the internet was
never more than
hype whose success
presumed a far
higher quality of
being than human
would be the
primary participant
~
i love my http[s]
/ gopher (lynx),
gemini (gemget),
and nex (nc) based
browser whose
interface is less
(yes, the command)
in a loop that,
when less is quit,
takes in a command
or a number - the
latter associate
with a link on
the page.
so clean
so filtering of
bullshit
so consistent
~
it's really
not that hard
to write the
means to monitor
http[s]/gopher/gemini/nex
monitors that
periodically check
for change, and
report when found
'lynx -dump',
'gemget', and
'nc' do the
heavy lifting -
aka getting
'diff' detects
change from a
previous get
'less' views the
latest if there's
been change
no need for
feeds/readers
it's hard to
imagine one
who can't roll
their own getting
truly high on the
internet, because
most of the fun is
in the making it
work for oneself
~
"seeking"
is <ineffable>
seemingly ignoring
itself
i.e. feigned
ignorance
~
all this is
<ineffable>
attempting to
re-present itself
~
"why go
anywhere? just
realize that you
are dreaming a
dream you call
the world, and
stop looking for
ways out. the
dream is not your
problem. your
problem is that you
like one part of
the dream and not
another. when you
have seen the dream
as a dream, you
have done all that
needs be done."
-- sri nisargadatta
maharaj in "i
am that"
~
you don't need to
know me
(i'm not what i'd
say i am anyway)
you need to
know you
that said i'm
pretty sure
there's no more a
me than there is
a you save in our
both being ideas,
i.e. reflections of
<can't be said but
"i am that i am"
possibly comes
closest>
~
"reality' is more
meaningfully'd
spelled
"reelity"
as in
re-elohim-ity
i.e. the againness
(re-flection)
of elohim
~
"what i'm really
concerned about
is reaching one
person.
and that person may
be myself for all
i know."
- jorge luis borges
~
i want to interact
with others until
about three seconds
after they start
talking / writing
when i'm invariably
quickly reminded
the impossibility
of separate
conceptuality
contexts -
aka minds -
communicating with
merely said-to-be
common symbols
