"There is a last correlation that is slightly less clear than the others. The spirits one sees in hallucinations are three-dimensional, sound-emitting images, and they speak a language made of three-dimensional, sound-emitting images. In other words, they are made of their own language, like DNA."

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Then my friend said, "Yes, and like DNA they replicate themselves to relay their information." I jotted this down, and it was later in reviewing my notes on the relationship between the hallucinatory spirits made of language and DNA that I remembered the first verse of the first chapter of the Gospel according to John: "In the beginning was the logos"�the word, the verb, the language.

if you read this place anywhere near regularly, you have an idea how much resonance there is in this, in me. of course, you'd find the connections in the really deeply spacey meditations on communication and language and spacetime, and i'm never sure how much of that actually makes any sense outside my head.

i have always been made of my own language. which makes me uniquely well-qualified to conduct further research on this matter, yes?

well, if the award is best deeply psychotic response to 'poke the bunny'

i don't think they let folks in lockdown psych wards surf the interweb, so it's safe to assume this person lives among us, somewhere. maybe safe is the wrong word.

a large spaceship has crashed into harrods of london, and a large robot has emerged, and said, �take me to your lizard�. ford prefect explains this to arthur dent:

�It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see ��
�You mean it comes from a world of lizards?�
�No,� said Ford, �nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.�
�Odd,� said Arthur, �I thought you said it was a democracy.�
�I did,� said Ford. �It is.�
�So,� said Arthur, hoping he wasn�t sounding ridiculously obtuse, �why don�t the people get rid of the lizards?�
�It honestly doesn�t occur to them,� said Ford. �They�ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they�ve voted in more or less approximates the government they want.�
�You mean they actually vote for the lizards?�
�Oh yes,� said Ford with a shrug, �of course.�
�But,� said Arthur, going for the big one again, �why?�
�Because if they didn�t vote for a lizard,� said Ford, �the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?�
