Thanks to the machinery of the virtual, all your problems are over! You are no longer either subject or object, no longer either free or alienated — and no longer either one or the other: you are the same, and enraptured by the commutations of that sameness. We have left the hell of other people for the ecstasy of the same, the purgatory of otherness for the artificial paradises of identity.

Autism and Sameness

The Autistic Teacher

Season one Sam would HATE later seasons Sam.

Not season 4-5 Sam, he hates him for a different reason

But post season 5

I’m not even talking about before Jess died, I’m talking all of season one Sam.

He’d feel like his life was stolen

He would HATE how complacent he becomes

I don’t even think hunting would be the thing he hates the most, he would understand how it happened but he’d be mad at himself for letting it happen. And he’d own attitude. In general and towards hunting, like how he pretends to be happy or js fine with it. When he spent all of season one hating it but staying for Dean and John, and always planning to go back to school. He hate himself for only having like three friends and living in an underground bunker dedicated to the supernatural.

He’d be happy he’s still with Dean, even happier that he’s best friends with an angel.

But he wouldn’t be able to get over how he spent his spent his life fighting John and hunting js to end up here

Christ's Unchanging Nature

Notes: That God can be trusted and counted on is a comfort to His people. Knowing He is “the same yesterday and today and forever” reminds us that God was reliable in the past, we can trust Him today, and we can hold fast to the hope that is tomorrow. God has always existed, and He wants us to be part of His kingdom.

A sad story told entirely in tweets

A sense of sameness pervades the creative world

The dominant themes feel static and repetitive, not dynamic and impactful

Imitation of the conventional is rewarded

Movies, music, and other creative pursuits are increasingly evaluated on financial and corporate metrics, with all other considerations having little influence

Alternative voices exist—in fact, they are everywhere—but are rarely heard, and their cultural impact is negligible

Every year the same stories are retold, and this sameness is considered a plus

Creative work is increasingly embedded in genres that feel rigid, not flexible

Even avant-garde work often feels like a rehash of 50-60 years ago

1. Every screen shows the same movie.

2. Alt Weeklies disappear in every city—along with everything else that’s alternative or outside the norm.

3. The most popular song doesn’t change for three years in a row.

4. The banal word ‘content’ is used to describe every type of creative work, implying that artistry is generic and interchangeable.

5. There are lots of journalists, but they all seem to be working for the same corporations.

6. The dominant company in the creative culture views everything as a brand extension.

7. Indie music and alt music are marginalized.

8. Telling jokes becomes a dangerous profession.

9. The experts who ‘explain’ the culture to us all seem to be insiders with identical backgrounds.

10. This year’s movies look a lot like last year’s movies.

11. Even elite awards for creativity are dominated by reboots and remakes.

12. Five companies have almost complete control over the book business—where, in an earlier day, dozens of indie publishers thrived.

13. Everybody is encouraged to watch the same TV shows and movies—with niche options gradually removed from the dominant platforms.

14.  All those nasty, rebellious songs that defy authorities are now owned by hedge funds.
