neurotic brain wants to go down every rabbit hole
analyzing shit that I did like five years ago
the more you think about it, the darker it seems
until one day it's like you're trapped in your own dream
yeah trust me I know, I've been there too hermana
but like Wei Boyang said: "hakuna matata"
you do not even know enough to worry
the cosmos knows better, almost assuredly
no need to figure it all out yet
no need to determine whether you're good or bad
no need to decide if she's one of your soulmates
no need to know yet why you feel so strange
just be with it; experience and kiss the ambiguity
view self with humor, gentleness, equanimity,
tenderness, compassion, chill, you're only human
might not hurt to go get totally zooted
with friends, hah, only if you're into that
me I been known to go through a few beers and spinach wraps
been known to just go live in a cabin
been known to reside at the borders of the real, Atlantis
been known to feel gross after my fourth BK sandwich
been known to listen to more rap than Chance the Rapper
been known to have people watch me unfold on the Internet
been known to wander Vang Vieng alone on some intoxicants
and yeah one time ended up at a hospital in Bangkok
and yeah it might be true that I used to slang pot
but you know I do me like autoerotica
not immune to a goddess, body exotica
just a dumb shiny Australopithecus
probably write an opus, then transform into ventriloquist
to lend voice to the silly ghost called LOSTBOYEVSKY
he's your childhood imaginary friend on hemp leaves
he's a possibilian Taoist scientist, simultaneous
nature worshipper, Discordian saint, atheist
ordained Dudeist priest, nihilist, Zen Buddhist
idealist, pragmatist, whatever works, use it
post-rationalist, mystic, agnostic,
existentialist
Dadaist, moral relativist, wizard, effective altruist
occasional Luddite, techno-utopian empiricist
post-hippie, romantic, skeptic, quasi-pacifist
pseudo-capitalist who thinks we should meet everyone's basic needs
minimalist who tends not to give in to human greed
but nonetheless indulges some shit because YOLO
might go to a Jonwayne concert or pay for some dope pho
might fork over 1000 U.S. dollars for a MacBook
and you know I can't help it man, I always buy books
and horde them until I've got fucking shelves full
can't bring myself to part with Infinite Jest or On the Road
but apart from that man, I really don't own much
known to fit whole life in a backpack and go touch
a new continent, casually, erratically
world as playground, Earth as Wonka's factory
pregnant with wonders, shoutout Darwin Deez
also shoutout Darwin that one chimpanzee
on that one old cartoon, you know, Wild Thornberrys
and yeah bro you already know that I mourned Harry
Potter, when I thought he was dead
born in Iowa -- heartland, man, obviously fed
but still aware of the millions who aren't eating enough
global Universal Basic Income, anyone? anyone?
let's eliminate poverty and get robots to do the lame tasks
so we can just do whatever and create and like straight bask
in the light of that star that we used to call God
I can see why we did that, the sun is like so bomb
immaculate, like Christ smooching Schopenhauer
literally this instant I'm trying to send hope and power
via sound waves and the World Wide Web
to humans thousands of miles away who feel cursed by their heads
or circumstances. man, there's still beauty everywhere
tap into that shit, get uplifted, and flare
up like inferno, become self-propelled wheel
affirm life, amor fati, create art and heal
open eyes so wide, see majesty, find endurance
live so damn well you'd embrace eternal recurrence
accept that some day human self might perish from heart attack
let the problems in your mind become ancient artifacts
and to those without basic necessities I'm trying to get you some
but i don't quite know how, the systems are rough
they work pretty well for a lot of the globe
but there are still tens of millions without food or homes
approximately 20 million people per year die from poverty
man we need to get everyone past that first level of maslow's hierarchy
this is probably a good place to mention GiveWell.org
through effective altruism, we can make a world where no one starves
that should probably be one of our primary aims
well, that and making sure our evolutionary branch is sustained
