the blue
the ocean
the deepness of blue
how huge it really is
the sun reflects off the moving surface
fractal patterns constantly being generated
it is so big
so vast
how can you describe something so monolithic
80% of the world - this giver of life
this earth is so strange
now we enjoy using fake belief
our technology has enabled us to use this greatness as a bridge
we are so lucky
but we can never truly appreciate the naturalness of this
such an impressive sight
I wish I could live in the ocean
I'm happy that I don't
otherwise so could never appreciate it how I am now
one day this greatness will cover that which we knew and ever once was
this is the true ruler of the world
we can never know the ocean
I'm glad though we have the intelligence to create these chances
these glimmers
but we can never connect like nature can
there is something drawing us to this ocean
unfortunately we can never know
the blue
such a beautiful sight

They’re having a hard time picking much. And maybe you are, too. P...

Like Dominoes – Why Crypto Exchanges are Failing

At the close of 2022, Bitcoin wasn’t just down—it was so down that its precipitous fall was breaking records. One report from Bank of America suggested that the collapse in value was the fifth-worst for any asset in financial history. Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...

Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.” In Sig...
