Assembly of Silence

Continuing along similar lines to last episode…

There's just no way for me to not see things the way I see them.

That’s not because I’ve always had the same perspective. Quite the contrary. My POV has changed radically so many times, I have no idea how I would see things if I still saw them the way I once did.

Seeing a terrible future is very motivating. But when one can see no reasonable course of action we are left to contemplate unreasonable options (this is perhaps the only fortunate dimension to the fact that the world does not operate on reasonableness).

One unreasonable option is to try to fend off dark visions by articulating them as if they were going to happen. This leverages the indisputable fact that most predictions are laughably wrong.

You may criticize this as mere superstition but I don't care. If I turn out to be wrong I'll know I was right.

I don't see anything on the horizon that might change my present POV. I'm looking for it and will let you know if I find something.
