Via a difficult method you observe something strange.

For conversation's sake you call what you observed, "gob".

Overhearing the conversation, people, who never practiced the method (because it is difficult), discuss "gob".

In time the method is forgotten. But the discussion continues.

That baseless, insubstantial discussion.

The universe is just an emergent artifact of language.

Caterpillar : hanging from a branch and wrapping yourself in silk delivers a righteous buzz.

So what if you could see "god"?

Maybe it takes a special technique. Maybe it's difficult. Like "first you need to build a particle accelerator" to see antielectrons.

And what is "worship" anyway?

Long term working pretty much any straight job is bad for your health. Software design will make you crazy. Working construction for any company means getting squeezed to work too hard. Best to avoid the whole exploitative toxic mess.

Best to live in the margins.

I work as an independent general contractor in a rural area. Fix and/or build toilets, floors, walls, lights, fences etc. A little bit of everything. It's surprisingly stable. Don't even have to advertise. No boss. Good pay. No bennies.

Worked in office and construction. Prefer construction.

Godzilla is nuclear powered. Fusion in special cells.

Kong is powered by plot magic.

If social media has taught me anything it's that you should never look to society for truth or sanity.

What do you call experimentation without concern for data?

Which would imply that talking about it is more important than understanding it.
