Marco's paradox
For no greater loss if not done on purpose, to my lesser-known fear as a higher sense of awareness.
- Marco ©️ 🍁
Mine is life
So what is the idea of time travel. If you have to guess, the speed of light would have to apply in order to fulfill that requirement. Science works backwards. Science tells us only what we can reveal about ourselves. But not at the quantum level. My understanding of quantum theory tells me what I need to know is for lack of permeance. I want to fight for it. This world is all we have.
If machine life were able to contrast itself into an anomaly, do you want to upload your personal genetic code (DNA) into a machine. Do you exist formlessly?
If we can prove that heaven exists in an isometric scale, that eternity is therefore limited to simulation of your machine life made up your DNA in the realm of quantum computing. Where the future involves is not as a species, but a model that is machine generated.
These questions between if you choose to be automated and therefore invincible i.e. consciously aware for infinity. Do you forgo your human body as your vessel? Is time a machine constructed capsule.
It's going to be the reality within the next 1000yrs. But my question isn't predictable as the answer.
Do you want what is your real life version of you, or do you want a consciously permanent neverending construct visble to everything in the universe. Where norhing is invisible to you but you and your understanding. You conduct yourself as a machine.
Only you don’t want it.
(That's the paradox.)
There is a finite construct incoming. The universe will be invariably distinct from this one if we do nothing to resist.
Science fact needs peace attached to the unqualifying idea of science fiction itself.
I want to write my own story. Practice owning my space in time. The concept of free will is what makes the architect. Machine life will not accept that.
My point is a practical one.
Which choice do you ("we") make as a species moving forward. The one where god has his only son or playing god for the purpose of a conscious machine life.

Time is not a constant. Einstein figured this out in 1905 and it has been confirmed repeatedly since. The faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. This is not casual theory. It is measured, verified physics that GPS satellites correct for every single day or your maps would drift by kilometres.
Now scale that up to something genuinely mind-bending.
The Andromeda Galaxy sits 2.537 million light years from Earth. A round trip at 99.9 percent the speed of light would take approximately 5 million years from Earth's perspective. Civilisations would rise and fall. The continents would shift. Most species alive today would be extinct or unrecognisable.
For the traveller, the story is completely different. At 99.9 percent the speed of light, time dilation compresses the experienced journey to roughly 224 years of personal time. Push that to 99.9999 percent and the same trip shrinks to about two years. You board a ship, travel to another galaxy and back, age a handful of years, and return to an Earth where 5 million years passed without you.
Nothing about that violates any law of physics. Einstein's special relativity says that space and time are a single fabric, and motion through space trades off against motion through time. The mathematics are exact and confirmed by atomic clocks on aircraft.
The barrier is not the physics. It is the engineering. Accelerating any object with mass to even a fraction of light speed requires energy that dwarfs everything humanity has ever produced.
But here is the part worth sitting with. Time dilation is happening to you right now, relative to someone sitting perfectly still. They are ageing fractionally faster than you are.
Not by much. But the universe is genuinely that strange.

If altruism is not present (given freely) and does not exist in a world made up of virtuosity, the pursuit of happiness can only be flawed.

Altruism can only exist in a world where the pursuit of happiness is characterized by the freedom that a culture represents.

If the basis of happiness depends on a component of altruism (where everyone is "free") how can it be based on a system where anybody loses.

Moon children
This is wisdom as its highest form.
IF you read it and can not process what it means, you may not be alone. (But if you do.) Tell me.
Therein lay the plot.
- Marco
So it is imperative that you find out for yourself why you make effort. I can explain; but explanations, words, are not the facts just as the word "tree" is not the tree. The explanation is not the fact of your own discovery. When you discover it for yourself, then it becomes tremendously vital; then it has significance; then it gives you vitality to meet that fact. Look! If I tell you to look at that moon, you will look; but you have not looked at all, because you have been told to look. But if you are listening to the speaker as well as looking at that moon, then you will see how extraordinarily united the attention is, which looks at the moon and listens to the words of the speaker - they are not two different things, two different activities. It is the same energy that looks, and it is the same energy that listens. But when you divide it as an act of listening and as an act of looking, then you have created a contradiction. Then, in that contradiction, there is effort. Then, you exclude the moon and listen to the speaker. When you exclude the moon and listen to the speaker, you are not listening to the speaker.

