Today, we know
1. We haven’t changed,
2. Good and evil mean nothing.

We can’t go back to
1. The scientific method,
2. Knowing the enemy.

Fight
Windmills.

The human body is made of nothing
But particles of interlocking molds.
Forego Oppenheimer, ask Lucretius
“What atoms constitute the soul?”

All belief is unbacked, so
Bring back unbacked belief!
Revolt! Replace America with herself!
Bring back choice, the taste of knowledge, Original Sin, death as proof, howl to the moon, do anything but go silent!

I’m tired of the present, moving in circles, concrete bricks, urban sprawl, Hollywood, Manifest Destiny, the world’s roundness, circling back,
Not having an argument or values or knowledge,
Not knowing
(If I believed in anything
In the first place.)

Philosophers, did you know
Knowledge is dead, and
Only the sophists are relevant?

There’s nothing on Earth that can’t be denied, even this sentence, even life
Procrastinate and forget because
Even if you “Get to work!”
What does it go to besides
Un-logic, science, and death?

Solution:
1. Run until you outrun sanity.
2. Keep running.
