I agree with Anna, this is powerful, and really says something. As soon as I saw its shape, I somehow knew it needed to be read aloud. My kitchen thanks you for these needed words.
Humbled that you read it out loud to your kitchen. What a world to think something could come out as a simple thought in a brain on one side of the planet and end up bouncing off the walls and the washing up liquid in a kitchen on the other... it is actually crazy this is possible. Thank you for doing that :)
I 100% agree. The rate at which our species is branching out as a pattern of intelligent energy through spacetime is positively breakneck, on the cosmic scale of things. It’s not hard to imagine a future in which there are actual respectable AI poets, or that our consciousness will ride much more directly on the fabric of reality. What’s a few more centuries compared to 14 billion years? And imagine what we could accomplish in science and technology in those 200 years.
Thanks for the comment, Pamela. Sorry I am sometimes not sure where to reply when its both a note and a comment. But I really appreciate getting both and your support means a huge amount, thank you. :)
Thanks so much. Yea I like to have a good image with each post but I didn't really have a photo which fit the theme. I have considered some shots of the original notebook in the past but always a bit concerned its a little boring... anyway this time I went with it :)

Wow, David. So deep, so intense. So raw and one questions "why"?

Powerful David, love the urgency and energy. And seeing the original handwriting.
