What defines consciousness? Do you think other animals can be considered conscious creatures?
I hope not cause that would mean [there exists] like a furry version of Common.
In your opinion does this photograph of a pumpkin:
- Reflect a profound reality (A picture of pumpkin is like the real thing)
- Mask and denature a profound reality (A picture of the pumpkin is like a shitty version of the real thing.)
- Mask the absence of a profound reality (the pumpkin was a lie.)
- Lose all connection to reality, becoming pure simulation (Pumpkins, as a natural phenomenon, are a lie and this picture I just handed you is just a napkin that I peed on.)
- All of the Above

1 A picture of a pumpkin is as good as the real thing if you don’t like to eat pumpkins cause all you really do is think about the pumpkin whether it’s a picture or the gourd right in front of you. The only real difference is taste.
Like Sartre, do you consider contemplation a luxury?
Yes, cause that means im balling tf out.
Are trends accelerating faster than ever?
Accelerationism is a trend that’s taking a while to die out so uh, Not All Trends are accelerated you feel me?
How do you make earnest connection in a world of instant gratification?
I feel like I just play the instant gratification game to the natural max. It feels like a part of me that I connect with as much as anything else. In an environment of a million things trying to be bait for your immediate attention, I tend to just Ride The Wave and idk I end up drowning in it but it’s turnt and I definitely feel connected.
Riff Raff is a tangible example of increased absurdity (aka entropy) in the universe, can you name other examples?
