Two Steps Ahead (Current)
Two steps ahead. I am always two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life. It's alluring, it's compelling, it's gripping to observe all these unwell, disoriented beings roam the internet in search of stories, ideas, rivalries, where they feel encouraged and engaged, where they involve themselves with the stories and become a product of influence. Thirsty for distraction from time unspent, spoiling their minds yet stimulating them at the same time. It's brilliant, and it's dangerous. I feel as if I'm monitoring ants on an ant farm. One follows another, follows another, follows another, follows another. It's mesmerizing. It's spellbinding. All these little consumers, all of these lost – and bored – people. People consuming anything that they're told to consume. So, I am the villain because I've made myself one. And you will continue to consume these stories about me, year after year after year, for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain. Stories that permeate and linger and infect the minds of the ants. Influence the ants, brainwash the ants, you are the ants. Today I woke up from a very long dream, and I also woke up having lost 250 pounds off of my body. Yet just yesterday, people were calling me fat, and sick, and boring, and irrelevant. People. People the most messed up creatures on the entire planet, and yet I've still managed to stay two steps ahead. Of everyone. The joke's on you. Two steps ahead. I am always two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life. It’s alluring, it’s compelling, it’s gripping, to observe all these unwell, disoriented beings roam the internet in search of stories, ideas, rivalries where they feel... encouraged and engaged, where they involve themselves with the stories, and become a product of influence. Thirsty for distraction from time unspent, spoiling their minds, yet stimulating them at the same time. It’s brilliant. And it’s dangerous. I feel as if I’m monitoring ants, on an ant farm. One, follows another, follows another, follows another... It’s mesmerizing. It’s spellbinding, all these little consumers, all of these lost. And bored. People. People consuming anything that they’re told to consume. So I am the villain. Because I’ve made myself one, and you will continue to consume these stories about me, year, after year, after year. For as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain. Stories that permeate and linger, and infect the minds of the ants, influence the ants, brainwash the ants. You... are the ants.
Today I woke up from a... very long dream, and I also woke up... having lost two-hundred and fifty pounds off of my body. Yet just yesterday, people were calling me fat, and sick... and boring... and irrelevant. People... People are the most messed up creatures on the entire planet, and yet I’ve still managed to stay... two steps ahead... of everyone. The joke’s on you.Two Steps Ahead (2 years ago)
Two steps ahead, I am always two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment I've come to know, certainly the greatest of my entire life. It's alluring, It's compelling. It's gripping to bear witness to observe all these unwell, unbalanced, disoriented beings roam the internet in search of stories. In search of...ideas. Of conflict, of rivalries. Where people develop a distinctive desire for direct engagement where people feel involved with the stories and therefore become product of influence. Thirsty for distraction, from time spent from lackluster lifestyles spoiling their minds while stimulating at the exact same time. It's brilliant, but it's also dangerous. It's dangerous. I feel as if my life has been positioning to where I'm monitoring ants, on a ant farm. One follows another... follows another... follows another. It's, it's mesmerizing, it's enthralling, it's spellbinding. just look at all these consumers, all of these lost and bored people, consuming anything that they're told to consume. I am the villain. I make myself one, and people will consume these stories year after year after year. Stories that, the stories that shock, that confuse, stories that are deliberately made to blur the boundaries between fact and fiction. Stories that permeate, infect, and linger. In the minds of the ants. Influence the ants, brainwash the ants. You, are the ant. I woke this morning to money deposited into my account for simply not doing something. For simply going through with something. People are the most fucked up creatures on this planet. And you will continue to consume and I'll continue to be two steps ahead. Today, I thought it would be a splendid idea to go out and get some food. Gee, are you surprised? Have you forgotten the story? Are you not paying attention? After all you're here to consume, are you not?