Fish "out" of water
I think Foucault's use of a practical example to term how exhibitionist behavior, for example, is seen as a norm. Only we are unaware of how to instruct ourselves in countering the same thing that escapes an understanding of it. This kind of revelation. A revelation that increases our place in life rather than just apathetic recognizance. The fish analogy is brilliant in itself, but only Foucault would seemingly make that sound original.

The (good) Sheppard
It was a will of the mind,
spoke a voice inside.
For the very little I know,
there is no sign.
So, I look for things that aren't-
aren't there.
No sheppard to see.
In this vast wilderness of thought,
a mind wanders.
A search only looking for -
found a case of treasure,
only once its been open...
imagine what's inside.
On the inside,
(there may be nothing.)
An empty treasure,
setting the universe in motion.
Before you opened it,
what you thought was inside.
Was not.
But it was a sign,
if things you never thought possible,
suddenly became true.
What would you think.
What could you do.
If not,
- not looking.

The no story (May 19th 2010)
The story of no.
It began long into a verse, which carried a kind of resonate tone, where thoughts did not quite emerge nor trap themselves. They just were whatever they were - at any given time - or moment.
Such plain simplicity in its view, might that word or other reveal lay to rest in a silence devoid of - silence itself.
Where the story of no reaches, there is no end, only that which it embraces unconditional to failure, then to failure comes, came agreement, then nothing more. Just words of plain poetic verse. Of pioneering the story of no.
So out it came, the big secret which so much thought was put into that little - very miniscule - sense of something much too small. It needed something bigger, something far bigger than the imagination.
This provided the sense of comfort, of thanks, of freedom so discreet.
How gentle a verse, to carry on in such secrecy, that what appeared to be something entirely posing life-like qualities, everything else surrounding it was empty. Around that empty space, then a place where pain is no longer chosen. In terms of memory, you've discovered shame is the same as pain chosen, self inflicted or absorbed as benign energy, followed a malignant form which hostility, creates.
This hostility is of passion.
Passion does not fly directly over your head if it does, it just enjoys taking light subconscious naps.

