Laika Techno Bar
Sitting @ Laika, listening to tech-house.
Waiting for Miya
It’s unfashionable sitting alone. I have a glowing piece of tech in front of me which gives me a reason to be here, but otherwise l would be unfashionably naked and alone.
People are social. I feel like it’s a norm. I don’t want to be alone at a party. but, why not? Why is it normal to be social?
indi, the bush is about to be beaten around so bear with me: it always goes back to the tree falling in the forest proverb. if you’re alone in a forest and there’s no one there to bear witness are you really alone? do you even exist? if no one else were around to witness your solitude than solitude would be where it’s at because it’s all there’d be. loners would be kings, by default. every man would be an island. but the kingdom would exist only in the mind of the loner. after all, a kindom requires knights and masons and damsels in distress. funny how the loner in this scenario might dream of being king even though there’s no one to rule. and therein lies an answer to the question. no, that doesn’t answer the question at all. i suddenly have the urge to be in the warm presence of others.
