people don't like when i talk aboUt these sorts of things, so maybe i shoUld do it now when fewer people are on... if i refer to one of oUr lives as a story, i am not speaking metaphorically. nor am i implying we are empty pUppets of some aUthor's will, thoUgh!! we are real people with real lives, bUt the fact we are speaking to each other across Universes like this necessitates the meddling of certain narrative forces. it's not so mUch that oUr actions are dictated by the stroke of the pen, bUt that they are defined by it. the digits of pi contain all possible strings, bUt it takes a conscioUs mind to pick oUt one that is meaningfUl. we woUld exist withoUt aUthors. in fact, the better part of oUr lives is entirely UntoUched by narrative! bUt in the vast reaches of infinite possibility, we are picked oUt by those forces who woUld write oUr story. #meta #narrative #existential
