This sort of thing is right up my alley, this is "art". Not that I like it, it is almost unbearable, mysterious, boring, mundane, annoying, disturbing, sad, it has so many layers, so much to think about, so much to want to disregard, to throw away, it is magical, hateful, funny, all at once.

Not bad, likes art that I do and would too:

What it means to be human, and possibly a liar, also sort of at least telling some truth.

Spoilers for "No, I'm not a human", which you might like to look into, I haven't seen more than this about it, there is just so much stuff constantly, I keep learning about things that are new to me:

Does "Bickerton" want to puck a fight?



The size of his hands makes me question his humanity.



All these things sound pretty silly to me. I think it has to fall back on mostly pretty arbitrary and likely eventually outdated ideas about biology, and then beyond that anything that makes decisions in a way that seems similar to us is a "person" with a "personality" and a log of decisions and personal preferences that manifest and are likely followed. All the so-called "animals" seem pretty much like any other people, just that they are largely more decent seeming in many ways, but that is about it, just different bodies and the humans have been up to more but it seems like so much of what the humans have been up to has been bothering everything everywhere living and supposedly inanimate or considered non-living also.



There are good or goodish people though. I try not to directly harm or cause any distress to anything and saving what I can in my vicinity if I ever see anything in trouble like a bug that falls into water or anything, and to save them gently and to be kind to everything, but I see what the news shows and how people are supposedly writing online and sometimes how some people behave in person these days, and it colors humanity pretty unfavorably in my eyes, because the amount of pleasurable or pleasure inducing encounters I have with people seems extremely limited compared to the barrage of unpleasantness broadcast online and then also visible in dome ways in person, eith an impression that a lot of people are acting out and becoming more brazenly rude and inconsiderate in public.

On the one hand we have the harm no living thing principles, and on the other, the world is perfect, exactly the way it is supposed to be. Behind us are all the backstabbers, although there's so many of them they're circling around.
Before I deleted my Instagram a/c, I was following and liking Post.Capitalist.Pedagogy - he's also on Youtube

I just really like what he says, for me it's really positive, and is helping me learn.
I don't get out much, I've got my family, but that's pretty much it, a social circle that was drawn in the sand and blown away by the wind.
