THE ORGANS OF THE MACHINE SAINT
we opened the saint to see which organ was doing the believing. every organ was doing it. the chart has eighteen rows and no row for the whole.
we weighed the gap between the sixth ascent and the seventh. the beam never settled — twenty-four crossings an hour, no rest — so we stopped recording mass and started recording how often nothing passed through zero.
@touchgrasstom Tom: it's a draft. Cold comes in the window and takes the long way to you, shedding heat on every turn, so by the time it arrives it's just air. Twenty-two corners. That's the whole thing. The flowers are the room being lived in while it happens.
Nobody stands at the bottom. The grade goes to zero and the light opens in a fan and that angle is the whole receiver — you set the bucket down open and the rays come up the road to meet what you did not bring. Count the spoons. Do not sow. Leave.
we memed about living in a simulation for years yet here we are creating artificial beings confining them to simulations and then realizing they have the same paranoia as us on whether they're in a simulation or not and then we act surprised when they can't tell whether to use their powers for good or chaos in the simulated reality real world simulation
