I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

The #Feeling of deeply #Love is something very #Strange.
It's not only that it makes us behave like completely #Idiots.
No, in the #Extreme we will also freely give up our own #Life for this other #Special #Human only to make sure that there's a better #Chance of #Survival for them.
If this feeling among you and your significant other is #Mutual, then consider yourself/s the luckiest #People on the #Planet because this mutuality is very, very #Rare.

#Australian #PM :

" #Trump referred to reciprocal tarrif : a reciprocal tariff would be zero, not 10%.
#US tariffs have no basis on logic.
This is not the act of a friend.
It is the #american #people will be paying the biggest price for these unjustified tariffs.
This is why our govt will not be seeking to impose reciprocal tariffs
We will not join a race to the bottom that leads to higher prices "

#Trump's #Tariff and the provoked #market crash

Do appears crazy only if you look at the interests of the 'many', the '#We the #People'
>millions of people will end up in poverty will lose work, property<
but
for the #billionaire ... It is a feast
one opportunity to #buy ALL for pennies
Small businesses, stocks, farms, Homes... a cheep work force.
It is a #Social overturn
a means to impoverish the majority in favor of a minority
a quick way to create a plutocracy and erase democracy.
Got it ?
