As a sidenote here, while discussing myths in terms of cultural/socialization utility (i.e. hey we have a myth to teach a lesson about how to behave) is sometimes an interesting lens, I find it *painfully* limiting when it's the only lens used. It's even worse when myths are framed as *only* existing for cultural utility.

The first time I came in I was vectored to Pad 43, which had a Dolphin already parked in it just happy as a clam. I had to exit and re-request docking.
A couple minutes later I saw an AI vessel furiously grinding itself against the Dolphin, hopelessly attempting to land.
:screams herself all the way into a little poststructuralist heap on the bed:
Goodnight for real y'all 💜
:screaming even louder and more foxily:
Where "truth" reside depends in large part on what lens you're using to slice a problem domain, and a thing can be simultaneously true in different locations on different slices! Lenses can be chosen based both on utility and aesthetic merit! And the use of lens is extremely contextual!
...why yes okay there is a reason I have "more than one thing can be true at a time" in my bio, right.
:continues screaming:
Cultural and metaphysical explanations of experience are non-exclusive!

I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
