With Love From A Blue Rock Quotes

“How Not to Use AI (Sonnet 2651-2652) Every artist has a central art, an art that defines their life, keep that art pure and human, till the day you die. The medium may change with time, but the material must be human. I repeat, AI may assist humanity, but not substitute humanity. Humans are not much bright to begin with, with all our jungle biases and prejudices, and leaning heavily on generative ai, would only turn society into meatmarket. AI is not the problem, mindlessness is, in fact, it's stupid not to make use of a marvelous new instrument out of rigidity, but you must draw a clear line between human originality and ai assistance. For example, I literally cannot remember when was the last time I picked up a physical pen, as all my books are written on a computer. And at some point, I might even consider using AI for minor bookcover edits, not generate the cover mark you, but strictly for tweaks of the images. I won't even let your little bards and byrons anywhere near my writing, let alone algorithms. I am Naskar, the canon is Naskar, it'll remain Naskar, till the universe collapses and the next one begins.”

“Normalizing Case Specific AI Use (Naskaristana 2663-2666) Don't waste your time on the dilemma of, to use or not to use ai, ask instead, how can you use ai in your particular field, without compromising your integrity! It's not about avoiding ai, it's about delegating menial tasks to ai - fire, steam, electricity, internet, ai, these are all tools, sooner or later you will adopt it, and this comes from a person whose literature was heisted without consent to train algorithms, among many other living writers. Sure, unlike electricity and internet, the origin of gen-ai is downright dubious, so much so that even bombing these ai companies would not be unjustified, just like bombing america would be a great humanitarian initiative, but that won't solve the exploitation problem in the long run - so we'd have to find meaningful alternatives to deal with such contraptions of heinous origins, instead of just freaking out, whether it's algorithm or america. AI slop is still slop, American history is still a crimescene, therefore we have to deslopify ai, and disinfect america of its foundational knack for terrorism. Also, one more thing, ai is a radically new territory, even the makers of ai don't know what they're doing, so don't expect to figure out everything overnight, don't be too hard on yourself pressured by hypocrites; the idea is not to outsource your ideas, whether to ai or to hypocritical primates, so take your time, and figure out your own ethics of ai in case specific context. Use ai to be more meaningful than productive - for example, bring inspiring figures to life, and make them have discourse with each other, but always maintain their original texts. Or like I recently (March, 2026) used ai to produce a few audio materials, based on some of the sonnets, these tracks sound like music but they are not, even though the lyrics are mine, it's not music until I pick up the guitar and sing myself, or some real musician does; I see these ai audio tracks as accessibility extensions - in fact, accessibility could be the greatest boon of ai. The canon is the art, the audios are just more courier, both the ai tracks and my own voice recordings. Main point is this: music without musician is not music, poetry without poet is not poetry, art without artist is not art, simulation without experience is delusion. You can 3d print furniture, but you cannot 3d print art - and alas, only a true artist can know what this means!”

“I am the laboratory (Sonnet 2676) Your dictionaries don't matter, your philosophies don't matter, your scriptures don't matter, your constitutions don't matter, your courts, crowns, vaticans, and washingtons don't matter - bring your brain, heart and backbone, but leave everything else at the door, your dictionary, your scripture, your constitution, your philosophy, or do not enter, there'll be no point. Truth is a garden, not a factory, which means dead leaves must fall, new branches must be tendered to. I am the laboratory, I am the court room, I am the operating theatre, I am the decontamination zone.”

“Burn the verses, I'll write fiction - burn the fiction, I'll write music - burn the music, I'll adopt a new language - burn the language, I'll pick up paintbrush - burn the paintbrush, I'll grab a soldering iron. Take away one medium, I'll adopt a new one, apes don't have the braincells to sabotage my mission. The only unstoppable organism in the universe, is the mind that embraces evolution over limitation.”