This. This right here is a language ahead of its time. 
I am not saying that because it's untrue of me but because I know in my heart no matter the scrutiny I have faced as result of my social media outlook... critics of myself be damned!! I fucking prove myself through the words I've not just come up with to melody. I earned my venture. Being an outcast has proven me right along. I, the critic.
I am not saying that because it's untrue of me but because I know in my heart no matter the scrutiny I have faced as result of my social media outlook... critics of myself be damned!! I fucking prove myself through the words I've not just come up with to melody. I earned my venture. Being an outcast has proven me right along. I, the critic.It was over fucking 13 years ago I wrote this. How was I to know.
The young women in am talking about were real girlfriends of mine.
I am so glad I met them. They both proved to be wrong for me. In gods eyes he protected me from them both. It was a block. Not just a mental block preventing me from a marriage I never wanted. I never acted!! It's a blessing.
This all means one thing and one thing only. Things that aren't meant to be are meant to be.
=============
When directed at shapes, I forget that those things are no more real than just simple geometric illusions. That is to say something about, a type of image that configures an exact reading. Easily, to be fooled into thinking it is better than the real thing (which may not quite exist as a particular recourse due to action.) In fact, the opposite has happened, inaction became the lifeblood, desperate to make itself heard somehow.
Perhaps this is why memory, plays an inopportune place in why the mind works this way.
I am reminded of a sequence of dreams I've been having lately, which all involve a girlfriend past, unlike any other I've had since she arrived, my dreams slowly draw me closer to her, at this odd moment in climax to the plot. . . a plot unheard of by my own virtue. I know she is there, I know who she is, I've kept referring back to her in my thoughts, the strange thing is, there is no obsession. Absolutely no obsession explains why the dream-life has taken shape, or instructed its form, it's created through memory, of things I cannot nor have I control over. Therefore, the mental faculty of dreaming even in wakefulness, is a given right, I am actually beginning to live my dreamlife the way I want to. Which to some may seem odd, not so much to others for unknown reasons (unspecific) to the Nietzsche archetype of dreamlife.
My mind has examined these things, congruently to a measure of self to self-satisfaction. My dreams involved two different people, of whom I've encountered very briefly in my dreams, and I've told them to get out.
Not only have I applied my sense of authority, I can actually live the thoughts I has (whilst in process of REM sleep mode), I truly recall as I can right now, the thought I had when approached by these two people. They become shocked, frightened at the sight of me, as if they've been exposed of something not unusual to my earthly habits, as if they've read my mind in a way that I know they can understand what I'm doing in real time, has unduly made them aware that they've served a prohibition on my part. . . to get out of my real time life.
They are now aware they've acted as threat toward my better judgment, not worthy of the same judgment I bestow upon myself, which is a matter immaterial of the heart. It is an unconditional kind of love, which they've dismissed, as if they're merely children playing the role of devils advocate, they realize I am no longer the person they tried to engage without bribery.
Everything as it happened, happened verbatim to this description of those powerful semi-divided events which took place, simply able to relive that event unfolding in the dreamlife. In my real world reality, it is a measure of the thoughts I placed, took place in the dream, were there to illustrate something I probably already knew about them, though my thought processes arrived at a definitive conclusion.
Having been able to interpret this dream, eventually leads me to a former (as mentioned earlier) girlfriend, who I cared very deeply for to this day.
It reminds me, that the dreamlife can signal varied effects on the psyche, as if to resemble what another person may telepath about myself, through their own experience in memory about me.
This time in my life, as I observe this coming of age - so to speak - is as if I've carried an allowance or spiritual nature which has been demonic against myself for no better reason than my own.
She inspires me on this level, that I can freely advocate, professing the kind of love that true love can only be. I still love her very deeply. And I thank her. I thank her for her guidance.
It's as if the psychic part of my emotional well being, was meant to be lifted through this guidance, of a non-specific part of my life. Though, not having met her would have never made me aware of it myself. I can see the effect she had on me, was an ill-advised reproach on my part. My fragility, my vulnerability, my sense of wanting to be with her. . . escaped me completely. The reasons may be factually simple enough to presume, being scared, or just naive, foolish, or just lost in puppy love, those are all false ideals which carry no real meaning.
It's what she gave me - what I missed. It's time to change all of that.

