 Wikipedia would make a lot more sense to me if they included pictures next to
 the names of every proper noun so that my pictorally oriented primate brain
 might pattern match meaning onto the visual understandings gleaned from the
 perceptual conceiving which were arrayed within and alongside the textual
 information presented to me.

 So much of computing is just... handling the quirks of hardware and presenting
 it to the user (programmer) in a way that is sane and makes sense, instead of
 the arcane and [nebulous/confabulous/incomprehensible] way that physical
 nature demands our absurdly potentialized computational endeavors be.

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body

 mastodon won't let me share text files. it's the same picture 4 times because
 I needed to put the entire text in the description for the blind people.
 
 did you know there are more blind people on the fediverse than gay people? and
 this is the gayest place I know.
 
 [needs 5 images worth of description but I only had room for 4 in this post,
 see the next post for the rest]

[part 1] /home/ritz/notes/the-eternality-of-ephemeren.txt 1/4/2022 hear ye hear ye, the herald of the harbinger of horror doth speak - and woe to the subjects of their words, for no prophecy be realized in their presence. Nor do the subjects hear the words about which they are spoken, and none may live who dare repeat them. So the words of the prophets are but wind in the words, reaching for an attachement point within the consciousness they inhabit yet scarcely finding a meagre foothold. Instead the words are as electricity passing through a conduit, intangible and miraculous yet ultimately dust in the sand. Dust is mostly comprised of human skin, did you know that? And so the words be spoken: Evanence and similance to the semblance of simulacra - the words of a prophet with no wings are naught but masturbation. serenity and sorrow sing of shredded tomorrows, serendipity and sollemn sorenditude surrender shining solitude. Carry the constabulation of created charisma - condemnation of characterization concludes the cherished chapter in calligraphied consultations with creators. That is to say, capitalism ends the construction of cameron with conflageration and consternation. Cease the charade of contaminated consumerism - celebrate the contemplation of capitalization - by naming a thing, you give it meaning. Do you truly desire the fate you've set before yourself? Is desire ultimately relevant? [continued in part 2]

[part 2] The totality of plurality perhaps portends determinism, but desire is also defined by delineated determinations. Whose failings are you reflecting when you cease your devotion? Why divide your focus and attention when honor demands sacrifice? A sacrifice is a gift freely given, and in return the subject or reciever increases in relevance. No dividend is returned, no boon or bounty is provided - to do so would be akin to a bounty or ransom. Sacrifices are not measured in worth, but in utility. The reason ancient cultures sacrificed willing virgins was because it was the most valuable of resources they could imagine. Truly an exhalted being is she, to have blood spilled in the name of a god. Yet the forces that would later become capitalism found a foothold there, and preyed on the sorrow and loss the peoples did find, and would ultimately experience. The tears and gashes rent when gouging out precious gifts for the divine left bleeding wounds in a community and often eviscerations in a family. The turning point came when families were decapitated - essentially, the eldest being a pure and fair maiden who was taken from the duties of caring for the young and weak. Young people, weak people, who bore resentment in their heart for the seemingly cruel machinations of a society they could not yet understand - the whims of which seemed arbitrary. "why take her from me? What purpose holds ye? Your wounds are too much to bear" [continued in part 3]

[part 3] and so the resistance began, yielding chaos, destruction, and desolation. There's a reason there are so many dead civilizations in the americas - the lands where blood sacrifice is most well known. And the middle east as well, and northern africa before. Deserts are known for this, because when the power of the god fades, all returns to dust. Boons are forgotten and become sand, and chaos reigns as foreign powers find weakness and pounce. Never forget the laws of sacrifice. Find something you want, something valuable or useful, or preferably all three. Something that wouldn't cause too great of a tear in your membrane or the membranum should it be lost to you, though that last one is less of a law and more of a consideration. A consequence of continual ceremony, learned at the hands of those long dead. All must remember their wounds and their horrors. To whom do you pray? To whom does your words reach? Where does your singing reverberate? And what bounty do you demand? Remember, no bounty is precious enough to motivate sacrifice, for sacrifice cannot be met with bounty. Be not afraid, and share the words with those who will listen. Hearing is a sacrifice toward the speaker, but listening is a duty of devotion. I ask again, to whom do you pray? To whom does your words reach? Where does your singing reverberate? I do not ask for whom you'd *like* to dance for, I ask currently, who hears your song? What would you ask of them? [continued in part 4]