“Pluralism is Civilizational Emergency (Sonnet 2609-2610) Mainstream earth history, which is systematically bloated with euro philosophy, euro theology, euro morality, is corrupted to the bone, all propagated as carrier of truth, while in fact, europe is the cradle of lies and cruelty - the human race comes from Africa, but inhumanity originated in Europe. Indigenous people wear animal skin as clothes, it's called uncivilized, privileged people wear the same skin, expensively processed in chemicals, and it's called fashion. Arabic is one of the rarest soulful languages spoken by the human race, yet in the hands of eurocentric propaganda apes are conditioned like pavlov's dogs into believing it to be the most sinister. Europe did give us pragmatism, which has its place but only as a toddler among the constellations of civilizations - empathy originated in Mother Africa, naturalism originated in Latin America, divine love originated in Arabia, equilibrium originated in China, integration originated in India. Pluralism is not a polite idealism, pluralism is civilizational emergency. Divided we are space-racing monkeys, integrated we are Upright Humanity.”

“World War Naskar (Sonnet 2699-2700) You've had generations of ape scholars selling the cannibals of Europe as saviors of the world, now watch one Naskar and his Earth Soldiers bring down your entire industrial complex of conversion, cleansing, and holy cockery, without lifting a single weapon! By the time I'm finished, descendants of even the staunchest supremacist will be engulfed with tolerance madness - by the time I'm finished, each human with the slightest inclusive spark will be mutated into a full-blown multicultural seismic cataclysm. You spent centuries manufacturing lies as law, prejudice as policy, cleansing as civilizing, now watch one Naskar and his ablaze soldiers establish the first proper Human Civilization, with no one dominant culture, no one supreme religion, no majority, no minority, no privileged, no marginalized - where all streams inhabit the human veins, not as oil and water, but as one lifeblood, enhancing consciousness into completeness.”

“I am the warfare (A Very Naskar Sonnet, 2698) My brain is the planet's largest organic manufacturing plant of multiculturalism, so don't, I beg you, don't trigger me too much, because once the hate crosses my threshold, I won't hate you back, instead, I will inject your language, your culture into my bloodstream, and pour out literature at such a vast scale, that before you know it, your offspring will be studying my canon as their native heritage - my human-centric divinity will be their divinity, my life-centric culture will be their culture, my service-centric science will be their science, my earth-centric existence will be their existence. I am the warfare, and the rewriting of civilization started decades ago, when I made slave out of the most tyrant language on earth. Show me love, I'll respond with a quiet smile - throw me hate, I'll metabolize it and rewrite your history.”

“Your offspring will be studying my canon as their native heritage – my human-centric divinity will be their divinity, my life-centric culture will be their culture, my service-centric science will be their science, my earth-centric existence will be their existence.”

“The First Human (Sonnet 2632) Apes have lords and ladies, I don't. Apes have kings and queens, I don't. My time is born of soil and streets, my calendar transcends rome and greece. Apes have highnesses and excellencies, for apes have compost for a brain. Ape chase the "after", over life, for apes have alcohol in their vein. No wall is tall enough to contain my height, no pulpit sacred enough to baptize my eye, no table broad enough to accommodate my shoe, no accolade is bright enough to add to my light. Apes have cops and courts, I don't, for apes have guano for a cortex. I don't need angels in the air, I carry my wings in my pocket.”

“Naskarnomics (Sonnet 2641) Ethics 101: do not take ethics lessons from America. Theology 101: do not take divinity lessons from the Vatican. Geopolitics 101: don't take democracy lessons from the West. Economics 101: don't take economy lessons from rich white men. Don't take innovation lessons from AGI companies. Don't take activism lessons from filmstars. Don't take yoga lessons from chakra salesmen. Do not take medical advise from influencers. Don't take feminism lessons from rich white women. Don't take masculinity lessons from chauvinist pigs. Don't take culture lessons from nationalists. Don't take religion lessons from fundamentalists. Don't take justice lessons from the bent. Don't ask life directions from the dead.”

“Go Burn My Verses (Sonnet 2636) Burn the verses, I'll write fiction - burn the fiction, I'll write music - burn the music, I'll adopt a new language - burn the language, I'll pick up paintbrush - burn the paintbrush, I'll grab a soldering iron. Take away one medium, I'll adopt a new one, apes don't have the braincells to sabotage my mission. The only unstoppable organism in the universe, is the mind that embraces evolution over limitation. You keep asking, how do I write so immense - I keep asking, where's the off switch for this! Every time I decide to take a breather, ideas start pouring, so I keep typing restless. You're welcome to burn all my verses, still you cannot dampen the spark of oneness. Today I'm Naskar, tomorrow another - truth will find a postman, across time and space.”
