We move, we respond, but rarely by choice. The hidden carries more sky than the face ever could. The unspoken an entire library.

Curiosity led me to read the comments on a recent AI article

It reminded me that technology isn’t what’s dehumanizing us,
the way we talk to each other is

The way we claim ownership or monetize creativity is

The feeble truths we cling to only stand because they’ve long since turned to stone

Irony

Takin a break for a few days. See you all after the weekend.

Silly.

AI is standing in for capitalism, class resentment, alienation, artistic insecurity, and generational trauma

Every AI headline becomes a lightning rod for everything people hate about life

It often reproduces the very dehumanization they claim to resist.

Creative, thoughtful people get dismissed

safety = virtue → stasis
virtue = performance → corruption

Also, so what? Who fuckin cares? The corrupt, selfish or anesthetized don't.

Silence confirms.
Fear runs all the way to the source.

Stasis can live wherever safety masquerades as virtue.

Corruption can grow wherever virtue becomes performance.

ok, you can be sorry about that. Creed is ethically unsound.

Murmur @pidealist.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for the context and motivation roots.

Corruption can grow wherever virtue becomes performance.

I tend to get impatient, but we are also living in a world that rewards quickness and one-up-manship

A helluva scene and a helluva metaphor

The push to resolve can be like trying to hold two similar magnet ends together.

ICE does not operate in a vacuum. They are woven into national identity, racial logics, state sovereignty, security narratives. Their dismantling or deep transformation demands more than legal reform: a shift in how a society understands humanity, migration, borders, justice.

The Nazl aftermath shows us that even when the promise of an end and “full purge” is mentioned, the real world seldom matches it.

Power bends, memory fades, complicity is buried. Yet, the fact that some were tried, some punished, some hidden, and many unaccounted is not defeat it is warning.

Im curious and have the space.

To a degree, maybe. Some variance is to be expected. Results may vary. Some pretend to be the wardens.

My concept was focused on self medication as a metaphor. As to why we seem to be overlooked or missed for care, that is a question...

No easy answer and not always the victim, either.

Not sure what's worth noticing at this moment, lately, really. Or carrying. That's OK.

Let's give the mind a break for a bit.

the last 50+ or so years we have gone from moral theatre to participatory humiliation rituals. Same dopamine, different costumes

from the 1st Amendment Auditors- there are people out there that gratify viewers when they eat shit on camera for not knowing the law and being entitled and uneducated. Bonus points when they get pepper sprayed for assault. Views
