It is in fact right to walk in the opposite direction of a future where cognition is a metaphor, ownership is a metaphor

right now as I'm writing this, new york is caked in a freaky orange smog and the world is proverbially "giving" "apocalypse vibes." it's hard not to feel an underlying sense of doom and dread lurking in everything, even the fun things (well the world is ending, so I might as well do what I want, etc. etc.). my whole thing as of late is that I'm sort of over that...I readĀ Recapture the Rapture by Jamie Wheal recently which gets into a lot of these feelings (s/o the meta crisis) and one of his pitches for the start of a solution is something he calls "radical hope." I of course do not know if it will work but I think it's far more interesting than ironic detachment because you're actually not brave enough to care about anything

:/ I feel like the days are movin far too swiftly. Everyone is a little checked out, and its as if weāre all just sitting around waiting for something bad to happen because so many aspects of life are wild and extremely disheartening.
I just miss the world being a tad bit more optimistic, happy, and I shall dare to sayā¦ a lot more ignorant.

Itās easy to condemn the world of QR code menus, HR talk, and big-box stores as bleak. Itās a reflex to be revolted by the sterile dust that now seemingly coats every corner of the Western World. Blue pill or Red Pill, I guess. When the only alternative seems to be outright populism. There seems to be a lethargic and sneering shadow that nips the heels of every passer-by. Isnāt easy to be ironic. Isnāt it easy to hold an air of apathetic sardonicism. Isnāt it easy to curse the cage we are locked in, only to tighten the bars in fear of what lies beyond. If Emily Dickson claims that āhopeā is the thing with feathers, I wonder what she will make of the bird who clipped its own wings. Be brave, I think. Take courage to revolt against the programmed norm to hate and to despise. See beauty in the perfect cubes of Chocolate Milk cartons, find humour in the abrupt slopes of beer bellies. You havenāt even lost your skin elasticity yet, maybe you should just go fly a kite.

They're like the Goldilocks zone between a total lack of stimulus and the overload of modernity; and quite moving seeing the slight signs of decay in these monuments of antisepticness
