I am beauty I am truth I am late night sessions in front of the computer
I am interesting and short and sharp and violent
I am better than you.
I listen to loud music at high speeds I enjoy driving fast
I see stop signs as challenges.
The opposite of something is different than the negation.
That is a difficult concept to grasp.
If you're Drunk, you're on one end of the spectrum. One extreme.
Drunk---------------------Sober
Drunk is the Negation of Sober.
But it isn't the opposite.
Drunk---------------------Sober----------------------WHAT IS ON THIS SIDE.
Knurd. More sober than sober. Bright eyed and bleary. Equally disorienting. Instead of shutting down your brain it throws open the starting gate and rolls you out into the stark raving naked reality of things. Bright blue skies and infinite pastures.
You can die if you're drunk enough, your body shuts down and you breath vomit.
That's the thing about extremes. They're both equally extreme, equidistant from the Neutrality that lies in the middle. Extreme plus Opposite Extreme Equals Neutrality.
Neutrality Plus Extreme Equals Negation.
I think in logical terms now. Perpetually Knurd. I may be a perspectiveaholic. I drink unpleasant truths and skewer my brain under bright blue skies. Like the default Windows desktop, only going on forever.
The shapes we identify as constellations only apply from our point in space.
2-D shapes like the big dipper are actually made up of stars light years away from each other in every direction.
What we see as Orion is actually a three dimensional shape.
When we colonize Mars they will have to find and name new constellations.
Eat dark chocolate. It doesn't taste as good but it does conform more accurately to the early 20th century Italian art movement of Futurism.
Why do we like slow motion videos what about them excites and amazes us.
We don't like to see regular day to day things happen in slow motion we like to see fast things slowed down. Bullets. Balloons rupturing. People getting slapped in the face.
Things that are fast, short, violent, surprising, we want them slowed down we want to study them we want to know them be less surprised be less disrupted when they happen if I had reflexes like the Matrix I would probably commit violent acts just like them.
As it is, we can't really appreciate rapidity until the moment has passed and our brains have a second to catch up and relay what just happened to the rest of our bodies.
And usually the message they relay is "That was remarkable. Act accordingly."
Flood your body with endorphins. Do what is most appropriate at that exact time and place.
Respect those who know more than you, and learn from them.
There is a reason behind most everything anyone does.
Look at the experts in any field and take notes.
Look at the reasons for their actions, and why they produce the results they do.
Approach perfection through parrotry of the perfect. They are the closest to perfection for a reason.
There are flaws in this lifestyle.
Here is a newsflash.
There are flaws in every lifestyle.
Prove me wrong. Be better. Be perfect. Let me copy your notes.
Record yourself and leave the footage for future generations on Mars to see in between constellation naming sessions.
Come back and teach. That's what the Hindus do.
Lead by example. That's what the Daoists do.
Learn from everything. That's what the Confucians do.
The reason people on ecstasy like to dress the way they do, act the way they do, do the things they do, listen to the music they listen to, dance the dances they do, fuck the way they fuck, is because for the last 97 years since it's invention they have been experimenting and evolving and THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE IT.
Look down on stereotypes for the reasons that make them reprehensible and worthy of contempt. If they are ignorant, hate them. If they are annoying, avoid them. If they are ugly, don't fuck them.
But do not let justified logical reaction progress to outright dismissal of all aspects of their reasoning.
Cull.
Separate the undesirable traits and learn from them by horrible example.
Isolate the things that work and integrate them into your own Megazoid.
Observe.
Study.
Filter.
Absorb.
Cultivate.
Sharpen.
Become efficient and aerodynamic.
Shoot lasers out of your god damn eye sockets.
Then come show me how.
What a fabulous video. This is definitely my favorite thing for the month of April.
