Any self-expression that seems inhumane in word or deed serves a false self. Self emerges from humanity; we are first and foremost human in form and being.

Every time I re-watch WALLE, I have to survive the hiccup realization that for all the beautiful, talented, heartfelt, wonderful individuals that I know, none will have the wealth or political power necessary to get a ticket on the last ship off Earth. All that brilliance and humanity will die here.

That sigh when Sunday channel check for a good movie to end the week shows nothing much, but Deerhunter is just starting. A great great movie, but too real in terms of working class and war. I always want to will myself to be Michael and end up realizing I’m Nicholas.

Gen X: To summarize the training I have received as a human being: descend from your natural state of heaven and climb Mount Mundane. As if there was no magic inside of you, as if being was a performance contract in a widget-sorting assembly line.

I think the most logical, yet impassioned argument that god as conceived by humanity does not exist is in the existence of the human species. Casually evil, destructive, exploitive, cruel by degrees. What god would, with those godlike prescient powers, throw that wicked wrench into a living world?

What your psyche doesn’t tell you: when you realize that there is an algorhithmic expression of being that can determine psychosis as the preferred way of managing this experience of human, you must then consider your own algorithm.

A life fettered by the failings of my fathers and their fathers, chained by the constraints of the consensual context of my cohort. Even breaking free might be a pre-choreographed parody. (v1.2)
Now with brand new alliteration!
