Who are you today? Flesh, meme, shitter, thinker, fucker, producer, consumer, owner, loser, transmitter, receptor? What are your limitations - are they personal, physical, or social impositions? How much manoeuverability do you have within your domain? And how do you define its parameters?
If you are reading this you are probably on the other side of a monitor and have, like me, all the aspirations of a god but are equipped with a terminal flaw. You eat crap and disgorge it and even have a criteria that has determined a whole hierarchy of crap. Some of this crap may change your behaviour and also, with time, geneaology. Some of it elevates your senses to a state of bliss and some of it turns you genocidal.
You desire freedom yet need to belong. You desire independence, but crave recognition. You are a spider caught in your own web. The more you weave the larger your landscape of possibilities; the more enmeshed you become in your extensions. Each transaction through this interface adds a tint to your Portrait. It gets recorded and splintered on thousands of computers around the world. Fractures of this Portrait glide into other minds through an electronic osmosis, are ingested out of context, then regurgitated into yours. Everything you say shall be taken down and the evidence returned and used to nourish you.
