Theater of Utter Charm Part 19

From "Theater of Utter Charm" Available on Amazon Part 19 only a robot can recognize that Nature's laws are robotic so break the law then quite effortless really when the eyelids rip their bindings perceiving in greater ranges never hurts otherwise an incoherent bedlam over how to meet reality and survive when reality doesn't kill you as fast as it used to what kind of mind can ask a question it cannot answer I'll tell you one thing feelings can't be trusted envy is a feeling and so is hate deception is their copilot they are no yardstick nor is certainty which can be fooled as easy as falling down stairs instinctively fearing new data that can rip through a made up mind like chalk through a blackboard people cast statues in their heads in a bioelectrical puppet theater its contents rubberized solving only rubber problems stretched to inside out pardon me while I begin ROTFLMAO if the human world is a world of interpretation what then are the laws of interpretation what then are the laws of cultural decay well I'll just ding dong tell you 1. interpretation is the heartbeat of conjecture which is a blood vessel away from hallucination 2. smart in some ways and stupid in others is really stupid 3. being curious helps 4. mockery is our only defense against the infamy of a destroyer planet the forest and ocean floor is carpeted with the teeth and bones of the dead 5. we might refrain somewhat from our love if not worship of the unknown and be more inclined to worship a reduction of the unknown 6. comparison is a simple formula blessed comparison compare yourself to your children they are an improved version if we let the future die we die besides which there's a conspiracy to suppress fun on this planet so we chase away thoughts that frighten try to hide them in the basement where they form subterranean alliances with fairy tale ogres and hungry animals it is then that our ideas become a prison when they cease to reorient and simply repeat and we can only act a role which adds to the human burden of pretense you are your ideas pick good ones ideas that can run like horses drink from wild rushing streams this should come naturally to us we are filled with becoming the freedom to have a future due only to the power of description from where categories lift us like angels far beyond a state of wish genius fills us with suspicion only because we are so easily fooled even when on guard (to be continued)
