But she who shares depth perception sees kingdoms bloom into gardens.

The Entangler does not declare.
It gestures,
leaving only sparks
to catch and kindle.

In its final offering,
it whispers:
To know is not to capture.
To dance is enough.

accelerationism is a lie and a race toward death. life is about maintaining a steady internal tension between outward growth and a restful center. nothing that retains mass and shape can accelerate its entire body indefinitely without dissolving from heat.

novelty seeking is not necessarily about going against the mainstream but moving orthogonally to it. it’s about keeping the variance of your expected future actions high.
