Favorite bits that make me laugh and recognize you, the person that I love:
"these idealisms were burning off my personality like corn husks on a grill"
"I was, as I said, reluctant to join Substack. But then I’m reluctant to join _anything_;"
"On this platform, I’ve limited my participation to making tiny quilts with abstruse symbols, then draping them on fenceposts at the outskirts of town. Maybe you’ll walk by one of them and find it beautiful, and I’ll feel somewhat smug."
Thank you for being you, and laboring to bring this voice into language; it's a joy
Thank you for conceptualizing this so gracefully! It’s terrifying to think of a world where language, thought, and process get completely replaced by AI. Could this be the beginning of the death of creativity? Or is there hope yet...
To me, AI is the homogenization of "thought", of humanity. A dumbing down. AI is based on what is already known; de novo creativity is absent. It's insidious: eventually everyone will think the same thing about everything. George Orwell told us all about it in 1984. AI never would have generated that!
This was such a delight to read. Thank you so much.

Tyler, delighting in what comes forth when you roar and when you write.
