Theater of Utter Charm Part 16

where narcissistic assumptions are presumed to be a priori and default perfect in so far as we estimate ourselves in the slightest vaguest single point mirror ghost called I this is the grand knock me down delusion when we are a many named one meanwhile actual levels of imperfection buzz along the turnpike of oblivion being a matter of degree being merely the endpoint of all creation along with the givenness of opportunity genetically instinctively ultra foundationally beyond the single unkempt mammalian organism in a glut of sense and guessing games too often taking us to the place where stupidity regenerates itself in an unsure defiance of prediction so what is it about the persistence of stupidity he asked in a spasm of rhetoric or is stupidity simply regenerational like proteins in a brain cell sighing with the adjacent winds in the natural world OK the three final or precipitating causalities 1. yes, the natural world 2. family extended to society 3. intelligence is self-amplifying so we're going to understand where things come from less soon than where the sparks fly because the cognitive world is dark period connected to an unbounded dimension for which we have no detection other than thoughts that coalesce at its surface there is no metabolic process storing all those stale vistas where is the drawer where is the closet the rest of the banter about mind and being is a three finger three color cartoon unworthy of evolving cognitive beings we are after all children of infinity there exist alternative views on everything and as such cannot escape concluding that we have a mission period and that we stop wasting time chasing possum and playing arcade charades you have a mind use it for something other than seeing yourself everywhere in an anthropomorphist's wet dream because the mockingbird's song is not indexed or slave to an ancient rotting system of pre-sieved characteristics which can impel the careless reflex towards symbolically linked events circling the whirlpool of going going gone death being merely blackness it can be said with some certainty life being merely desirable meriting equally infinite measures of defense while living the many absurd predispositions that shape cultures we become conflicted because I'll say it again we are composite beings miming from day one anyone sliding into view clouding the scope with instruction intended or otherwise fantastic or otherwise
