constantly consciously thinking is like being a micromanager of your brain

Dealers will say anything to sell you weed.

I'm ten time more conscious than years ago. Fucking hate it. Always aware, no auto pilot in exception of coding

@retoor Not an exact parallel but I'm ten times more stupid. Fucking love it. I operate at such reduced mental capacity I can hardly notice the indubitably bottomless depth of my own absolute idiocy.

What's my secret? Crack. Of course it's fucking crack. Max Wright 4 life.

@Liebranca more stupid than what tho

@jestdotty Why, dumber than the very concept of intellectual quotient, the most magnificent of all bumbling fools.

@jestdotty Good sir, multitudes echoing each other's inner vociferations is by itself innocuous; two who've never spoken may all by themselves arrive at the exact same conclusion.

Where harm and corruption begin is in the recitation of a single truth among a thousand lies, so that the unattentive may be fooled by the appearance of revelation, and so that detractors exhaust themselves unravelling falsehood -- a deceiver attains power through the proliferation of their profane speech by either mouth.

Those are the parrots you think of, but their crime is not repeating as such.

My speech is not mine either. These words are drawn from primal corners, that question existence to bring self into being; memory fabricating subsistence through metaphorical destruction.

And it all bears meaning to a broken shell.

@jestdotty everyone repeats because we're all bots. Heard about dead internet theory?

@jestdotty on #2: it's a millenia old comment about seers, who sometimes tell true but much more often spin pure fabrication, transposed to modern deceitful rhetoric. The effect is the same. If part of the speech is truth, or appears to be, it can in a sense conceal the surrounding falseness; one apparent truth can compel the listener to either believe or entertain the rest.

That is to say, this is an ancient and very well-established form of manipulation, that is paradoxically made more effective by critics of the speech in question. Because they will, invariably, attack the fable portion of a sermon and not the one seemingly veracious point that gives it fuel for replication, which in turn makes the critique seem insincere, furthering the reasonable doubt that this type of deception is built on.

On #4: I am utterly insane, yes.
