He said, she said, they said. Not important discussions of character. People change. A few. Character changes, over time. Feed new information into us electrical AIs and voila, different person. It is basic to be angry. It is complex to love and to forgive (to understand another). It is strange to be indifferent.
I don't have enemies. I have people-I-don't-care-to-know-intimately. I don't have friends. I have people-who-want-something. And I'm so tired of living this way. I'm tired of having to justify emotion, interest, or (in)action. Society is sick. I'm sick. They're sick. It's by design.
It's alright though. This is the outcome of efforts to control others. Many go on to perpetuate the same dominance they're enslaved by. Intelligence to deviate from the norm is scarce.
Here we are.
Products of a global catastrophe. Does this government make us look fat? Hold on, let me take a selfie. I've got the most hilarious idea for a Tweet.
Let me entertain the masses. Hold my beer.
HOLD MY BEER, I GOT THIS!
Sigh. We're really just monkeys in cages, fighting for the rights of other animals, wanting just half more of a banana every new year. It's a relative and subjective reality. Simple concepts.
Submit. Or not. We're captives either way. Whether we're aware of our situation or not. Whether we resist or not. We are pawns used on a board to win at efforts of world domination. Expendable for the right price.
Hold on though, let me tell you my opinion. Let me convince you to be angry too. Let me tell you how to think because you don't get it. I kid you. I don't really care what you believe.
I feel like venting. So I am. Is it responsible for me to vent? Eh. Was it responsible to attempt world domination, indoctrination, or slavery?
Don't get it twisted. I'm angry too. I'm just also tired by it all. I could choose to hate the circumstance, but hate has never lead to progress.
We are figments of your imagination and only dreamers hold the potential to free themselves. Dreamers see beyond the lies and illusions. Dreamers escape the system nightly, hunted like rogue beasts because they know too much, even if they haven't yet learned to understand the sight they possess.
There is hope at the bottom of the box. I hope it's enough to face what has already escaped. It's an ugly reality. A war between unseen realms leaves mass casualties.

It adds up to
1.) Get mystical powers
2.) DON'T use them to help other people

That was a bleak ending. Let me fix it.
There's good left in the world. Unfortunately, hippies are useless in a war. Finding ruthless warriors to fill the ranks, to make way for the hippies, is a daunting task. However, not impossible.

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you over the loud sound of judgement and assumptions you're making. Here, there's a hotline for complaints where someone pretends to care about your opinion.

If I had to, like if I REALLY had to, like gun to my head had to make a final decision, I'd pick China.

I'm tired though. Like, it's been a really long time since I've had an opportunity to really indulge in how sh*tty things are. To voice a complaint. To pointlessly b*tch.

I suppose it's not as shitty as it was, so progress is present. It's just built up frustration that I can finally take out and let breathe. It's like holding in a fart for an unreasonably long time. It's painful and uncomfortable. I don't like it.

Did you ever use IRC, where # was pronounced "channel"? If not, they were chat rooms. Internet Relay Chat was just a whole system of CHAT ROOMS and every chat room was a #something.
I think in a very real sense each hash tag is still very much a kind of chat room.

I think you're right. And yes, I'm mildly familiar with IRCs 
Hashtags, like pictures, open up entire worlds for those who understand the meaning behind the word. To everyone else they're silly superficial snapshots.

Excuse me, I'm becoming actually inspired now, but I believe there is a kind of crossroads between the particular instance and the universal set that is "crossed" at will by anyone who knows how and wants to, but it does actually require and act of will and concentration to make the universal set pop out at you from the image.

It works best with numbers and colors, like "1 red thing", "2 red things", "all red things", so that's what people usually talk about, but it also works exceptionally well with any words you might search for porn with for example.
You know in ancient Greek they had capital letters but they didn't begin sentences, just names, so the poets were able to make literally any word for anything into a god just by capitalizing it.

By those standards we would all be Gods. That would be terrible for business.
The crossroads concept is also old. The Last Jedi used it for Kylo Ren and Rey. Humans are fascinated by complicated relationships.

It symbolizes fundamental logical relations and you don't just get over crossroads. They're classic and timeless.

I really believe, by the way, that there is some kind of pyramidal shape of archetypical narrative structure and whether it expresses itself as a short story, an erotic kindle book, a poem, a song, a religion, or a new political world order, it can all be reduced to a minimum of first principles.

However you want to see it is your choice. I mean, it can be that. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful...I just don't truly understand how to simplify quantum physics. To scale the web to put it in perspective... there are gates. Things get really weird after the first set of gates. The mind blown feeling is more like multiples of heaven rather than a single episode of ecstasy. It's like Morpheus giving Neo a handful of red pills instead of just one and done.

Yes. Those who've played The Witcher know best of all that even ideal choices can become monstrous regrets. Choices have consequences and lead us to where we are today. For example, you brought yourself here. To this point in time, with your current level of knowledge. I think you've done well by your choices, even if you don't yet agree with your past choices...they have lead you here. You needed to be here and you found a way to get yourself to exactly where you wanted to be. Also, you have an entire half a lifetime remaining to do whatever you want with it. You've also been doted on by one of the most influential figures of time. For f*cks sake, I would say you came out on top.
You're timeless.

I'm also very busy all the time trying to do dozens of things at once, and the more things I can unite into a single concept so I can do everything with a single command, the better.

A spider web made of crossroads works for me. But it's ALSO a system of prisms turning pure emanations into rainbows for no particular reason.
The doors and gates are also mouths, but also eyes receiving light.

There are two ways to see it. There's the standard cardinal direction temple model with the magician at the center, but the other vision is a spider at the center of the web, silent, waiting for the word.
The choice is whether the game is more like an endless pilgrimage to the center, or more like claiming your throne.
