and it all feeds my creative process. but also it just makes life more fun and interesting. that’s why i like expanding my mind, it lets me see more depth in everyday life

like the irony of it all is that i have to read lots of history and philosophy and science that isn’t always chill so i can like, come up with awesome ideas. ideas that i like anyways. i do it for me cause studying and learning a lot about the world makes me feel more alive in a way

but we're also participants in it, and can only see or perceive as much as we can imagine. and there's plenty of room in the idea to do nothing. or go for a walk or whatever. because it's all included as a choice out of infinite possibilities

this entire theory is incomplete, but posits a speculative endpoint the "terminal frame of reference" which looks out on all time, all space, all possibility, all memory, all depth, all history, all religion, every simulation and possibility forever. but the closer you get the more is generated

and that our understanding can only be as complex as our ability to imagine complexity, infinity, and potential. so that by deepening our theories of infinity and memory, and history, we actually expand the universe itself in doing so towards a deeper frame, containing even more reality than before

the core tenet of this idea is that everything matters and everything has a place, often more than one

and expanding into the cosmos of course

just like the world we already live in, except moreso

but the other key being that such a system would be infinite in scale, and size, and complexity, and could never be comprehended or mapped, or understood

so this frame would contain all memory and all imagination, all forms, anything which can be imagined or constructed, or created, simulated, whatever..would all be given a context. all segments, all timelines, everything projected backwards from this frame of frames, transcending all history, of it

and so the final ending has to be the most complex, most multi-facted, high-dimensional, irreducible system of systems, frame of frames, containing all possibility forever. my thinking is that we may never arrive there, we approach it like zeno's arrow paradox, getting closer without ever arriving

where i'm landing lately is in opposition against "beginnings", basically there's no such thing as a true beginning, all beginnings are false. only endings can be true, and only endings can make the experiences which made them possible true, redeeming the falseness of their coming into being

there's no such thing as "the present" or as "now" there's only memory, only the depth of time and space and their infinite ever-unfolding structures and forms as they multiply and grow in complexity for ever...containing everything which made them possible in the first place as memory

everything in its right place. taken to a universal, infinite scale, could be a memory system of the future. the grand archives, whatever you wanna call it. it all belongs somewhere, in many ways, in many places, the multiplicity of memory...lives on tbh

from the perspective of truth, of reality, every context is an essential piece of the whole and none can be denied their place in it. and as nice as it is to imagine calling some contexts "wrong", to do that is to oppose the integrity of reality itself. which is a fool's game if you think about it?
comment in response to

context is what holds contradiction, and organizes it. everything in its right place, means at least in part, everything makes sense seen through its appropriate context. context explains everything, and frames of reference are themselves contexts. of which there are infinite...examples

their relationship is literally everything to me...to be honest....it's one of the best friendships in any book i've read

from acceptance, what we really need is to move to a new stage, healing, meaning, integration, transcendence, whatever you wanna call it. the purpose of a system is what it does, lets get to moving on

it's the fog at night and the stars, paired with the real time shadows that really do it for me

mellow also looks beautiful, it has shadows, rays of light through the trees, and my computer fan doesn't even turn on which is why i'm using it for playing. and it's also beautiful. here's what mellow looks like

i've tried a lot of different shaders, the goal has been to run something on my macbook pro m1 that is performant. the screenshots are from Complementary Shaders, which is my favorite visually (it has the northern lights). but i've been playing with one called mellow modrinth.com/shader/mellow

so i'm playing on a modified version of normal difficulty. food still matters, because of normal mode. and there are still monsters in the nether as well. so i have this great thing going where weapons and armor are still useful on the new moon, and in the nether, but then the rest is peaceful

what fascism and capitalism can’t handle is a universal theory of memory. they’re based on the erasure of memory, the erasure of the self, the erasure of complexity. but we need complexity and memory, and history, that’s what the world is made of

of course we may need a new more complex notion of history, a multidimensional one, history as an ecosystem, as social memory, something like that

the whole “year zero” fantasy is what capitalism already does all the time. that fantasy lacks integrity, it rejects history, it throws away the lessons of history, and it can not lead to stability or health. but we need all the lessons we can get
