we have extrapolated past the point… we have talked and talked and talked like only the utmost privileged may in a tea parlor, even heated discussion at times, and we have not paid attention - the space around us has emptied, those who could not spend their days theorizing have long since been taken away. The parlor chairs are being removed and thrown to a fire, the lights are being dimmed, we are being dragged out by our feet as we cling to our last hot takes and overcorrections and recalibrations and definitions. And the illusion and greed and conditions for love have come to kill us all.
