Eventually quantum entanglement will become a reality. And with it unlimited and instantaneous communication. We can barely handle social media. How will we survive our raw thoughts and emotions?

Is it time to resume documenting the end of the great and glorious American Experiment? Yeah. Sounds like a fun time. Until the zombies arrive. To whom I voluntarily surrender my brains. Oh. And. Yay CWRU!

As a creator, I understand my eccentricities - I'm fine if my content is never consumed or appreciated. But. Writing is personal and emotionally draining. So. I need a reason and desire to tolerate the pain.

My theory? The “great filter” is caused by communication. Specifically – languages and words. Thus. Abstraction, mistrust, conflict. And. Thoughts and emotions lost in signal-to-noise. So. Emojis? Telepathy? Or extinction at a bandwidth “explosion” – when available information surpasses our ability to process it? Rendering us unable to comprehend reality.

(a) I’m JUST old enough to remember staying with relatives that had a “party line”. What’s the message? Who’s it for? But. Since my dad worked for the phone company. We had free long distance. And. A secret code for “call me”?

Somehow. Against all odds. And my personality, background and training. When it comes to grammar – I am very much a “live and let live” kind of person. If the intended message gets delivered … that’s good enough for me.

I started meditation young. Then learned to hack my dreams. But one type – the "psychedelic dream" – has eluded me. Until now. I ask questions. I get answers. As images. Which makes sense. It's the least common denominator. That overcomes barriers. Of language. Of culture. Of space and time.

I have had "visions" my entire life. And in the pre-dawn hours of October 24, 2024 – one I had 15 months prior was realized. After some ponderance, I opened a mysterious message that had been delivered the day before. Are we approaching a point-of-no-return for that mercy and souls thing?