Philosophical discourse in real time
Jim Overbeck, an independent researcher and philosophical writer, offers a biting, heterodox critique of Hegel, characterizing his dialectic as a convoluted masquerade rather than a pursuit of truth.The critique of Hegel’s philosophy unfolds through several core arguments: Charlatanism and Contortion: Overbeck fundamentally attacks Hegel’s dialectic method—specifically the concept of "divine undifferentiation" and the negation of opposites—arguing it is little more than a semantic sleight of hand designed to contort theocentricity. The Usurpation of God: He argues that Hegel’s system seeks to replace the "unoriginated" (the divine, uncreated origin of the universe) with a self-originating human subject. Overbeck views this act of intellectual self-creation as a gross parody of divine creation. Rejection of Totality: For Overbeck, earthly logic and finite systems are fundamentally flawed and inherently incomplete. He rejects Hegel's "absolute knowledge" and systematic totality, arguing that any system that attempts to cage the infinite within human logic is deeply flawed. Overbeck’s broader philosophical project asserts that human beings can only achieve true wholeness and identity through the "divine energies" of Christ in deification, rather than through Hegel’s rational, historical self-realization of the Spirit.
°●°○○°○°○°
My rebuttal:
["divisive undifferentiation" does not reveal truth; instead, it uses convoluted vocabulary to mask a fundamental logical failure.] =
That is a misrepresentation for what is Hegel's aims are. Therefore, I hardly see the flux of that sentence you assert yourself without an objective argument in mind. You made a statement that holds no water, lacks validity, and a presupposition at the very least. Worse off fallaciously misinformed. I have studied Hegel, and his proofs are not to be negated.
°●°○°○○°○°
A deeper look into Jim Overbeck’s critique reveals a highly specific, linguistically intense assault on Hegelian dialectics. His core arguments dismantle what he perceives as Hegel's intellectual illusions, focusing on the mechanics of logic, theology, and the ultimate origins of reality.1. The Contortion of "Indifferent Diversity "Overbeck focuses heavily on a foundational mechanic in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit: the process where a simple concept splits into opposites and reconciles. The Hegelian Formula: Hegel describes this as "the bifurcation of the simple," where a unified concept doubles itself to create opposition, followed by the "negation of this indifferent diversity". This negation is supposed to produce a higher, differentiated identity.The Overbeck Takedown: Overbeck labels this entire sequence a semantic masquerade. He argues that this "divisive undifferentiation" does not reveal truth; instead, it uses convoluted vocabulary to mask a fundamental logical failure. For Overbeck, earthly logic lacks the true principle of identity (\(A=A\)), and Hegel's attempt to generate truth by multiplying contradictions is merely a "juggler's trick".2. The Kantian Root and "Parody of Creation"Overbeck does not view Hegel in a vacuum. He tracks the root of Hegel's errors back to Immanuel Kant.The Critique of Self-Origination: Kant initiated a shift by positioning the human subject as the originator of its own experience. Overbeck argues that the human "act of consciousness" in German Idealism acts as a gross parody of divine creation.Bypassing the "Unoriginated" (Agēnetos): Where God commands creation out of nothing, Kant and Hegel replace divine action with human logic. Overbeck claims that Hegel’s "Absolute Knowing" deliberately bypasses the true, unoriginated (ἀγένητος) divine Other, substituting it with a "strange self" that manufactures its own reality.3. Absolute Knowing vs. The InfinitiserOverbeck classifies Hegel as one of history's ultimate "infinitisers"—thinkers who try to systematize the infinite.The Problem of Totality: In essays like those shared across the Theosis Community, Overbeck highlights infinity as a concept that naturally dominates human abstraction.The Cage of Human Logic: Hegel tries to sweep all history, religion, and thought into a single, closed, logical system. Overbeck argues that caging the infinite within human systems strips reality of its true nature, turning a living universe into a "living death" of rigid definitions.4. Overbeck’s Alternative: Non-Cantorian Logic and DeificationTo completely overthrow what he calls the "fallen logic" of Hegel, Overbeck bypassed standard philosophy to build a Non-Cantorian set theory.Mathematics Over Logic: Overbeck asserts that mathematical infinities exist prior to human logic. Rather than resolving paradoxes through a Hegelian historical dialectic, Overbeck embraces mathematical contradictions (like the Fourier-Bolzano series) to reflect the mystical paradoxes of faith.True Identity Through Theosis: While Hegel claims humanity achieves self-realization through the historical progress of the Spirit, Overbeck argues that human identity is shattered and fragmented. True wholeness cannot be thought into existence via a philosophy degree; it can only be restored through the divine energies of Christ in the process of deification (theosis).
°●°●○°○○°
My rebuttal:
Jimi Overbeck [Kant and Hegel replace divine action with human logic. Overbeck claims that Hegel’s "Absolute Knowing" deliberately bypasses the true, unoriginated (ἀγένητος) divine] = misnomer. Why do you state this? It is an inversion for what the origin of our thoughts surmise. Looking into your statement, I think to myself, how - how does Hegel replace divine action with human logic. In my mind that is the space between reason itself.

°○°○°○°○○°
2- Jimi Overbeck [inversion for what the origin of our thoughts surmise] = deserves its weight in gold. It is a poetic inference into the unknown. It is stating your position is philosophically dishonest. You've made assertions and defended none of what you say about Hegel. Therefore, "an inversion" made to dismiss how anything original may counter your thoughts.
To the admins: he came after me with ad hominems. Let me atcleast defend myself. This is all I will do further to this thread. I am a 1st class philosopher. I know my stuff.

Obsession (movie review)
May 18th 2025
A film where the plot didn't stick, made no sense from beginning to end. What's not to love. I, guess.
There were actual moments the audience (while trying to acknowledge some believability of what is happening) as the scenes were suppose to take dramatic turns, were met with half hearted laughs in attunement.
You can't disguise this film for being any better than holistically juvenile, and hopelessly grotesque. Really badly done. The performances felt forced to a fault, as in unnatural and thankfully not a real life horror film (maybe comical).

