    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

    ― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

    Bunch of tree dwelling apes who developed language to tell good vs leoparded trees after most of the trees died; went too far and are going extinct by finding a great filter they can’t invent out of.

    Reality is the matter we act upon, using energy.

    I believe it is your responsibility to properly use energy you control. Moreover, you will always have excess energy that you need to dispose of somehow (living things need to collect more energy than is absolutely required, or they risk death).

    Note that a collection of energy that is expended improperly is called a “bomb”.

    That which we call substance and reality is shadow and illusion, and that which we call shadow and illusion is substance and reality.

    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    Everyone is an actor and I’m in a truman show. Except the ratings are one of five stars and nobody want to watch this shitshow and the writer are already trolling me with these ridiculous plotlines. Felon President? What next?

    Chaos+ entropy+ lots of space and time. Everything is in motion of some kind. Nothing will ever be like it once was. Enjoy yourself when you can. Love your self and respect life. Be kind to those that have less than you. Look at creation and wonder.
