Kinda random but for anyone who needs to hear it… rest is revolutionary. Capitalism feeds on people being “productive” (i.e. producing capital), so take that rest day. Fuck whatever corporation you work for, use your sick days. Be a person, not a worker.

It’s wild that linear perspective was invented.

Like, for a long time, this was a completely reasonable way to depict the world.

But if I think about my mental model of what I’m seeing at this moment, it’s automatically in linear perspective. It doesn’t feel like I even need to try, it just is that way.

It makes me wonder what other concepts are shaping (or could shape) my perception in such comprehensive and indelible ways.

My reply is almost always: life isn’t a fairy tale. Some of us will remain single having never found/taken the opportunity to meet someone who wants to be with us because all life is without intrinsic meaning or purpose.

We may create our own meaning or purpose, but there is no part of life that is written in stone that simply “will be because it is ordained.”

I know who I am, an extremely “acquired taste,” who is often too cynical and very very much self loathing. Above all else though, and probably worst of all for my dating prospects, I never want to live with a dog lol

Life can definitely be absurd at times.
