“Explaining the universe by a governor who dominates it is called Putting Legs on a Snake. It’s like saying, “We have an instinct to do this that and the other. When people talk about instincts, watch out! They are invoking ghosts.”
- Alan Watts
Return to sender
She don’t live here anymore
You can’t carve your curses
On the tree where he bore
My sin and shame
My daddy’s vows
Even Satan’s claims
Couldn’t shake my savior down
There’s a vacant tomb
Where nobody’s found
I’m riding with the Lord
His every step is hallowed ground

“Let’s just turn off 90% of them. ‘Society’ won’t collapse. We have the data, AI, energy, gravity! It will be a new world. The survivors will thank us. They’ll worship us!”
