“God Eyes (Sonnet)
Perception is not a measure of reality,
perception is a measure of distance -
from afar the sun is a dot,
from farther the milkyway is a dot,
from farther still the universe is a dot.
Likewise, from afar God is an entity,
from up close, God is a state of mind,
get closer still, and you are God.
Perception is like an oscillator circuit,
alter the value of the resistor or
capacitor, and you change the oscillation.
Likewise, truth changes based on the
resistance, ie. ignorance, and capacitance,
ie. awareness, of your vantage point.”

“We mustn't let Silicon Valley off the hook, but we should be honest: much of the time, we give in to distraction willingly. Something in us wants to be distracted, whether by our digital devices or anything else - to not spend our lives on what we thought we cared about the most.”

“The tragicomic paradox of satire: its targets often embrace their caricature, mistaking ridicule for recognition, choosing self-affirmation’s blue pill over truth’s sting, as a primate, blind to their own reflection.”
“That could explain her reactions, with no immediate family, maybe she hasn't gotten the chance to learn healthy coping mechanisms.”

“La psicologia dell’epoca di Jung e Freud cerca di radicarsi in concetti fisici (come l’energia potenziale) per giustificarsi scientificamente. Vediamo quindi il solco profondo lasciato dalle prime critiche alla psicologia, che la spingono ad abbandonare una personificazione dell’inconscio a favore di un concetto di inconscio non personificato, più neutro e scientifico. Forse questa deriva che ha preso la psicologia, cioè il cercare di giustificarsi scientificamente con concetti presi in prestito alle scienze naturali, ha rappresentato un danno che ha impedito alla psicologia di fare propri concetti apparentemente legati alla religione, come il concetto di anima.”

“But in the muck—with salamanders, fairies, and dragons—I am coming to understand, in a visceral way, that being grounded is not a punishment; it is a privilege.”

“Sometimes I think if we didn’t have these problems the whole world would stop spinning on her axis, we’d all stop spinning on our axises, axes, or whatever you want to call them, and then we’d have to settle into the nasty business of finding a way to be happy.”
