Who Are You?

When logic is deniable, where reason is subjective, in a realm in which sense is a mere word, and understanding is blurred between history and mythology… Spike; a chosen reference in an unchosen existence, for curiosity to lead the way. It is a story of a little hum; barely a breath, a simple manipulation of molecules to induce purpose and the quest to find it. An adventure is born from divine interpretations.

Once, maybe more, in a “Once upon a time, here on planet Earth, inside Orion’s arm in the Milky Way galaxy, somewhere… It doesn’t matter! Enough entropy played us into this game of being alive, abiding arbitrary laws of physics to make a human question being. But that doesn’t matter! That planet holds hundreds of billions of carbon instruments competing for existence, each hard-coded by instinct to pave way for survival and future generations; an experiment of genes, that’s all they are! But it doesn’t matter… In that chaos, awareness took rise! Conscious upright walking clusters of dependent micromachines can now create, and they did! They terraformed the world around them, just to paraphrase their instincts. But that, does not matter. Society now regulates the jungle, with passive collective agreement on barely understood constructs by the ones who are locked to abide. Brains are malleable, or so they were before morphing them into vague static structures became a delusional mandation for the masses; those living the odysseys of 21st century statistics. They… They don’t matter! But they made technology, grew interwoven and started a massive crusade of cross-pollinating broken ideologies that further damaged every understanding which they were never able to comprehend… It will never fucking matter!”

For what is matter? What is your understanding of yourself? You the one made of matter… Your conquest to define identity, to forfeit individuality, pragmatically, to explore whatever is tying you to your perception of reality. It matters to whom? Who the fuck are you?

Who are you…
