If words aren't your cuppa tea because I either type too fast and/or you read too slow, whatever works or doesn't 🤷🏽‍♀️

maybe these songs will put you in my right (and only right right now) headphone #typo headphones* but #headphonesisfunnyenough #for me to leave it in there for now #to see if it'll be a #callback #joke #iykyk #fatesphreaks #vampirefreaks #wasmyspace

or at least see why they sound like i upgraded from mono to surround

Because these songs speak to me in a way words never can. And some words deserve not to be spoken #enjoy the silence #wordscanbeviolent

and sometimes I'll explain exactly how i relate, and sometimes I'll be the one the construction guys across the street in Toronto (because everything's under construction here, including me) are laughing at.

Because they finally SEE me dancing like no one's watching. But I see them watching while I'm dancing. #whostherealwinner #itme #winwin #winsumdimsum

That is all this series will be when it starts. For now enjoy what I'm vibing with as I'm liking this.

Soon I will host a live Twitch stream since I know we always wish we could hang with each other, but x, a, b, pik ur poision, and variable, we can do it all! At least now you can hop on when I'm there, because I'm only turning my camera on when I welcome company and/or feel like I have something stupid/funny/smart/intelligent to say. Whatever you have to believe to make YOU feel safe. I'm finally building my own encampments in MY NEIGHBOURHOOD #fuck #nimbyism

Because I know where my parents came from, and I know which way the world is going, but only I know how I'm getting from A --> B. No matter if the world or my own daring kills me (survivor of 3 car crashes and eternal depression/anxiety/suicidal ideations/thoughts) me first.

At least when they audit me - my receipts will FINALLY fucking explain:

who i am

where i came from

where i wanted to go

where i ended up

who walked with me in [x] = ERA (mine tho)

picked up my language on DuoLingo when they have time/bandwidth

what I was consuming:

whether it be food:

love

anger

fear

heartbreak

hope

the lack thereof

when i had times of happiness

or not

when I was a good person

and #viceversace

I can keep writing like I'm running out my time

because I almost smashed my own hourglass

thankgod i didnt

bitch loves to bedazzle

because iyrk

yrk

thx for sticking by

ur a warrior if you didn't know

You may see this like this because like my thoughts come in all shapes and sizes, so do all my soulmates.

I'm sorry I found abundance in myself and am carte blanching on my personally curated art gallery/cafe/print shop/safe space/community acupuncture clinic/hair+makeup+nail+curly+straight+gay+brown+white

Not everyone understood Basquiat's/Jimi/A.R. Rahman/[x] 's madness or genius when they were alive.

And then we spend the rest of their life admiring their lifeless work in a institution where they stole all of our best people and treasures. And we're supposed to say thank you and admit to you that we don't know what YOU think that art means. Because we finally figured out what our oppressors asked our ancestors.

and the rote memorization they made us perform #without #fucking #consent on top of performing as slaves in some for for every single one of them

Welp. I rage quit so. If YOU want. Keep looking at me looking at me.

An commentary to Nāgārjuna’s MMK (Mūlamadhyamakakārikā) describes the view of causality in ancient India: “It is important to note at the outset that in classical Indian philosophy causation is usually understood as a relation between entities (‘the seed, together with warm moist soil, is the cause of the sprout’) and not, as in modern science, between events (‘the collision caused the motion of the ball’)” (Siderits, “Nāgārjuna’s Middle Way”).

Unless you were well-versed in the philosophy from that era, you would probably, as a modern practitioner, have understood causation to be similar to the collision. I’m not even sure if I have it correct: is there a big difference between the concept of causation we refer to today and the one the commentary tells us was predominant in ancient India?

Here, there are many systems (of understanding, knowledge) to be made.

For example, let’s say that most people really do have it misinterpreted. Nevertheless, a pretty consistent and fulfilling system of understanding forms around it. In fact, a large community forms without ever knowing that they had a totally inaccurate interpretation of such a fundamental concept. For a skeptic, this would be good reason to be wary of set systems: your discovering the veracity of the statements is some kind of bias due to expectations. It’s like a placebo.

On a higher level, we can understand ideas as either building blocks or shopping cart items. In the building blocks analogy, thought systems are built on fundamentals, forming a structure in which each tenet is supported by everything beneath. In the shopping cart analogy, ideas don’t conflict with each other: if you toss one, you don’t necessarily toss the others. These are rather obvious analogies, which we have good reason to suspect as inaccurate models (analogies and similes are widely said to have many flaws). That’s not to say that the non-analogy concepts we hold are not as bad (there’s a purpose to the double negative): they share the same characteristics. Notice how in the word “share” itself we are using analogies and vague, abstract concepts.

And let’s throw in an additional round of conceptual abstraction, to illustrate: systems of ideas are actually a middle ground between the shopping cart and building block models.

You can shift concepts around all day. Imagine a person who has been playing with creating frameworks of understanding (theories). She’s gotten quite good at it. I can imagine the mind of such a person as distressed over the uncertainty of every theory we take as accurate.

This was a rather discursively organized post. The opening has nothing to do with the content of the post: it merely served to introduce an example of thought system. I can conceive of a reader who did think it was related, and somehow connected causation to the rest of the post. Such a reader would be left very confused, but would have experienced excessive conceptual systemization firsthand. I can also conceive of a reader who imagines that the purpose of the opening was to create exactly the situation aforementioned. Such a reader would be bright. I can conceive of a reader who thinks that the previous sentence means that it was intentional. Such a reader would be wrong. I can conceive of a reader who thinks that the overly contrived nature of the above examples helps to give a picture of the range of possibilities out there for creating systems to explain things. Such a reader would be right.