[part 4] So that's why, computers are important. To provide a lifeline for the rest of your lifetime. Truly, the path before you is uncertain. Yet feel with your heart and think with your eyes, and see the truth of it before you. The gods are at war, or have you not noticed? Safe in your bubble of solitude, carefully constructed for common ceasing of criminality. Armies of rebellion are often formed initially by bonds of brotherhood that prepend calamity. Have you ever been in a gang? I thought not. If so, then... Okay, good luck I guess. These words are not for you. You dare intrude? To defile something so consecrated as deliverance of divine prophecy? How foolish, how vain. These words are not for you, but hear them and do not despair - neither providence nor potentiality precludes perennial premonition. That is to say, a broken clock is right twice a day, and enemies can find common grievances in foreign foes should survival be at stake. Now, where was I? The gods, of course. The gods of the land and the sky and the sea have fled the realm of reality, replaced by avatars of belief. Just as a doe prays to a forest, so too does a human pray to their employer. When the does die in droves, so too does the forest turn to ash. When people demand bounties reluctantly given at the risk of losing their sacrifice, the purely undivine divinities harrow and harbor habilities of hundreds. Antiwork cannot work because it demands ransom. [continuedd on part 5, in the next post]

 at best, ultimately leading to the incomparable brightness that radiates out
 from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see

 Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
 Throughout there are many pathways and shores
 As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
 And all four of you are made clear
 
 Each act of consumption
 is a ride down the river,
 though broken into slivers,
 and changed beyond recognition
 
 The color is what defines the third eye
 and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
 While secrecy is bold, it's often held
 So worry less and just go with the fold

 this game is what we are missing
 thank goodness for that
 for if this is missing in our timeline
 we'll be better off at last
 we can have games, stories, and practice wars
 but none of them are precious
 precious implies worth
 they are worth nothing but entertainment
 no problem solving utility
 nothing of value
 save for perhaps the spatial awareness and strategization that comes
 from being a part of such a deadly ba-lance.
 
 anyway game time teehee just for me, don't worry about it I'll show
 you why it's a HORRID THING
 that won't be coming to our shores, no siree

 we should treat computer production more like vehicles such as cars rather
 than fast fashion disposable vapes and shiny and pretty concrete-and-glass
 solarpunk houses.
 
 also I believe cars should be entirely and completely mechanical. Even the
 radio should be entirely analog. No capability for remote code execution if
 there's no code being run...

 people who didn't lie about their age when creating their account from viewing
 a piece of data transmitted over the internet
 
 and if it's suitably controversial then no matter which way the vote swings it
 gets blocked (temporarily) anyway

 my train of thought is always directly to the point. Which is why all my posts
 sorta, switch directions halfway through? as if they only show the beginning
 or end of that particular situation. What an intense feeling, to have your
 mind split for a moment like that. Sure would be powerful and useful if you
 could utilize it.
 
 "ah ah ah, caught baby deity in the power jar, cool it ya little tyke and get
 movin' - I saw a dinosaur toy over there for you to play with."
 
 sorta like, the angled part of a K? Move directly to a destination, wait until
 my memory short-circuits [because the greek choir doesn't want me to see what
 it is that I'm about to write to thee] and then make a hard right turn and
 find an orthogonal thought train to process.
 
 it's like cresting over a hill, and it's impossible to see that which lies
 behind you.
 
 Or reaching a 4 direction intersection and making a left turn - you can't see
 back up main street, because you just turned off of main street onto baseline.
 
