| it's been rainy
and today was blustery but we took advantage of a sun break to walk to frye for the canny pairing of beau dick and priscilla dobler dzul. this quote really struck a chord because it does seem like humanity is possessed by evil spirits, kind of along the lines of burroughs' notion of language as virus; maybe we as a species really do just get carried along by memes--parasitic entities with drives of their own--which makes the recent dabbling with ai especially fraught with peril. whether "the system" is in a sense supernatural and/or people are just susceptible to repetition of any suggestion and we're all collateral damage of psychological warfare, i've been thinking about my own self myth and how inextricable it is from the broader culture and how when the latter starts to crumble it discombobulates the personal, not just in terms of obvious material concerns but in shaking one's core identity and orientation. |
