-epsilon is negative. epsilon has always been negative. no matter how you struggle, epsilon will stay negative.

-you must write +C at the end of every communication with the entity feeding upon your work. you change your last name to +C, vainly praying that this will appease their ferocious appetite. It does not. +C

-dy/dx is a fraction. dy/dx isn’t a fraction. you can never know when it is. you can never know when it isn’t. it is always there. laughing. it owns a cat. a black cat. she sleeps in a box. plotting.

-there are parts everywhere. dismembered functions lying prone on cold white pages. you are told to integrate by them. everything only gets worse. more parts appear. then more. and more.

“I like to sit alone and think about the world. I wanted to be a philosophy major, but there is no philosophy class at our universities. The only class offered is ‘Religion and Philosophy.’ We aren’t exactly encouraged to decide things for ourselves. Any philosophy we have must be built on the existence of God. So I switched my major to physics. It still allows me to think about the world. And if someone wants me to say that a thing is true, they need to prove it with a formula.“ (Tehran, Iran)

it’s easy to sit from your balcony of privilege & look down upon the masses, ignorant of why they’re angry.

it’s easy to sit under a shelter because you’re protected by privilege & wonder why the masses complain that they’re fed up with the rain.

it’s easy to sit in your warm house with state of the art equipment & wonder why people constantly complain that they’re left out in the cold

it’s easy to celebrate because your crops have yielded a high amount & question why other people complain, unaware that they weren’t given enough seeds. unaware that it barely ever rains here… the sun doesn’t even shine here…

it’s easy to be blinded by privilege. to remain neutral in situations of oppression simply because you are unaffected. but to remain neutral, is to strengthen the power of the oppressor.

SEMENTINE 

[adjective] 

pertaining to sowing; of the time of seeding fields. 

Etymology: ultimately derived from Latin semen, “seed of plants, animals or men; inborn characteristic; posterity; progeny; offspring,” figuratively, “origin, essence, principle, cause”.

[J. R. Slattum - Seed]

I was laughing so hard that’s why it’s so blurry, but I still kind of like it? I miss these guys and our late night adventures.

I’m permitted to use terms like ‘clearly,’ 'obviously,’ 'it is self-evident,’ and 'it can be shown’ and skip over vast quantities of information to leave you wondering how it is 'clearly’ the case.
