(Peter’s Thoughts began life as one of the short stories from Special Fire, a collection of pieces set in the dream city of Gasglow, which formed the backdrop for my novel Luda. I finished the story in 2023 and it was published in the Nova Scotia Vol.
A much needed escape from the real world horrors this morning, and a lovely return to dream-Glasgow. I now feel much more justified in my decision not to put up a Christmas tree last year!
This was delightfully, poignantly, and intricately fucked up :)))
I think I'll move Luda to the top of the reading pile.
Some stray thoughts and associations FWIW:
"I've never met an uninteresting person." - James Joyce
The overwhelming reality of the true and real multiverse we encounter wherever people gather is rendered invisible by its ubiquity.
Even right where we are sitting now, Timothy Leary would have called this "Neuro-electric Contelligence," but here it's just Saturday morning.
Like that old chestnut, if you didn't experience "enlightenment"(neuro-atomic fusion) you wouldn't experience anything at all!
Also! As people correctly dissect and parse LLM machinations, distinguishing their ontological status from that of true intelligence, I notice a vague similarity to how Buddhists deconstruct our experience of intrinsic selfhood with the five skandhas.
Characters and Images as deep and as painful as Kelly's self inflicted emotional support gash spatter tittles of raw human emotion across our cerebrum like some sort of rogue street tagger direct from the bowels of Glasgow; you're docketing our collective Nous, ambulating us into forgotten realms where True Power has taken refuge from the Profane.
Permit me to dedicate to you, via the medium of sound, some birthday delights.
Pardon my imperiousness, Requiem the tunes might not be, but AI they are not (at least there's that).

Thrown stones, glass houses, etc, et al, ibid!

Finally on this moonlight night, direct from my room for your actual birthday:
https://youtu.be/awBFsUDan9M?si=COt7XXuRwyee7c9A
Unicorns and cannonballs (you were there in the turnstiles)
Palaces and piers (with the wind at your heels)
Trumpets towers and tenements (you stretched for the stars)
Wide oceans full of tears (and you know how it feels)
Flags rags ferryboats (to get too high)
Scimitars and scarves (too far)
Every precious dream and vision (too soon)
Underneath the stars
Jolly 66th Birthday!
A very happy birthday from D-n-A!