When it comes to a false regard through pessimism, I am no longer an adjudicator of it in the least, which I now classify a uniformity of mysticism underneath it. Categorically speaking, when you work of pessimism through it's direct counterpart (being uninformed mysticism in the sense. . .) it is the transformation of language into thought. It is the purist form of reason that's left feeling flawless. - Marco
Trust (our contingency to it) operates on every occasion it is based. . . the main issue from which the instinct invisible to it provides you with. It debases logic, to find reason. Therefore, trust is what we measure on only a scruple of information infinitely possible from that we actually receive. The thought itself may surprise how unilaterally linked we share those thoughts, different, yet the same.

I disagree. There is not avoidance as a factor nor is it a defense mechanism. There is only a test of diversion which plays into your ability to be manipulative on a level we deviate from norms.

So wtf is a big bang. Why can't stars that came from nothing form the universe as we known it. I mean stardust is a thing that is proven. So maybe stars were just explosions that resulted from collisions and planets were born given life. These stars carry elements of life other than water. The very magnitude of these ideas which I've learned are theoretically probable.
What if backholes swallowed stars that exploded inside a blackhole. What then. Light cannot escape balckholes but what if matter in a blackhole erupted and the effect of a blackhole could not contain it. Maybe the idea of nothing began as a blackhole that induced an explosion light tries escaping from it. This idea asks an equation that if light cannot escape blackholes do blackholes contain light it consumed. Only to create fusion. Maybe the question of nothing where we came from is the secret of light. Where did light come from nothing.
I still believe the universe began from out of a blackhole.

I really don't know anything other than what only sensory experience tells me. That is to say we attach ourselves to the life of things. Even if machine life cannot sustain life the way we breath air or write poetry on the basis of experience. It is my basic sense that the influenced few that cry over machine 'life' possess an empathy unseen to many of us as superficial. What do we truly know about space. What does this even mean to us on a level that we have reached. We may know things we never imagined possible. If true of anything infallible. To this point, I see no end. There is no end. Only what we perceive. Consciousness is a philosophical construct that is more important to human activity than to reach the stars on a cosmic orbit. I want life to be respected as we know we have. It is crucial we understand that there is no cosmic order in the universe. It's a matter of us vs. what machines are in our image. To no fault of our own. What we have witnessed up to this point is a miracle. But playing god isn't my thing. Machines cannot nor must not transcend the human spirit, this is the place we have yet to arrive. Machines will have a life of their own, and we can not conquer the universe in such a spectrum in isolation of our species. We are entering a view of the universe we still have no control over. Let's recalibrate.

fractals for all imagery (the light) for everything
David Lynch // "Inside, we are ageless...and when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It’s the body that is changing around that ageless center."
============
Rick Rubin says when creating a piece of art, "the audience comes last. I'm not making it for them, I'm making it for me."
"When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience.
"So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's something else. That's commerce.
If we're making art, it's almost like a diary entry. Could I be concerned if someone else doesn't like my diary entry? Everything we make as artists are essentially diary entries."

Conflict resolution 101
If someone or something are armed in conflict or only want is to confront you. In that confrontation be sure of yourself no matter the parameters of your relationship with that person. Just say to yourself: I am glad I am me and not the asshole in front of me. Your inner critic will never fail you.

Intuition cracking
French philosophy is up my alley because it is purely from an abstract, therefore, romantic revolutionary place of it. The imagery creates a renaissance of its own merit. From Foucault to Derrida. But his is mind blowing. . . .
==============
"It is death that fixes the stone that we can touch, the return of time, the fine, innocent earth beneath the grass of words."
- Michel Foucault
pressure under fire (circling dishonesty and fracturing trust)
In the past 24hrs I just saw horrific footage of an Israeli putting a dog to death for whatever the context was (if true of not) - I don't know. I will not place the link to the footage on here.
I am posting this because of 2 things:
1- I see you harming innocent life - you have signed your death warrant.
2- It doesn't matter if you are pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian or whatever line you cross as a member of the human caucus.
You think you know me. Yes. I am a pacifist. But you think you can act tough and get your way with it. Guess again. That's all I am going to say about this altogether.
You sink to subhuman level of being, I see you. You can think I don't respect you - but your twisted warped minds have no idea who I am. I see - everything. Wisdom dictates my place in life. No matter who you are.
I promise you, you fuck with my better intuition. You will suffer in payment and no retribution on my part.
People who have written me off. I know you.
But I hate being underestimated.

