Gnomes, according to late medieval swiss occultist and doctor Paracelsus, are actually elemental spirits that inhabit and administer all solids. If something is solid, it's because of gnomes.

over and over and over it continues to be proven that we underestimate the immense power of artifice itself to enact “real” violence. not simply a means to an end or a masking but the operative force that acts and reacts, consumes and destroys, builds and falls.

the spectacle continues to replace the real because it is not just “better than real” or “preferable to real”, it is *more real* than the real. it’s not empty, it is too full, spilling over with content.

it is important to remember that reality is a principle, a schema, and a model. reality is now insofar as it conforms to the model. economic models, scientific models, political science, sociology: these are the undergirding matrices and constituent elements of the reality principle.

once you forget this, it’s over.

The best part of the rise of the new AI bubble is that it is resurrecting the timecube-level batshit internet conspiracy gurus back into the limelight:

People always did performance art, sure, but the fire was gone, there were no windmills worth roleplaying a tilt at. Now though, is this real? Fake? Ironic? You don't need to know! Weird internet is back baby.

Black concentric pyramids

one falls another erects itself more

prominently

Falling glass elides contact with

the matte surfaces

glinting with the twinkle that lives

in saw tooth waves

Time elapsed: Five eye-blinks

Confused, I fold and unfold just as

suddenly.

sidelong spiral gliding through and

past kin and likewise beings.

Didn't realize the velocity of my

path. kin and likewise beings crowd

behind me as my features compress

into a flattened caricature.

A dry crash.

Glinting like saw tooth waves, that

surface, now surfaces.

Eliding contact with black pyramid pistons.
