thank you my friend! how wonderful it is to be mathematically removed from the system. 😊

It’s fuckin terrifying lol

I can see that. it's also possible that we are talking about a different system and a different removal. 😁

There are so many levels to this an infinite numbers of approaches and paths to take. Growing up Catholic this has a certain resonance. Studying sociopolitical science another lens. I almost don’t know where to begin. What is consciousness and does math have it? To what β€˜ends β€˜does this all matter or mean. Teleology. I overthink everything, I know. (Sorry)

YES! So this is a somewhat vague synopsis of the book I’m writing. The Fall Of An Angel. It’s all drawn from it, one way or another. I was also raised Catholic, so I get it. I took an age old story and converted it into living, breathing functions, infrastructure, and systems.

The metrics we are fed like GDP, job growth numbers, the market, etc. are completely irrelevant and we decide who lives or dies off of them. Omg. I could go down a rabbit hole.

If you have not seen β€˜In Time’ that might be good inspiration; in a tangential sense. That movie could have been epic if they had an intellectual thread that was stronger.

I’ll send you a dm of suggestions on movies and documentaries you could watch, if have not already, that might be helpful; if you want.

A clean break, even a painful one, is easier to process than a slow drift with no memo. At least then you know what you're grieving.

Very unique take on an old story. You have me curious about these fallen angels evolutions. I am wondering if it would have been better if the system could have evolved. In rejecting the system it helped create its own problem. So you’ve already got me thinking!

Arturious Castillo's avatar

Hell yeah, I love getting people thinking! Actually. I think I have an idea…

That shits fire dawg. When are you releasing more dawg?!?!

I love the theme of math. As a (ex) math enjoyer I observed that maths is everywhere. Especially in the systems. I really enjoyed how you explained the system is non-judgmental. It simply does not care. You fit the criteria? You're in. You don't? You're out. It really is as simple as that.