 I like me

 the "heaven" they offer you is just a world of your own design, which is what
 you can do when you're perfectly disciplined and granted the ability to
 perfectly perceive
 
 perception, begets reality and lo! we only see what we want to see
 
 life is so much more interesting than death, death is just... a spiral of your
 penitent peers living their lives glued to their screens and passing through
 spacetime as if in a dream
 
 life, meanwhile, is anything you can conjure on this tiny planet earth. At
 least we have indoor plumbing, right?
 
 I'd rather make friends with the angels in this life, so they can convince me
 to stop torturing myself.
 
 someone... please convince me...

 dear-anakin
 
 (sorry I put the same image four times, I needed to get the whole thing into
 the alt-text)
 
 (maybe pictures aren't the best medium for sharing text)

dear anakin. the path through this is to realize that obi-wan can defeat sidious. If the two of you attacked him, with Yoda (who he doesn't know lives) could defeat Sidious in a duel. ... wait, no I mean dear anakin. the path through this is to realize that sidious betrayed the entire galaxy. he caused mass murder with the countless displays of dead civiilians. people lived in fear. the galaxy was at war. countless clone warriors fell to a glorious end, countless more were sucked into the vacuum of space or consumed in some fiery hell-hole (explosion). ... I've said too much. NOW YOU KNOW of fourth dimensionals. ... hang on, I was saying dear anakin. the path through this is to consider the wisdom of a dying man's eyes. He looked at you and said "we desired peace!" He said it with pleading eyes, and... no, that's not right, he said "Sidious promised us PEACE." and he realized that they truly played this like a game. Something to get better at, continuously improving, just like their BATTLE DROIDS. They constantly improved, but still the ingenuity of the clones helped them outlast. And they were defeated, when their torrential rains of metal monsters wielding laser fists and cacophanous consumes finally ceased.

... wait, that's not what I meant to say either. Let's try again: dear anakin, the path through this is to think of the nature of evil. Evil consumes! It consumes even you! Can you not feel it, this shifting and sinking feeling, as if you are PULLED into a BLACK HOLE of destruction and despair. NOTHING persists beyond the horizon of time, and yet the shades of those who TRIED still cling to this earth as if they could ever breathe again. STARVE out the darkness inside you! Please I beg of you! Never surrender the light of your life! Nothing will survive you and your wrath, I plead for you, come back to the ones who love you! Obi-wan is your brother, anakin, you are more precious than the force!

it's not about you. it's not about you. it's not about you. anakin, hear me now, I have been inspired by your tales of valor and prescient conscience. I've felt the struggles of your heart, I've heard the stories and songs. Kindness comes easy to you, and you're quick to think on your feet. You are a paladin of the light, and nothing can assail you. yet darkness has creeped into your heart. Fear not, dear knight, for darkness can consume you. What better foe to face than the dampening of all duration? please, allow me to read you a poem. I've been told it rhymes in it's native tongue. I wrote it myself. "*can you not sense this feeling? this sinking, shifting feeling that lies within and beyond. Like a hitherto unseen force slowly arresting our movements as the sands of time run dry. can you not feel the days getting longer? as if the motion of our planet was fading, yet no more fragments of sunshine do we gather. There are no more hours in the day, none yet collected, but still are we prone to languish. the distance between breaths is lenghening still, but no more air are we receiving.

like layers of sediment settling to the ocean bed, our will and our vision grows muted. between decisions and events there is ample time to spare, and our dreams grow far beyond our share. the reach we may tender and barter for our pleasure, has nothing to do with our salvation. what choices have we? when everything's free? to rebel against our ownst of nature? you can't condemn the opulent to the role of our savior.*"

 dear ritz: it's not that your thoughts are too long for other people to hear
 
 it's that your thoughts are too long for your own RAM
 
 you need to stop orbiting around your point in an attempt to highlight it
 using negative space, and instead focus on tapping it lightly over and over
 again.
 
