Rule making begets rule making. We first make a rule only to later discover an exception. We then modify the existing rule or make another rule to cover the exception. But then we discover an exception to the new rule and the whole process repeats.

What we end up with is a frustrating and unmanageably complex set of rules. We find ourselves with laws that require professional guidance to follow, sports with rules that are impossible to adjudicate, and philosophical distinctions that are incomprehensible to non-specialists.

“You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

~ Carl Sagan, Contact

Saganism 

[ahalal-uralma]

The unconscious is not a demonic monster, but a thing of nature that is perfectly neutral as far as moral sense, æsthetic taste and intellectual judgement go. It is dangerous only when our conscious attitude towards it becomes hopelessly false. And this danger grows in the measure that we practise repressions. But as soon as the patient begins to assimilate the contents that were previously unconscious, the danger from the side of the unconscious diminishes. As the process of assimilation goes on, it puts an end to the dissociation of the personality and to the anxiety that attends and inspires the separation of the two realms of the psyche.

Remember— healing is painful

when the body experiences physical injury, the pain means that our darling little body is working to repair itself

the same is so for other forms of injury, to the psyche, emotional, intellectua... similar across paradigm

like the violence of a flower in the active state of blooming

I kept this one to myself for many weeks. It's unusual and extraordinary... with hand on heart, this is straight off the telephone, no filters, no post-processing, nothing. Only the lighting I have here contributed to this effect. I didn't interfere with it in any way

something about it astonishes me. I can't think of a word

hi um im not too sober rn but not everything is what it seems and misunderstandings/misspoken words will always be on the internet. and replying to the other thing it's a combination of cannibalism and sociopaths etc. and I'm not lazy I have actual chronic pain and anxiety/depression. ai stuff is not real. and idk if ur trying to come at me for whatever reason i don't get it I didn't do anything to u or ask anything of u. idk if this is in my mind if ur talking to me. maybe i don’t belong here. anyways I gtg i have other things to dread about and ill forget about this.

I am sorry you are feeling down. I think everyone deserves an opportunity to live and have it work out. I think you may have misread a post response that wasn’t a response to you at all. I didn’t even see you mentioned on it. You and I have never talked before now. Generally, that post response wasn’t meant for anyone. I think you’re responding to something about AI? Otherwise I’m totally lost. I hope you feel better and that the drinking isn’t messing you up.

PS. Forgot to mention, I totally relate on the chronic pain and mental illness front. I hope it gets easier and you find relief.
