All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

Great posts, Cain.

The main idea that struck me is freedom as an act--and specifically a temporary one.

It's a lot like the notion that mystical experience is a process (decentering, recentering, and grounding) in which one steps outside the boundaries and assumptions of one's society in order to taste something ineffable and then comes back with a new perspective, which one anchors into the fabric of one's culture even as one's understanding is transformed.