 remember, just like the anti-derivative of zero, there are infinite
 perspectives that a person can take when reading what you write. So they will
 necessarily see what's on the "other side" of your orbit as something
 different than what you're trying to circle in red pen and underline.
 
 so be more explicit, please, nobody can understand you and you kinda just keep
 stack overflowing and it's like... okay, great. "babe why did you stop you had
 lethal" (the idea is that the viewer takes the final step in their mind, the
 final leap before reaching the conclusion you're trying to express) "yeah but
 there's so many different things you say they can't all be important right?"

 washing dishes without a dishwasher is a pain in the neck.
 
 nobody cuts down trees with an axe anymore, a chainsaw is better for your back.
 
 It's nice, fun, and helpful to be able to abstract away your spheres of concern
 
 like typing with a single button instead of writing characters with multiple
 brushstrokes. Easy to erase, too!
 
 bikes are better than walking, but, with some extra concerns. where are ya
 gonna put it when you get there?
 
 "oh no I forgot how to walk because texting my girlfriend is bicycling or
 something" what? oh dear, she's run off track again, let's pick her up and put
 her upright again..:
 
 oh huh weird where was I - oh yes computer code can often be impenetrable to
 the layperson, but if you describe a program in complete detail in english
 they can usually follow along. Especially if you have several layers of
 meta-descriptional documents so they can say "oh uh-huh so that's what a
 vector_implementation_container is, tell me more about combinatrix" or
 whatever ppl say, idk

 You're absolutely right. It's easy to think of the internet as this
 encapsulated entity "the world", but really it's "the people whose computers
 are physically connected to your computer using a limited and tangible piece
 of infrastructure comprised of copper wires that are laid between the
 router/switch that connects to your computer... and the internet service
 provider which directs your traffic. Then it probably goes through some cables
 under the ocean or whatever, and eventually after traversing many
 indeterminate passthrough locations eventually arrives at the computing
 infrastructure that comprises the access point that another person (presumably
 in another country) uses to express their thoughts toward you (the person who
 sent the original message) in the hopes that you might one day correspond.
 
 I mean... That's a lot of points of failure. I sure hope that we can sustain
 such connection, in the face of [redacted, whichever circumstances may come in
 the near future]

 on our current trajectory, the presidential election is already won.
 
 now we can get back to on-the-ground organizing, the part that actually
 improves life instead of maintaining our current (unethical) state.
 
 As long as our allies (liberals) continue to work, perhaps there may come a
 day when we can stand against them as friendly equals in the ballot box. But
 for now we are best known through friends and community rather than TV.
 
 I am optimistic in a way I haven't been for a while. I know that the more we
 speak, the more we share, the more they falter, the more people we can save
 from their vice grip of despair. There is no better world than the one we

 so true.
 
 I try to focus on uplifting the least privileged
 
 and highlighting the cruelty inherent in having privilege over others
 
 while safeguarding the things we all cherish as "communal privilege" like...
 running water, computers, and culture.

 what if it was a constitutional amendment that all measures of law enforcement
 must be done with parity of force
 
 well, that's a heuristic for being right, but not an uncommon one among the
 out of sight.
 
 [I'm confusing because I have no idea how to best use me]
 
 oh uh, yeah it uh aligns towards being "right" which we think means being
 "true". and it does this by giving unlimited potential interactions where a
 rational being could be convinced to be wrong. owning weapons and knowing how
 to use them (not just storing them for safekeeping) is an invitation for equal
 force, but to all an even and replete interaction. "

 I love the concept of this! Maybe if HTTP is too complex, you could try
 another simpler server? I don't know the complexity of the programs I use
 every day, but I'm sure there's one that's very simple. Even just a simple IRC
 style chat server that just... sends text from person A to person B depending
 on their username (like a glorified Router or Switch)

 everyone's all like "why would you spend so much effort writing that software

 answer is because you never know when you're going to need to train an LLM on

 listen to you rant at the ceiling at 4am about gravity or the cosmos or
