fortified zones are interesting in that while they protect one area at great cost, they in another sense also concede the area outside the walls
@bugs if you walk far enough down to where both ends of the joy-despair axes meet, and whisper "my desires, although beautiful, are also a product of a civilization that must be destroyed" to your reflection in the pond, you'll be transported to a place that's always moving and ephemeral, now lush and soon desert where no one project lasts forever and that's where you'll find me. Dancing in the ruins.
i think a lot about how this civilization manufactures our attitudes, desires, and lifestyles in order to better serve the needs of the death machine on its march toward the domestication and certain oblivion of every living thing.
it is a monster which is so ancient, so pervasive, but also familiar or even comforting. and its manifestations spring forth from our everyday routines and actions, as we were built by the machine for this purpose
