i was thinking of shrapnel sort of as the response to the 'it doesnt involve me' mentality

sure everything may seem sweet for the time being
and sure people may not directly cause any of the foul shit going on
but
theres no telling when shit gets set off and people find themself caught in the crossfire

that shit stings like a motherfucker


i find it less acceptable to get dented by other peoples bullshit than to get caught outside in a rainstorm

and by bullshit - i mean other peoples decision making process resulting in (unnecessary) negative repercussions



this whole thing is along the lines 'if you dont come to america, america will come to YUO' mentality


id love to not be discussing these things
but the landscape suggests that these things need to be taken care of


unless people enjoy getting unnecessarily dismembered for no apparent reason

We need flak jackets for when we're riding our motorcycles,

The Flak Iron Prison.

The best armor is contempt for things like that.

LHX

contempt

hmm

interesting



contempt for what exactly?

having been made vulnerable in the first place?
or for being killed inadvertently by our own species?
neat hell

Jasper

Situational contempt.  It's always more contemptible if you look at the situation you're in right now.

Contempt for shrapnel would seem the best blanket statement though.

LHX

yes

i can get on board with that



actually

i like it

Let me know if I've taken the metaphor too far.

[SSOOKN mode]

1. kether -> what exactly is - exploding
(leading to)
2. chokmah -> explosion
(leading to)
3. binah -> shrapnel + BIP
(leading to)
4. chesed -> what are you going to do with/about it, ideas
(leading to)
5. geburah -> HIMEOBS FOR GREAT JUSTICE (among other things)

Are you just using it as a structural element, or can you actually relate some of the other aspects?  The only one I could really see is Kether, and even that I have doubts on.

it was mostly the explosion (unguided force) in 2 followed by the rigidness in 3 that prompted me to it.

on the other hand it's such a structual element because this is a type of pattern seems to occur everywhere. maybe it's my own law of fives :)

Relate it to the pentacle, and see if you can make the points connect in any sort of meaningful way.

mmmyeah maybe get back on subject instead, and skip the occult correspondences (which i'm not that good at anyway)

so let's see, SHRAPNEL

first, some trigger happens, like a human coming into existence, gaining consciousness, or perhaps a society of human beings getting together and start doing all kinds of creative stuff, just to see what happens. some things don't work, some thing do work, the whole mess starts gaining momentum, spinning around itself, faster and faster while the things that don't work stand still and it's only a matter of time before the one smashes into the other and all bits fly off in all directions (SHRAPNEL!) hitting people and other elements of the system in their guts (or more appropriate parts, like bureaucratic logistics and waiting lists) and then people think they just need to screw the things that don't move (work) tighter so they won't fly off next time around, but in the end that means the things that do move (the creative spinning bits) will get jammed.

but the shrapnel. these are the side-effects of doing your thing. or their thing. it's like debris that you cannot avoid because people everywhere are doing their thing. but it works both ways, on the one hand the grays are getting in your way, and on the other you are in the way of the grays.

that's my thoughts on the subject so far.

Shrapnel - You're sitting in your favourite spot, chilling out and watching the sun go down when all of a sudden you:

a) Suddenly realise that you are being bombarded by millions of really stupid memes, some of which are affecting you quite deeply.

b) Catch a stray bullet in the nads from a nearby gangfight/legitimate imperial invasion

c) Are burned at the stake for having a beard
