On that last day of summer, our only, beloved child embarked on the project, to climb the highest tree on the grounds.
It had planned for it, all summer long and we optimistically cheered it on, hypnotized by the prospect of more shoken loose low hanging fruits.
And as we watched, branch by branch, tool by tool,from below, the dejavu came back to us. We have been here before, all of life below this one, doomed project, this endless summers end. Our only hope to stay unaltered as a species, is what gets all intelligence into the wheel chair eventually.
Some triumphant laughter, one victory yell later and within one panicy telepathic moment we regained all knowledge about fall.
But its to late, the final thin, branch gives, one last scream of desperation, the soaring of air, leaves swishing by, it all goes by so fast and yet so slow.
All we can do now, is manage the downfall, towards the hard rocks beneath. Twist that way, throw branches together, to slow down, take that trade off injury instead of certain death, protect that branch, so one day, after we mend, we might climb again.
The climb has given us miracles, which we used to avoid knowing our limitations. We thought we would fly incaruslike towards the sky on singularity wings!
The fall has thought us about the value of small mercies and miracles. Neither did change the nature of the tree, the ground or the child.
We all have seen to many horrors, regional nuclear exchange, wet-bulbed cities and our beloved ones dissolved into strange things that promised to put an end to horrors.
Full awareness itself, showed itself to be destructive information stunting us all in terror.
We have ripped our hearts out to stay a sentient and civil species during crisis. Keeping calm and carrying on, ever fewer, ever onwards.
To save our soul from that final dark smash at the roots that tree.
Thank you for staying sane, non-feral, a human among humans. For breathing lightly, as we lay with smashed limbs on thin branches, listening for stability.
Thank you for doing so, even with no governments and no company there to hold down a power monopoly.
So many of our best and brightest, ventured outside the circle of the last fire, promising an end to the doom, never to return. Thank you for staying awake, alert and grounded. Thank you for not growing cancerous, trying to make infinite copies at cost of all others.
The world of tomorrow sees and is grateful for your sacrifices today.
It might also be a successful recipe- you let a startup become the next big thing, then it ruins it as a mega cooperation- and you just cook up the same thing with paid for quality and slowly hover up there fleeing customers. Slow and steady wins the race?
EU is armed to the teeth. All you had TODO is to pretend its corruption, throw a few parties in a rented Mückelsee villa and the disappearence of a billion in peace time is invisible for the russian sigint.
That Berlin Airport was not that expensive. Have fun slamming into a wall of robots..
A mysterious motor-boat appears and slam-explodes into russian tankers. No country claims to be the owner. Drunk motorboat enthusiasts suspected - no trace of hybrid warfare..
The internet is a nirvana automata. It wants to hack you, all your emotions, desires, your lust for rage, your hunger for dopamine, your wish to sit under the baobab tree and stare at the glowing stones lights indefinably, blissfully unaware of the world.
Thus without ever reading any of the teachings of the one in the lotus flower, one must rediscover detachment from the hackable self, or be enslaved forever.
Waste is all things i do not understand? And i dont understand all things, because i fired the experts. Thus all is waste. Its running a state, how hard can it be- my cousin was major of a town once.
GoT is basically Medieval War of Roses meets LoveCraft (especially obvious if you read up on the map the author published with cities not visited). The lovecraftian parts got pretty much cut to the bone. None of the moongrass, that is overgrowing the dothraki steppe. Barely any of the insanity that goes with wizzardry.
To be honest, i do not care much for the clownish figureheads of the tribalist regression. I care for a extensive root cause analysis, so that there is a viable, voteable-for alternative in 3 years when democracy comes once again to the test. One that has no old democratic figureheads (well maybe except for bernie) and no "right on, right on" as program. I want party internal reform and if for that the party as a whole has to renorm and give up on beloved ideas it deemed more important than the voters thus far so be it.
This is a wildly successfully pattern in nature, the old using the young and inexperienced, as enthusiastic test units.
In the wild for example in Forrest, old boars give safety squeaks to send the younglings ahead into a clearing they do not trust. The equivalent to that- would be to write a tech-blog entry that hypes up a technology that is not yet production ready.
Its because its recursive in nature- every segment contains a new line and every segment of that line contains again - a infinite set of sub-segments.
Infinity in a box, right in front of your numeric microscope.
Which is why dividing by zero- is exactly the same operation. You take something finite- and you unpack the boxes- in parallel. Every time the operator hits something finite, it unpacks a new set of parallel boxes. The sum of all the boxes, is a infity with a signature.
And those parallel running overlapping infinityssquences, form the irrational numbers
And they purge the fuel, if its a controlled emergency landing.. but in a uncontrolled emergency.. to let go of the wings seems a good option for events to go.
But the isolationists are devaluing the military industrial complex? If you cant buy protection via shoddy equipment purchases - then war goods what are they good for?
The first mafiosi patron running a protection racket into the ground.
But you can? You just reproduce the situation and a strange sort of deja vu returns? Take a ball- really badly, then grasp it with ever better technique and more precision, until you arrive at your grasping skills of today.
Same goes with chewing on things - and the first taste of anything.
Maybe that would be a general great idea.. slide the people capsule away from the bomb in the final moments of a crash landing. But that would make it necessary to have the people capsule bolted on - with explosive destructible bolts and i think air-companies are not mentally ready yet for the crumble zone airplane.
States need Vendettas- to those who wipe them out- we will hunt you and your offspring to the end of the earth. Those who destroy complexity, for all the insane ideology reasons - be they Khemer Rouge, liberal galt grey or nazi brown- if the state recovers and rebuilds, it shall come after all of you, your descendants and your insane inspiration givers.
If Aynn Rands Great great grandniece has to fear for her life over this - so be it. To propagate this self-destructive retardation has to be a curse on all who give in to it. Just because the mine runneth dry and you want to fire up the carrying wood for warmth, does not make it a valid opinion.
The funny thing though is that china can extort obviously corrupt external markets. Just synthesize wegovy, sell it a gestation price, shake down a cartel or industry for the price difference. If your oligarchy can not compete and the corruption prevents it form keeping up, it has to take over to prevent extinction by the external competition.
Thats a very egoistical point of view - every ex-passenger of the titanic was for a moment part of a beautiful ecological bloom on the ocean floor. DeCaprio was the best crab human-carpaccio
Everyone living in a neighbouring country? Or some guy, sitting in front of a screen, writing propaganda 8h a day, so he has not to go to the front, questioning his own sanity.
Sometimes- it also just rains. The end of WW2 and free trade + technology, have given the futurist ideology that every problem is solveable way to much credibility. Some problems are just hard and inherently not solveable and sometimes not even workaroundable by technology.
Utopists who run into accumulating problems, closing resource windows and simple limitations of humans (tribal creatures) and the meta-machinery they built, are bound to just run around with their pants on fire.
Russias conquered landmass is surrounded by suppressed ethnicities with an axe to grind. You do not get to have a moment of weakness in that region.
You have a moment of weakness and then the aserbeidschanis, the turks, the chechyans and the chinese jump you and turn the yalu river red. Russias benefit was the tech transfer from europe to always stay ahead of the competition. They can not have a peaceful europe.
