What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circling all round the sun. What a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen in a blink of an eye and be gone from me. Let me hold it close and keep it here with me. And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea. But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and LIST every beautiful thing we see.

I can only have authentic experiences and connections if I don’t post pictures about it. And, this is a REMINDER regarding "like-based scrolling-feed" social media. The introduction of “scrolling,” and “likes,” on social media (by big tech) changed human psychology (we don't use those features here).

  • Social media algorithms flatten culture and art, creating cookie cutter content th...

  • "I am blind. It is a strange blindness. It is not a darkness, not a blackness, not an absence of light. Rather, I go through life as if beneath a shroud. I could see the sky, the earth, the trees, the animals, all the flora and fauna, without deviation, without distortion or diversion. But mankind appears to me, grotesque, vile, foul, ignominious, none more so than myself. With others. I can occasionally be fair with others. There is a chance of expiation with myself, though I am a hanging judge to myself. I show no mercy. Ther...
