today, i shall be mostly an expression of my best understanding of the world
aka 'fucking weird'
and yes
weird world, ain't it?
anyway, what i meant to say was that everything i do on this account is an expression of my current best understanding of the world, of how we can maybe do a little better, or perhaps pivot to doing much better
for ourselves & together
i believe we are called to express something real, something deep, something true
and the more we do this, the more light will be shone, and the more the real, the deep & the true will be expressed & revealed
that it builds & it grows
and so it's important to do
and not allow it to be suppressed
and maybe this is the noblest pursuit
or we could just toss around the word 'art', and be done with all the above
but then we need to express something real, something deep and something true about what art is, too
else that becomes unreal & superficial, too
it needs to be continually shone & expressed
so, art 👆
to put it another way, perhaps:
art is that which continually asks itself the question... "what am i?"
"what i am" is a trap
"what am i?" is freedom
here, i will pursue that question

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
however, i shall continue with learning basic linux & doing 'home projects' on a raspberry pi, and doing what look like very weird things with regards to this unfolding way thing
this is because you have to accept that to unfold the future, you must start right where you are at
i wish i started right where i was 25 yrs ago, and was v. close to doing so & achieving financial independence at the start of the internet age
i'd no idea how personally transformational that could have been
those lessons & convictions are inherent to how i choose to live now
this is my problem with identity
identity feels too much like a done
it's taken as an unchanging thing
that, to me, feels like a prison
and not a wide open field
not a brand new thing
to be held in wonder
we would normally acknowledge changes and growth in our identity through the association of new roles
but with the internet and the possibilities of what we can create, the reliance on roles to perform this function feels like an old world method of identity change
what's possible with our online environments is a much greater fluidity of identity, through experimentation and anonymisation
this seems a playful way to hold, alter and to destroy identity
