That civilizing force. Everything’s boring now. It’s all scripted. You have you entire life laid out for you, like noble children of old, only now it’s everybody. I don’t think this is the kind of egalitarianism past generations dreamed of.
Now everything is cheap. Cheap, yet expensive. It’s cheap to make, expensive to pursue. But pursue it, we must. Why? I don’t know, because all the other lemmings are doing it. And if you or I don’t do it, too, the lemming police with baton you in your lemming head. The boundaries are strictly defined – in this world of blurry, hazy transitions, it’s mind boggling how precise our boundaries are. We’ve given up the natural transition between root and mycelial networks and soil for binary dilemmas and mathematical precision.
Some days I just want to watch it all burn down.
Maybe I’m a monster, or maybe it’s psychosis. Who knows. I’m feeling super irritable lately. Once this patch is crossed, I can start saving up for a little plot of land and a trailer or something.

That’s true. There’s overwhelming correlation between suicide and the city.
Suicide and The City – sounds like a really weird sitcom.
I really like this. Sometimes I just wanna burn it all down too. Or at least let my body burn off to non existence
