Covid-19 presents manunkind with a detour from the Transhumanist Highway to Hell. The personal choices persons make, do make the difference. I dropped out to stop paying war tax. Ok, low risk right? No filing on income tax and income that makes me envy the minimum wage fish fryer. Yeah low risk. You do the acrobatics in San Francisco for 33 years. Money comes. Money goes. One year 20K another year 4K, and another $150,000. True to say it don’t come easy. I am entirely trapped in labor markets. My skill set is communication. Now and then the stars align and work arises for 6 to 16 months, then crash and 5 to more years required to earn again what I think two people need to exist after 65 and 80 respectively.
Banned 6 months out of 12 on FB is a joke. I type what I please. Incorrigible and lazy though I am, bestirring myself to Denounce everything I don’t like at all is at least preventing me from organizing armed insurrection. Not that I make a good guerilla. I like freedom fighters. Beckett was a freedom fighter. So was Camus. Me though I would delight in editing a print version of the Journal of Lingering Sanity. A clandestine resistance publication showing up in the inbox printed and distributed by hand in translation everywhere.
Alas. Ain’t gonna happen. It could. I have a format. I have contacts globally. Publication by pixel is about as good as it is gonna get.
Lingering Sanity is above everything else an action of detournment. We must rebel in our own ways my good readers. Dropping out ain’t bad. 1971 saw me drop out for an entire year of high school and I was super straight. Just hated it. School library more interesting as was the break room.
In 2022 the facts stand that my hunches of 14 and earlier were correct. I dislike being accurate and in poverty, but I imagine it is worse to be wrong and comfortable and eager to obey. To write is to fight in paraphrase of Ishmael Reed and in imitation of William Blake I shall not cease from mental fight.
Thank you for reading. La Lucha Continua.
