Hey! Something nobody cares about!
Alright, here’s another portion of my life I’m willing to commit to text: symbols.
Yup, they really are pretty vitally important to my life. Or at least to any portion of my life that I regard as meaningful. You might ask: Cire, what does this mean, in terms of how you live day-to-day?
Good question! It means that I live a lonely, impulsive, argumentative and laregely frusterating life. You see, symbols are open to interpretation. That’s widely regarded as the whole point of symbols, by most scholars who, oddly enough, hate you. And by you, I mean me. And also you.
However, the fun thing about symbols (and by fun, I mean, like the fun game I created in the above paragraph, frusterating and soul-killing) is that they all ultimately have a root! Wow! If we trace the narrative of human story back far enough, we start to see a basic symbology! How crazy is that?
The fucked up thing is, if we follow it back that far, we actually start to see how flimsy the basis of individual narrative really is. I’ll get into this further in other blog articles you won’t read, but the basic threadline is: We’ve done it. You’re not really interesting. Stop trying. U R Teh Dumb.
It turns out the universe doesn’t give a fuck about you. As an example, I’ve chosen to examine two systems that seem to define a lot about humanity: 1): Science!- Seems to indicate that people can construct reality based on the things that they can directly observe. If science is right, then we can reduce everything to facts that can be traced back through systems of observable data. In other words, a bureaucracy, which everyone already hates.
2): Magick- Seems to indicate that there are ineffable forces which we can’t understand, and, therefore, must bow to. Which since the reinessance has been considered passe, except by flat-earthing, god-bothering morons.
Here’s the correlation I’ve developed. In a dozen years or so, my very greatest hope is that it will be recognized enough to be debunked by some insolent asshole on whatever version we have of the internet at that time.
3): The System: There is a system that makes sense, and can be observed! It’s a revolutionary concept, and should be embraced by all flat-earthing, god-bothering morons who think that the world can be solved by something that looks like a people, but with a bigger beard, parting the clouds and saying, in English, “Dude, how did you not figure this shit out yet!?!?!”
BUT! ALSO! : It’s completely outside of the understanding of basic human knowledge. I mean, it makes sense, really. (Which is where we’re gonna fail with all these, you know, religious folks.) The point is, we have to keep progressing, before we learn to speak the linguistics of divinity.
See also, in future pointless blogs that will make children weep and their parents not bother to read this nonsense- planetary intelligence as a collective data system, symbolic logic as the cryptography of the gods, intelligent narrative as wave-collapse function, individuality as viral system, human collective unconscious, the failings of my own social network as proof of my brilliant theories, not to be embraced until well after I’m dead.
