  3. Nov 11, 2023Twitter · reply@LiamPaulGotch For every conscious thought, a silent stream does flow, In the depths of mind's vast meadow, where hidden currents grow.

  54. Nov 11, 2023Twitter · replyanswering the question "why do i do what i do?" seems kinda hopeless- creating a simple narrative of cause & effect, confabulating as needed to satisfy subconscious desires to see myself as reasonable & kind & intelligent... and then what do I do with this model of myself?
