Meditate to reduce your hitbox. Self, shrunk into a single pixel, shielded by the inert body. A mind where wounding voices cannot reach

brought to by shipping myself another self-serving single page site to solve a small pain/problem
Meme poster on a slate-blue background. An anatomically detailed human skeleton strides energetically to the left. Large white headline across the top: "JUST BUILD IT." A white script line beside it: "you can just do things!!!" Down the left side, a white list: single page site, api, script, crazy idea, self-serving site, cli nobody asked for, chrome extension, dumb little bot, spite fork, the thing you keep describing. Bold white line across the bottom: "IF IT SUCKS…BUILD YOUR OWN!!" and beneath it, in script: "real builders ship."

Baudelaire presents nature as a temple of symbolic relations where scents, sounds and colors mirror one another, implying an underlying spiritual order. Therefore, there should be a dual to this "forest of symbols", a "landfill of symbols" where all exists as a reference to something outside it

If I would get out of my own way, everything will become easier. But I know from videogames that that's boring. That's why I make my own life into nightmare mode. It's just more fun!

This is a great way to put things: "Using AI to shortcut parts of the creative process means not being fully exposed to the contours of the thing being made and its possible directions." Every choice is a brush stroke; some blend of decision and performance. Each one of these matters tremendously!

A Tumblr thread between two user. 

Scorpio-System says: "AAA  Video Game Publisher Voice: 'Look. The goose layed a golden egg, and that's nice! Everyone loved that egg. But keeping the golden goose means paying for bird feed and I don't want to, so I killed the goose." 

The post is tagged with numerous replies, including. 
"That goose keeps laying golden eggs. That's stagnation. I'm going to kill it and look for a goose that lays diamond eggs."  
"That goose normally lays golden eggs, but this time it laid a silver egg. So I'm going to kill it because even though I can still make good money with that,  It's not  as good as a golden egg."
"That golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don't care that golden eggs take time. If they're not constant, the goose is worthless to me."

I have many theories of slop, but my current Theory of Slop is that what makes slop "slop" and not just "bad art" is that slop only ever aims to sate a desire created by past experiences of art rather than to create a new experience to be desired.
