“…llega un momento en que la vanguardia no puede ir más allá, porque ya ha producido un metalenguaje que habla de sus imposibles textos. La respuesta postmoderna a lo moderno consiste en reconocer que puesto que el pasado no puede destruirse –su destrucción conduce al silencio- lo que hay que hacer es volver a visitarlo: con ironía, con ingenuidad.”

Umberto Eco, Apostillas a “El nombre de la rosa” .

Despite the break in routine, my favorite days are, selfishly, the ones we decide to let slip away while we’re together in bed. On these occasions, with the warmth of the sun on our faces and music in our ears, the bed is our sanctuary; the floor, the bathroom, the kitchen, the outside world are all reminders of a reality we don’t want to admit exists. So we stay in bed, our white-sheet island, as long as we can, as if our departure from it would mean we’d lose the magical feeling forever

But there is another, less frequently articulated reason why Silicon Valley wants to replace speech. One characteristic of verbal languages is that nobody can own them. Meanwhile, emoji characters are copyrighted, and software can be patented. The machinic capacity to measure emotions via the face or tone of voice is in the possession of businesses, and currently being rapidly capitalized by private-equity investment. Industrial capitalism privatized the means of production. Digital capitalism seeks to privatize the means of communication.

Don’t give people so much power over you that their silence leaves you questioning your worth.

When women used to be depressed or were not “taking care of their men” properly their husbands could send them to the psych ward for attitude adjustments. This was part of conditioning them to always wear a smile. They believed that if a woman saw herself smiling that it would become natural practice and that she would be “cured”. This often went along with shock therapies.

This gives a whole new level of creepiness to when random men tell you to smile.

Pay attention to whom your energy increases and decreases around, because that’s the universe giving you a hint of who you should embrace or stray from.
