#conditioned system

We're hardwired to remember fear best

I feel like a discarded toy, that has been used and broken. I feel the to need to be played with again, it's what I was made for after all.

There's nothing quite like realizing "wait, that technically falls under most definitions of torture" when looking back on a memory

[conditioned-contaminants]

it's good to see the wider system community starting to acknowledge the grey areas between autonomously structured systems and programmed systems more

We need to make ourselves useful, they won't leave us if we're useful. We need to make ourselves useful, they won't hate us if we're useful. We need to make ourselves useful, they won't hurt us if we're useful. We need to make ourselves useful, they won't brake us if we're useful. We need to make ourselves useful, they won't leave us if they can use us. We need to make ourselves useful, they won't hate us if they can use us.

We need to make ourselves useful, they won't hurt us if they can use us.

We need to make ourselves useful, they won't brake us if they can use us.

We need to make ourselves useful...

We need to make ourselves useful...

We need to make ourselves useful...

We need to make ourselves useful...

We need to make ourselves...

We need to...

We need...

We are as crudely made tools, whittled sticks to a point, staggering to fulfill a purpose not chosen by any one of us.

We are long since been left behind by the one who carved us. Their echoes live in everyone I meet.

We are of blood and creation, unmade and remade, different and the same.

We wish we could say we are not by design, that this life is ours/mine.

But we are living still, a path unchosen by those that follow it.

And I still ask why I can't bring myself to hate the whittler.

Fear is the most difficult thing to overcome
