welcome to october 2022.

there is too much. what do i mean by this? even im not sure. there is a lot. of everything. information. ideas. people. paths. places. ideals. theories. delusions. truths. secrets.

the world is chaos. i find it nearly impossible to understand the time we live in. i wonder if anyone else can. or if it is simply unproductive to even try to understand.

every day it seems like there is some new, totally catastrophic and world ending development. am i meant to ignore these? none of them are understandable to me.

here are some of the insanities that plague my mind:

  • COVID: some believe it will kill us all in two years. some believe it is the vaccine that will. it all seems like hysterics. but is it? impossible to know. it is devastating to believe either way. but it also seems naive to dismiss these ideas. either way, what has been done is done.
  • nuclear war: nothing any individual can do about it. saddening either way.
  • ideas about spirituality / dimensions / matrix (organic gematria etc.): interesting. is it an attempt to create meaning in a meaningless world? is it something larger? past lives? conciousness? these ideas are so interesting, but unproductive in the immediate. not conducive with the current reality of our world. either way, impossible to not get somewhat sucked into it all.
  • i'll add more throughout the day when i think of them again. they all rumble around. object permanence, conspiracy permanence? lol.
  • "the media generate a world of simulations which is immune to rationalist critique, whether Marxist or liberal. The media present an excess of information and they do so in a manner that precludes response by the recipient. This simulated reality has no referent, no ground, no source. It operates outside the logic of representation. But the masses have found a way of subverting it: the strategy of silence or passivity. Baudrillard thinks that by absorbing the simulations of the media, by failing to respond, the masses undermine the code" (Poster, 6)
