PROPOSITIONS

I propose we re-sanctify not only love, but ALL life. Jainism got it close to correct minus the extremes, contextually. Jainism now is a radical act despite its obvious and fundamental value. Using LLMs to define ourselves is a quick road to more hell on the internet, and likely more hell in real life (real life: communicated now by media nearly exclusively as we approach WALL-E as an operational reality within the modern west). Rome didn’t die with Romulus or PKD or whoever would have disputed broadly accepted truth of fictitious narratives. Narratives are simply that, narratives. Who wields the narrative storytelling weaponry today? Is it a specific people group?

I say no. I think it’s any bozo with a f*cking camera. That’s democracy, baby. Or something like it. As we accelerate toward Accelerando (Stross, C., 2005) or whatever vaguely neo-tokyoian vision of a glowing noir, I propose that we do so with liberation of all life in mind; freedom from vulgar broadcast ritual, to both start, and to quote Andrew Savage (Content Nausea, 2014), a lyrical hero of mine.

PROP 1 then becomes a WORK IN PROGRESS. Eat that CNN!
