"A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke"

-Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or

There has to be some sort of context that makes this slightly less silly.

Poor Kierkegaard didn't know how his words would be cut up and pasted next to all types of idols of spiritlessness.

>So I did it and...there was a something, like a flower, like a chrysanthemum in orange and yellow that was sort of spinning, spinning, and then it was like I was pushed from behind and I fell through the chrysanthemum into another place that didn't seem like a state of mind, it seemed like another place. And what was going on in this place aside from the tastefully soffited indirect lighting, and the crawling geometric hallucinations along the domed walls, what was happening was that there were a lot of beings in there, what I call self-transforming machine elves. Sort of like jeweled basketballs all dribbling their way toward me. And if they'd had faces they would have been grinning, but they didn't have faces. And they assured me that they loved me and they told me not to be amazed; not to give way to astonishment.

Maybe the theatre should have sent out a staff member and not a fucking clown to inform the crowd of a very serious thing going on.

Or, just maybe, the theatre can install a fire alarm.

You guys realize he could be right. I mean I know he's lost his mind but you can tell how he strung these thoughts together. I thought about this being a possibility when reading about transhumanism.

That image is jarring. I've done DMT and I have a similar drawing style which did not really develop until after I had taken it. Though I don't recall any elves.
