Hi Xanderman, it’s been awhile. Hope you’re well and have been lucky. That piece has me on the run from a feeling I’ve been ducking. Lays it all out, lays it dead, like Wittgenstein only shorter. Can’t say I’m happy about it - all that fucking fine print. Binding as hell. Kings make the laws. And we ain’t kings. Not even future kings.
ah but xandarman, all of these things, your thoughts, your deeds, and your “history” are part of you even if they are not you. everything is connected, except what isn’t.
You called it right! That totally made me laugh. Everything IS connected, except what isn’t.
Hey Gamer,
I have been unwell and unlucky, but that has lead me to some very interesting places. I don’t envy anyone this kind of journey but this momentary destination is quite nice. After lots of running around I found the way out. I think the whole floor was the secret trap door.
No matter what I be, I always be me. And thee always be thee.
