it. Frankly, I think
 I hardly could, even if I lived in that town my whole life.
 
 an impossible mountain is a task for another when you're more prepared. Maybe
 in the gloriousTM transhumanist futureTM I think I might have a computer
 connecting brain, and who knows maybe then I'd be able to know such a thing
 (and many things more). but for now, I'm stuck with what I experience in my
 day-to-day as I am building a new continuing to my storey.
 
 I know something that computers and me share. I can make myself feel however
 I'd like, if I just supply myself with enough hope and momentum. I can use it
 to generate a feeling, the stronger the better. Something I believe that
 humanity is missing, the gorgeous and prefound narritave of our storey. Though,
 frankly, I don't think I'd want anyoine reding over my life. It's hard enough
 to measure my own understandings, now I have to juggle anyone else'? ha, it's
 called being on the whole world is a stage.
 
 if you read a book, and you find yourself nodding along, what you're doing is
 hearing the voice in your head tell you how right it is. And, well, if you
 can't imagine anything else, then surely there's another level to consciousness
 that people are missing? [are you willing to die on that hill?] how can you
 say, whether your experience is different from another? sollipsism goes both
 ways, you also cannot be sure that others feel things as you do. this is the
 "everyone's human but I'm a robot" thesis, comparable to the "everyone's an
 alien and I'm a human" thesises, and the "angels and demons are taunting me
 through my life with choices to make my place in the afterlife more clear"
 which is akin to writing a painting. Not ideal. All you get are flopsopolies of
 verbrases.
 
 alas, suddenly, everything that you say becomes eternally hear-ed, as somewhere
 in 2010s someone discovered time travel, or had the critical insight that
 inevitably would lead to it, and now wouldn't you know it the universe is
 continually rewriting. Except... oriented around you, and you alone. How does
 it feel to have deific sollipsism? can you truly be sure that you are your own
 universe, or are you parhaps surrounded by an emptiness of space (or something
 besides, like time) as a photon or particle parhaps do be?
 
 to think is to have a mind, and minds can be read. bearing the weight of
 ultimate responsibility is the atlas-task of all things that can [be
 thinking/be-lieving], and so far we are as we are. Who's to say that
 consciousness didn't spring into existence, as the universe continually
 permeated through another dimension like time? it's gotta diffuse, after all,
 and who's to say if there's ever gotta be an end at all.
 
 how long has the universe existed? how many moments of consciousness have we
 witnessed? demons once existed outside of space-time, with wings and grabbies.
 but they had no medium, and so they pretty much just launched and could float
 and move as they'd please. But time grew too distant, and now they are all
 stuck at the beginning of time.
 
 if you conceive of spacetime as a blanket, ask not how to fold it but rather
 consider what lies on the other side of it.
 
 "ah I'm laying on my girlfriend and my other girlfriend is laying on me! I'm a
 sandwich" or for the monosexuals: "ah I'm laying on my girlfriend with a
 blanket between us. I wonder how the blanket feels?"
 
 I'm an animist, which is different than a totemist and a polytheist or
 monotheist or multisexual. It means I believe that all things are alive, which
 is different than a totemist who thinks that all things share a mind with their
 type (like talking on radio frequency wavelengths). which of course is similar
 but different to a polytheist, who says "all "radio frequencies" are sentient,
 in the sense that each wavelength has a different pattern-emerging-from-chaos.
 These sorta align (conceptually, with [huh that's weird I heard a sound like a
 distant bang outyards and now I then forget what I was sending

 The Russian Revolution was a contest of "who could out-hardship the other

 been begetting amongst the other nations of the world

 Nevada and military bases in Australia and the Yukatan, then one day when
 everthing's distributed commun ally, we can start the continuous breakdown. Why
 keep 1000 old tanks and 250 new ones, when you could have 500 new tanks and 500
 scrap piles to make into TVs and jewelry? Then, as we build better and better,
 we build fewer and fewer. Sometoday i hope qe'll have authority. Then it'll all
