Post-Halloween Frankenstein discussion
It's after Halloween and so naturally I bump into critically misreadings of Frankenstein by incredible sums of people who frankly should know better.
Frankenstein's monster isn't ugly, he's -uncanny-. He was built to be beautiful, powerful, and man's equal if not his superior. As an allegory, the book describes that the central scientific fear is the creation of subjects more capable than their superiors. Those subjects aren't -necessarily- artificial.

how do we even explain it's just
like we're tearing bits of our mind and our selves out and reconstructing it in an analogous form that will never perfectly match
and it's massaging and warping the things in ways we're not used to, but also very familiar with
this is what switching front is like!!
Therefore when Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost, there is justice.
When justice is lost, there is ritual.
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.
Knowledge of the future is only a flowery trapping of the Tao. It is the beginning of folly.
--Tao Te Ching, Chapter 38
introspective babbling
We lack connection to individuals and communities. We have forgotten how to communicate. We feel like we have only gathered an audience to watch our various spirallings. Because of how few others it seems to us there are in our life, we develop unhealthy relationships with those closest to us. There exists a divide—within us—between those pressed up against us by circumstance and those we would like to be closer to, especially those we are fundamentally similar to.

It's not that we feel lonely, really it isn't. Loneliness was just a blanket name for the various emotions we felt for a long time. Actual raw loneliness has been taken care of for a long time. There are beings around us, we live in a large city, we could freely interact with others, etc.