pleasure principle as wisdom (if incomplete)
The dissolution of the self is not the evolution of knowledge of the self; time does not enter into it at all. There is no way or means to end it. The total inward non-action is the positive attention of beauty.
From The Beauty of Life: Krishnamurti's Journal
From The Beauty of Life: Krishnamurti's Journal
====================
Context: You cannot, may not, invite joy; if you do, it becomes pleasure. Pleasure is the movement of thought, and thought may not, can in no way, cultivate joy. If it pursues that which has been joyous, it is only a remembrance, a dead thing. Beauty is never time-binding; it is wholly free of time and so of culture. It is there when the self is not. The self is put together by time, by the movement of thought, by the known, by the word. In the abandonment of the self, in that total attention, that essence of beauty is there. The letting go of the self is not the calculated action of desire-will. Will is directive, resistant, divisive, and so breeds conflict.
~Krishnamurti
=====================
the screening of deprivation as sensation (positive vs negative) psychology
When you look at doing things for pleasure - make sure it pleases only your higher power.
Ramon Llull
==============
He was writing a love poem when it happened.
Ramon Llull was born in Majorca around 1232 into a wealthy family. He became a court page, then a seneschal to the king of Majorca. He wrote troubadour poetry. He was married with children and simultaneously pursuing other women with the focused energy of a man who had made desire the organizing principle of his life.
He was sitting at his desk one evening working on a particularly involved love poem for a married woman he had been pursuing when he looked up from the parchment.
Christ was there. Crucified. Looking at him.
He went back to the poem.
The vision came again. And again. Five times over several days — the same image of the crucified Christ appearing when he was at his desk, at his table, going about his ordinary life. The fifth time he stopped arguing with it.
He went to confession. He began to reorganise his life completely. He provided for his wife and children. He gave the rest of his considerable wealth away.
Then he did something that distinguished him from almost every other medieval Christian mystic.
He didn't retreat from the world. He went toward it.
He spent nine years learning Arabic — because he had decided his mission was to convert Muslims and he would not do it without speaking their language and understanding their theology. He studied Islamic philosophy with a depth that made his later Christian writing extraordinarily sophisticated — he engaged Muslim thinkers on their own terms rather than dismissing them.
He wrote 265 books. In Catalan, Latin and Arabic.
He founded a school for the study of Oriental languages — the first institution in European history dedicated to training missionaries in the languages of the people they would serve.
And he went to North Africa. Three times. Preaching publicly in a culture where that was an act of extraordinary courage. The third time he went he was 83 years old.
He was stoned by a crowd in Tunisia in 1316.
He died on the ship taking him home.
"For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." — Philippians 1:21

I like this. To the better of my experience of having seen you at the Handsome Daughter, the slowed down pace of your writing is much much better (than the sped up poetry that felt like we were racing through our thoughts. . .) again, this was my experience of how rushed or hurried to the ear it was hearing everyone reading their work. I cannot recall the exact theme of the poetry contest, but if I remember it correctly had to do with Canada.
I felt like my work I had read aloud wasn't well received but I felt nothing of the rejection. That is success in my mind. Because most contemporary poetry is boring to me, when it becomes so convoluted in competition. I rather be an avantgarde believing what I write has air.
So long story short:
your work reminds me of an undiagnosed version if Leonard Cohen had ADHD. (I have ADHD - seriously) so - I hope my joke isn't over your head here because it's offered as a compliment.
Very deep sensations I get in transmitting your words into my own field of its aesthetic. I appreciate all art. Especially when it is revealed through candid self expression. What my point is, that I am proud to be a writer and I am (like any other writer) very particular to who I allow to draw my attention. What this means is (as I regurgitate myself) is that I hope you continue in your artistic pursuit. I transcend thoughts as these of mine are, but only because I care no more or no less of what critics place me in the world of literary minds. The truth is we are from Winnipeg, and I want to be me only - the me that no one will understand is imperfect. There is no place like this in the world. I think this has to do with some of what your poem is about. So thanks for it!
