they say the reason

Image from the original Instagram post for “they say the reason”

they say the reason
humans evolved with special powers
like creativity and logic (and love?)
is because of fire

the unpredictability of
staring at a flame
memzmorized centuries of homo sapiens
to fathom and prepare for any outcome

other meditative practices that offer similar benefits:
bird watching
waves crashing
reading
fucking
snowfalling
cooking
gardening
carving
drawing
painting
chess

the more time you invest in these things
the larger your world will become
and the more infinitely expansive it can become
and this will always be true till the day you stop

maybe if they want to make AI smarter than us
the technofascists should train the robots to fuck each other
and only then maybe they can show us a better way
