Lol I made a friend on my way in to Korea and hugged him goodbye after I visited him in Busan and spent the day together. He definitely seemed like he didn't know how to respond. Figured it was something like this.
I'd do it again though, fuck I look like not being sincere.

There's a sort of irony to the weather being considered "small talk".
Though, sometimes weather is mentioned in a reflexive way, void of intention. That is the small talk culprit, which gets suspected upon any mention of its usual accomplice.
It's ironic In the way of beholding the essential insight of a mundane cliche that has passed through you a thousand times before.
In the way of the "mid-wit curve" detesting it...
I only grow increasingly aware of how strongly the atmosphere affects my energy, mood, and perception.
Not to mention the physicality of the realm it shapes...
Space is mind.
Weather is the mood soup we inevitably swim through, who does it irk to acknowledge?

Feel like so many people missed this show (probably why it got cancelled). I think about it every time I see people treating AI as all-knowing
While Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are dominating the discourse right now, I just want to take a moment to shout out Raised By Wolves again. The first two episodes are directed by Ridley Scott and the show deals with similar themes of creation, godhood, religion, and AI...

I felt this last night learning music theory--I could physically feel my brain lighting in different ways. It is so hard to sit in that space of learning something truly beyond your existing scope and not squirm away from it. I want to go fast but I have to go slow and stare in confusing half-understandings but I find a sort of sadistic pleasure in it haha and it is so satisfying to watch the gradual realization form.
The exhaustion you feel during early discipline is neuroplasticity in motion, because the brain burns significantly more energy building new pathways than maintaining old ones, and what feels like resistance is often just the cost of becoming mentally stronger.

It’s an energetic navigation. A motion beyond words. Logic helps orient direction and intention, but the change happens energetically. I see so many instances (in self and others) of being aware of the habit with total dissatisfaction, but unable to shift it.
The reason most people fail to change is not lack of willpower. It's that they try to think their way to a new state while still feeling the old emotions. You cannot think positively while your body is drenched in the chemistry of fear. You have to change the feeling first.
