>im lost but the wild ride will take me there someday hopefully

some start with the Greeks, some with the Chinese, Indians, or whoever. some (read: me) start with Doomsday Jacques Derrida, which is an absolutely terrible idea. do not do this. in the end i think the Wild Ride cruises to a gentle halt before a flickering neon sign that says this, and after that you can leave the abandoned, decaying theme park on the edge of town in which it is found, and which you were warned not to go to, and went to anyways, because you (again, obviously, read: me) were too fucking stupid and arrogant to know the difference, and wandered in there like a complete fucking idiot and got lost, for years. you emerge with whitened hair and mood disorders and many other Great (read: not great) Souvenirs. i don't know how it begins, but if this were the last thing you saw before you exited Kaleidoscopic Nightmare Space Mountain, i would hope that it looks like this, and that you are gifted a free copy of Yuga also on your way out the door.

it's hard to find a flaw in Thou Art That. a great amount of time is spent on the Wild Ride reading about the history of the 19-20C, but in the end a kind of gentle nondual coolness is for me at least the way. i like the Tao and i like Space Taoism also. there really can't be anything other than this for me. retracing Uncle Nick's steps down to the Inferno and beyond has been fun, but it really does lead to Burnout. it well and truly does.

but it's been good. it has well and truly Been Good. it has been Wild and it has been a Ride and the cruffitan liveth. it has all been very Good. accident or no. demented self-inflicted mindfuck conspiracy or no. it has been Good. and i'd do it all over again i think too. even though learning a trade would have made me a happier man.

so this anon. this is where i think it goes. when the Ride ends, this sign still remains, and flickers in the night. but wherever the Wild Ride takes you is where it was meant to take you. and i apologize for all these cringe Awesome Opinions, but unlike previous iterations of the glorious Cosmotech/Acceleration General, #14 will be the last one of whatever this awesome experiment has been. it will return later, but i feel a very strong need to say whatever it is i need to say about it in this one, and to leave no stones unturned, in spite of what Barthes says:

>Above all, do not attempt to be exhaustive.

i'm too fucking stupid to listen to wise people when they say things like this. and do not take any Souvenirs from the Wild Ride either. leave all that shit where it is. don't take it with you. that would be my advice, were i writing a Users' Guide.
