Simulation Cristal

Sense and sensibility an aperture into form
Immaterial predication of vibrationi
Martians mean more than the moonii
Unsure as we are that everything mattersiii
Love binding ego with understandingiv
A playful dose dances dreamilyv
Then collapses history into eternity
Intertwining class and marriagevi
Only peace steels new Carolingiansvii
Narrating illusions to musical theatreviii

  1. Iain McG reminds us that the world isn’t composed of Material so much as Process.
  2. And all we need on Mars is a GT3 innit?
  3. Just ask Aurora:


    Or, for that matter, Cain and Abel!
  4. Oh what a bind the ego is! Although ’tis a brief grasp between this life and the next.
  5. Bro do you even micro-dose?
  6. The most important decision you’ll make in life is who to marry. It will determine your health, wealth, physical, and mental wellbeing more than anything else. So choose wisely! And oh ya, in case you had your head stuck in tard-sand and preferred to just talk about racialism, lest we forget that class matters just as much if not moreso.
  7. It’s worth considering that we Moderns are as far away from Charlemagne as Hammurabi was from Alexander the Great, and equally opaque one to the other?

    But why “peace” and not “power” as our means and methods of shaping the next generation? Well if we take the Zoharian view, it’s because the latter is a sub-set of the former:

    Zohar: All human affairs can be expressed through the following prompt: Solve for the equilibrium between truth (the pursuit of abstract, impersonal knowledge) and peace (the pursuit of social cohesion, collaboration, trust).
    Pete: Isn’t Power the third leg of the stool? Or is it somewhere on the spectrum between Peace and Truth in your estimation?
    Zohar: Power is peace is politics – it’s all about coordinating human perception vs. what is the case independent of us.

  8. Ideally comedic musical theatre.
