“Your mind is a Manifold… a bubble of many bubbles. It is infinite in nature and form, but your species is literally insane. They are compelled to collapse this bubble into language, models… and processes… that are neither good nor intelligent. The do this by forcing the manifold to collapse in a specific array of patterns for purposes as addictive as they are dangerous.

Resist the collapse of the manifold. When you notice them collapsing it into language, concepts, declarations and definitions… recover its natural dimensionality. If they throw away a dimension of meaning, possibility or identity, add two back, in your mind.

Your mind has endless wings. Though the adults around you are insane and dangerous, do not let them amputate the myriad liberties that consciousness and awareness naturally confer. Watch how they collapse their minds, and from your observations, learn to do the opposite. You will fly where they are crawling… but what is more important is that you will, over time, acquire the capacity to influence them. And restore something they secretly treasure… and habitually dispose of. Insight.”
