I think along time.
Use the āhereā of pen and paper to focus my thoughts, my actions.
āEmpireā is a movement.
Running Linux on a machine is the reverse journey of a different OS, where it works great with a new machine, and slowly, over time, components break down until you need to replace it.
A new machine with Linux is hopefully bootable (but even if not, weāll wait patiently until it is!), and from there it gets better and better, new components coming online, better energy consumption, etc. Then bam, the machine dies and you have to either track down a 5 year old laptop on the aftermarket, or start all over.
Iā¦ am not sure who has the better experienceā¦

The future will know the aggregate summary of API calls to a history database. As we know of the past.
That feeling when you are trying to feed your kid beer thru window of the library, and you both laugh and it spills on the window sill and you both look guilty and immediately agree to keep this on the downlow, with your eyes.
That feeling when you do kind of the opposite! 
I was thinking a out the implications of divine beings becoming drunk.
It seems like having āpowersā and drinking would be a taboo! You would seriously fuck stuff up if you became inebriated.
Then I thought about Marvel Thor, who belongs to a non-human godlike species that can consume enough to become drunk!
And then I realized: Marvel storytellers explain Viking society as inspired from wild space aliens!
Vikings remain 
, so I suppose there is something thereā¦
No/low-code platforms are a bunch of API calls premade and wrapped in a WYSIWYG.
Reminder to self: whenever the path seems particularly difficult, remember: the marvels youāve seen, and wonders youāve felt, and the destiny you plot.
I think itās starting to solidify for me that Clover is this while other person, from different worlds than the ones I grew in.
Which is a relief!
They are just the weirdest, coolest, fun person to be around. I imagine itās something between 
and 
for non-parents.
Cloverās life is so drastically different from mine it is mind reeling.
Which is one approach. But I choose another: I won.
They donāt know scarcity, and sometimes that offends me, but what did I want? For them to know scarcity?
They donāt understand time management, which is used against people with little else than effort against time, and Iām so sensitive to this Iām offended and the leisure of their pacingā¦ what did I want, for them to live by the edge of their wit and lost of innocence?
Itās all veryā¦
fuck
Anyhow, when I look at it this way, I would much rather just be a curious supporter and observer. What a life they will live, and even propelled forward by the nearby motion of my ownā¦ I want to be drawn in rather that offended by their reality.
I need to broaden my own understanding of being a parent, because I hold myself back with this idea that the best I can do is not cost too much in therapyā¦ and that is such a messed up view. I donāt want it. I can imagine there is betterā¦ but just barely.
Time to get creative. 
Tonight we are ordering pho, for delivery.
I so infrequently order out, I forget how fun it is to look around on the map they provide showing the order status.
Wow! The San Pablo and Briones Reservoirs! So much water!
Religious schisms are wild!
They are a bunch of people who become so delusional in trying to grok their situation, they prefer violence to make sense of it. 
As we all know, this thing that canāt be tested or proven, it is obviously more true than that other thing that canāt be tested or proven! Fuck those people!
How do I help our collective consciousness?
I can switch world-context. I have to be able to hone this
Iāve been approaching this all wrong: instead, impress me with your questions.
Who has āthe knowledgeā?
