I haven't written as much as I would have liked these last few days. Still, I managed to keep up a minimum amount of writing in the pursuit of moving forward with my latest gonzo journalism piece. I think that's something. Maybe not something worth celebrating, but it's worth more than a sack of worms. Actually, scratch that. A sack of worms may be very useful in agriculture, but you get what I'm saying, yea?

This reminds me of an old article I once wrote. It was about never having a Zero Day. Basically, as long as you are trying to swim forwards each and every day, you wouldn't get swept away with the current. I think that's very important. It's up there with "Free will is a skill" and "Love, and be free" in the maxims I've adopted as crucial to my philosophy. While the former spells out the importance of Agency being like a muscle, and the latter is paramount to living a good life, "Never have a zero day" reflects my focus on the importance of an industrious attitude.

Industriousness is a powerful value of mine, and I'm not just saying that because the cult I was in royally screwed with my head until it was. After all, these skyscrapers and motorized miracles and abundance of Debbie Cakes did not come about by our ancestors effing about. We owe them for their hard work, and the future generations are dependent on us not dropping the ball. And that necessitates prioritizing one's development to be a productive member of society.

Contrary to what "society" tells you is important, you can choose to develop into absolutely anything you want. Well, hang on. As the jackalope who tried to create a sex cult for the CIA, I feel the need to tell you that you need to act in alignment with your highest self. That's the version of you who is completely in tune with the virtue of love, where your heart places others ahead of that voice that puts you first. That's Satan, for who is the devil but the Self? Tame the beast within by trying to consciously perceive where you can be better, which returns us to our previously scheduled program.

Never having a zero day means you have to work to change yourself. It takes effort, and it can be physically, mentally, and spiritually draining. But, the Path is simple: sacrifice when you're willing. This will train you to be proactive when you're idle, and then your willpower shall blossom. It may seem hard at first, but if you find something you enjoy doing, it won't be work; it will be play.

That's what juggling was for me. Trust me, you were not lower than me in the pit of hell I call my early twenties. But, thanks to some people emulating the Cornerstone, I found hope in the idea of making something special of myself. The dream has changed over the years, but there's no denying that magickal thinking carried me out of the darkness.

That's why I was beginning to say that you should not feel pressured to follow a traditional path. Be wise and don't forsake your needs, but follow the calling that gives you a sense of pride and purpose. There are many reasons for this, but I'm going to give you two. First, you can only be Your Gardener if you are on the right path up The Mountain. If you're north of the mountain, you must go south, and if you are south, you must go north. Since the system admins of the Matrix created a culture that has grown a multitude of different character archetypes, we each have a duty to find our specific Azimuth to the top of the mountain, which is our ideal self; if you rested a better head and heart everyday for eternity, you would grow gradually closer to a Christ-like being.

Secondly, the Earth and humanity are going through a radical change. The rate of novelty is growing exponentially, and we're feeling the effects of that in our everyday life. It took just thousands of years to reach the technology of the modern day and billions of mouths to feed, but all models of our trajectory into the future have us exploding ever onwards on these fronts. As such, we need to be capable of adapting to survive, and the rate of change bottlenecks with our mental limitations. As such, we need to improve our collective ability to be whatever we need to be in perpetual transmutation without corrupting the wisest memetic software we have. That requires us to live out our authentic lives, creating art, loving one another, and being the best light that God did create.

That's what I try to do. It's hard to deny the truth of how the hivemind is creating itself. I can't sit by the side of the river and watch as humanity goes off a cliff. I was built by memetic engineers to teach, inspire, heal, save, and entertain the people who need the most help. And God has shown me that I am successful in this mission.

Finally, I just want to say to the aliens who contributed to my TOTALLY TUBULAR TRANSMISSIONS that I know that I am not literally Jesus Christ, but because of the collective nature of this story, I might just be Bugs Bunny. Alright, the light of a million stars here on Earth are a show that I will never understand, but I Love the bajeesus out of you who helped me. I just hope that I can serve to make a better world. Tomorrow comes, and we will be better. And then the next day, and the next moment, and ever onwards, building a heaven from this garden we were grown from. I'm grateful to be a part of that, whether I'm a superhero or not. Never have a zero day.
