Sort of the reverse of your excellent point...recently read a piece in the NY Times about how hype about a product is so pitched that it already surpasses our authentic experience of the product , which doesn't have a chance.
Yup. It’s wild times on planet Earth. This is The Momentum of Baked Cakes.
Disembodied fast as light communication within an extractive, manipulative culture is going to have serious consequences.
Automatons will not make us more human. And I am surely “grievance-y” at times...but it is because of the loss of our humanity at the expense of power-hungry invented freedoms.
I do my best to be a caring human in the realm of the real. Petting cats and allowing cars to merge are my mantra. It is, and will be, greatly needed as we sail further into artifice and chaos.
That’s my code living and dying in the fever dream...
I petted the golden retriever at my chiropractor's office for 10 minutes before my appointment today. The rest of my day was shit, but that 10 minutes was something truly awesome. For me and Daphne.
P.S. I'm gonna watch that movie. I read Mrs. Calliban recently, at your recommendation. Loved it.
Thank you for this. I've been feeling very Grievancey this morning. This is much needed perspective.
Amen to this Amy!
Amy, did you see Shalom Auslander's piece on assholes? You guys are barking up, if not the same tree, at least the same forest.
No, I don't think so -- do you have a link?

That was hilarious and delightful :) Thank you!!
Name of the game is insecurity.
Yes, insecurity planted like little seeds and nurtured with regular doses of toxic radiation :)

Blessed are those who allow cars to merge, for they shall drive beside fellow motorists with lessened rage. :)
