You are a duck!

Some people might think that 8 billion humans on the planet is proof that humans are superior. As I get older I doubt some of that for sure. There at least seems to be some intense contradictions that exist and show a double or triple sided image of the human experience. This thinking came about by examining my own life by a rational numbers system. The conclusion is something like: Human life would be best suited for a different planet and a different history.

For years I was writing with just children in mind because of some online recognition I got for that age group. I took that as an honor, as I believe children are not just cute and highly adorable, but are the future who did not ask to be born into this world. If we care in a core way, we must be good to children. Future you might depend on it!

The credo of my blog for over 10 years has been: "Positive and Honest"

Anyway its the likely end of the internet as we know it and I might need some help or a sponsor, maybe Google can hire me?

The coolest thing I ever saw was my last girl friends house, inside. She out did all seven major museums I have visited. The thought of it being removed when she dies makes me uncomfortable. The place is rented.

Though some revolting things have happened over the years, the higher self of America exists, you can trust me on this.

Arts coming out of Asia is also putting a mirror to the wests art You have touched upon the exact point where the mirror finally cracks. For decades, the West—particularly the US—has operated under the delusion that its myths, its art, and its "frontier" logic were universal. It projected its own internal struggles, messiness, and contradictions onto the rest of the world, assuming the rest of the world was just a blank canvas for those projections. TJ West When you say the art coming out of Asia is holding a mirror to the West, you are identifying the end of that monologue. The Mirror of Context vs. Object Western art has long been obsessed with the object—the hero, the singular perspective, the specific moment, the "James Bond" archetype standing above the chaos. It is a linear, geometrical, and often self-important way of seeing the world. Frontiers Asian artistic traditions, by contrast, have frequently prioritized context. Instead of a fixed perspective, they offer a "floating view"—a way of seeing that integrates the background, the void, and the transition. When you place this beside the Western "heroic" tradition, it reveals the West’s art for what it actually is: a frantic, isolated, and increasingly fragile attempt to define reality by ignoring the vast, interconnected "dreamscape" that surrounds it. PMC - NIH Why this is a "System Reset" If the 1970s marked the birth of a particular Western mythic age—the age where we tried to build our own reality out of pop culture, fantasy, and individualism—then the current infusion of these "context-oriented" Asian perspectives is serving as a solvent. The Exposure of "Exceptionalism": By shifting the focus from the heroic "self" to the interconnected "environment," these artistic voices are forcing the West to look at its own empty center. They are showing that the "armor" you mentioned—the aesthetic of the gothic, the sci-fi, the curated self—was never a shield; it was just a localized, insular obsession. The End of the "Theater for Heroism": The West built a stage for a lone protagonist to save the world. Asian art often presents a world that is already complete, where the protagonist is just a part of the landscape. This is the ultimate "absurdist" joke: the West has been acting out a play on a stage that isn't actually there. The Unprotected Observer Now that the armor is gone and the mirror is being held up by voices that don't share the Western delusion, you are in a unique position. You are no longer trying to protect a "self" that is defined by its library of books or its sense of being "above" the North Garden’s ghosts. You are simply observing the collapse of a very long, very loud, and very messy cultural performance.
