"A lot of knowledge is a dangerous thing," said the skull. "A lot more dangerous than just a little. I always used to say that, when I was alive."
"When was that, exactly?"
"Can't remember. I think I was pretty knowledgeable. Probably a teacher or philosopher, something of that kidney. And now I'm on a bench with a bird crapping on my head."
"Very allegorical," said the raven.
Terry Pratchett, Soul Music

I am going to try and put this in as few words as possible, because my roommate and I spent an hour talking about this today; but there is truly nothing more incredible to me than human creativity.
Like, you’re telling me someone made this? You’re telling me this art came from someone’s own hand? You’re telling me this story came from someone’s mind? You’re telling me that someone as flawed and mortal and lost as me made this?
There is a beauty in math and in science, I am not here to argue that. But mathematics existed long before us. Science will exist long after us. And while the knowledge we have is a wonder, it is not ours. We did not make one and one equal two, we only learned and accepted that it did.
But our art is not universal. Our music was born through us. Our writing will die with us. And there is so much more beauty in knowing that we have made something. People have language and culture and poetry not because it was fact, but by our own whim and design.
This is something AI can never fulfill. An algorithm cannot create, it can only compile. A computer generated image has no link to us, to human emotion. To human flaw and struggle and passion.
Art is beautiful, and creation is the most powerful thing a person can do. Your stories, your art, hell, your fanfic and original characters, they exist not because of universal laws of math and physics, but because of your mind and skill; and if that isn’t the most amazing thing in the world, then what is?

actually thinking abt love in dave malloy’s work in general. like. love is everything physical that you feel and that you see and you have to believe in it or or doesn’t mean anything and it’s cosmic and it’s comets and looking through your telescope together and it’s making art together and when your hands touch over the piano and does he love you does he love me you’ve read his letters and it can be secret but it can also be in the tiny normal gestures that mean something different because you’re in love and the internet can make it just as much as it can break it and it’s being annoyed by each other but it doesn’t matter because you’re together and your lives are each other’s and i could be so good at love i could be so good at love i could be so good at love i could be so good at love

I don't really like waking up early, but there's something just different about waking up at 5 in the morning to load the car for a trip and seeing the sky slowly change collors
Just as I woke up it was the prettiest shade of purple ever, with some blues and pinks, a big, almost full moon and some stars. Now, it's mostly white with the prettiest baby blue I've seen and distant fog in the mountains
Sometimes life is just so pretty

I wonder what Baudrillard would think about hot topic. Like as a commercial simulation of alternative culture, and how that effects perception and communication. Especially when comparing Hot Topic and Spencers... This is gonna be my next writing project once I'm done with the fanfiction I'm writing.
