By popular decree, Romanticism gave way to the Enlightenment and its magic new rational jewels. Rome indeed falls 9 times an hour and soon we migth see a new Enlightenment, a turn away from the tomb-grave-robbing ghouls and mummies of economics and law: sets of ideas too obsessed with data of the past and not of the future. A mummy and a ghoul is a beautiful thing in its own way, but for a museum not an invasive mega-macrocosmic ideology.
Rome is rebuilt every year and expert crews mine for old art -aboveground the actors recreate theatre and events from centuries and millenia ago- long past the natural lifespan of the characters, mere humans while they were alive. Their image is kept vibrant in the mimicry humans excel at, but is it necromantic? The insides of the city are set with concrete beams, a rib cage and spinal cord for the vital organs, the life, the breath for this city-monster or demigod.
I tried to write this once already and the first version was better haha, but the DAMNED THING translated it into hindi without alerting me and the original text is no longer in english and i can't retrieve it. i have becoem romatnic for my articulation from 5 minutes ago, maybe its rational to mix necromanticism with life in the present, to enjoy both. MAYBE ITS NOT A CLEARCUT DIVISION between the two eras but more of an organic and chemical switch occuring over time in human minds of the time period we sloppily bookended as 1 and 2 -each human of the time was just trying to make some art and be happy, figuring out the gestalht, figuring out this or that and helping others, socially activating their stuff.
Why do I want to help enlighten and satisfy ETERNALLY EVERY soul that gets born on earth? Maybe for the same reason that business people want to own everything, or a court wants to rule on everything –simply for the betterment of everything, a bit beyond what I really need for myself, but that I just want –I can feel somewhere that I may as well take the idea to completion. There will be limits of my time, expertise, and other resources, but oh well, I will probably get farther in the goal if I think big (this might be wrong but hey its exciting to think big, bigger words bigger sentences, belt buckles, quantum circuits, etc, more and more often, for longer, for cheaper) there are certain things that just ring true, i simply aspire in their direction. if we are both goign towards it maybe we can invent a machine or hitchhike together, this woudl be novel! a very large car could be constructed hmmm and all humans could leave earth for earth 2! aahhhh earth 2, this sounds amazing.
