I was on that medium thing, many art sites, countless forums and social media.
This here ‘space’ feels a little introverted, although I am by no terms an ‘extrovert’
Just a regular trouble maker.
And by trouble, I mean ‘disarming’ my colonial past and unschooling my brain, and hopefully a few other minds stuck in the ‘future brain’, or the brain that keeps saying
‘should’.
What I have noticed is that when the individual is ‘promised’ by title
the ‘special effects’ of titles, then their behaviour often travels into aloof land.
I was there too, in ‘aloof land’ and looked down on those who had little talent for anything, the bureaucracy is littered with no hands available.
“Can I use your hands?”
In aloof land, I build a machine that does my assistants work and saves the cost of labour, teaching, frayed patience, huge costs and stress.
The inventors mind is to reduce mans burdens of trivial labour.
This is NOT a good thing, so I got off this horse and am pleased to show others a new simple machine.
Since this disease, (Covid not invention) where if it were not a disease, there would be no concern, I am one of a few, that knew the benefits of staying home.
In all summary, it has for me been a beautiful 2 years, I also by reference lived through two large depressions in other countries, the effect is contraction, and in contraction society shrinks together in closeness by needs, then it is with closeness, I get noticed.
Noticed online, largely is developing, I find I am unwilling to have my soul captured inside the camera, so to speak, of course I will point it at others as my patriarchal right, yet it is all so new in my lifetime, to be on TV, so, I have reluctance to take it seriously, so much so, I propose we zoom talk while physical distances and a plastic panel is between us, there at least, I can ask the person behind the clear plexi plastic screen, if they are real, or someone behind a window, if they are real also.
Social distancing, how such a gaff ever happened? I do have an idea though, the word ‘physical’ is difficult to say and spell, where as social sounds kind a cool, like we are all so social, that just a little less social is ok, then put it as mandate, it sounds like a divorce is required.
My children were not amused I could jump the distance to land on the next marked spot in the line…oh they complained!
I don’t know who I am, so you will just have to ask.
