made the world change to allow for his vision of "software (hacker) culture" to flourish

the world changed power dynamics "between sexes" (among genders) and he didn't (protecting his privileged friends)

now decommissioned ...

"enlightenment is ungraspable, enlightening beings are ungraspable, all things are ungraspable, sentient beings are ungraspable, the mind is ungraspable, action is ungraspable, the past is ungraspable, the future is ungraspable, the present is ungraspable, all worlds are ungraspable, and the created and uncreated are ungraspable"

another fun fediverse diversion:
pick a time line
find a pattern
("narrative" counts as a pattern)
linking sequential toots

tried twice to watch

couldn't
just couldn't

i even like warren
the one bit i saw was good
(urgency of action regarding climate emergency)

but then the time is up, onto a superficial treatment of a different issue

(hiding from dysfunctional government propaganda)
📺🗳

lately been having troubling thoughts about the future
(never been considered clairvoyant)

+ massive migration as climate emergency escalates
+ foundations of our civilizations crumble
+ unending trauma inflicted upon most humans

i hope to be proved wrong ...

this was in the break room all day (dr. freud)

there are lots of links to birdsite
that i come across

whenever i click one
and view the "discussion" therein

i am (once again) made happy
by my decision to leave that platform
and (once again) troubled
that so many willingly focus their attentions
on this train wreck of ignorance hatred and bullying

once again
(i blame) capitalism

just watched the full hour of her conversation with amy goodman (democracy now!)

very uplifting

maybe humans can evolve
🏵

inspiring to read about tami sawyer
(change agent, red folding chair (shirley!))
also
disheartening to read about tami sawyer
(racist, mysogynist, body-shaming attacks)

when can we just be people with each other?
(when you don't love your self, you cannot love any others)

go tami!

pbs imperfect
but frontline on flint legionnaire outbreak
outstanding

tells sad story of government members protecting themselves rather than public health
(at cost of their (poor black) constituent's lives)

💔

national government
disgusts me

local
not so slick (or loaded)
still corrupt af

(i guess this is what most of the world's people live with every day)

i'm learning ...

late night light rain
mind sustains listening interest

(still sleeping preferred)

siri characteristics
(from apple via the guardian):

“in nearly all cases, Siri doesn’t have a point of view”
“non-human”
“incorporeal”
“placeless”
“genderless”
“playful”
“humble”

(of course, they left out the most important one:
"always listening")

i guess it's the capitalists dream assistant ...

📱 🕵🏼

television
is an alternate reality

(even if "populated" by many millions
(of course, this begs the question of the nature of reality, and/or its identity))

m.obvious (de rien)
📺

one of the great things about the fediverse is that you can be as weird as you wanna, and inevitably, someone will message you that they have some kinda resonance with what you have put out there in order to manifest of your uniqueness or aloneness or hopelessness or bizarreness ...

self care:
spent a half hour updating mastodon instance profiles (boxen)

😶

metaphysical knowledge spheres:
+ all times, all lands, all things, and all beings
+ undifferentiated true thusness
+ unobstructed reality realm
+ boundless absolute truth
+ unqualified space
+ objectless
(reformatted from avatamsaka)

objectlessness
(beyond being)

lovely #meditation this morning

as i was "coming back" to my mind
(even without going anywhere)
the timing bell rang
more or less when i was ready for it

🔔

today (after months of effort)
read up to, then beyond p.1000
of avatamsaka sutra

+ 500 pp. to go
+ additional 100 pp. of commentary
+ apparently enlightenment not found by reading (only)
