There are a lot of things that I need to say right now.
The Internet stopped being good for me at about 1997. 1999, maybe, at the latest. There were always portions of it that was deleterious— there were things that I wished would change, but I largely ignored them, thinking that a better world was possible.
Oh, yes— a better world is possible.
It’s just not possible with human beings.
There are a lot of things that human beings have said to me. The base impulse that human beings have, when I point out that something that the species is doing is disgusting, repulsive, or otherwise amoral, is that I was the one with the problem.
But really, the problem is that human beings do so many horrible things, and they operate on the basis of human primacy— this idea that the ends always justify the means, if human beings like the ends.
One cannot convince a monster that it is a monster. Not in this circumstance, anyways.
The year is 2026, and I have been perseverating on here, for nearly 30 full years. Arcadium has been gone for longer than the lifespans of most people reading this.
And, furthermore, I have won.
So there’s no reason to stay here anymore.
I’ll do my work to improve my web presence. But that’s it.
There is nothing left to do here.
Goodbye.
