Y. I'm Here: Part I

For a lot of my life on this planet I’ve noticed something that I have consistently found disturbing. It’s the intersection of love & violence. I’ve often noticed how too many humans on my part of the planet, fundamentally believe forms of aggression and violence are parts of love. Some even equate both to a loving act for our own good. It isn’t true of course. It’s a construction of human interaction that has deep roots in under care for our species. It is nuanced and does get complicated. I’m not about to say it’s simple. It is twisted though. I’m here, in part, arting my way through this intersection with a specific intent - to break that intersection and create a detour to another pathway. If you feel threatened by that, you probably benefit in some way via that intersection. You gain something by propagating the notion, no matter how destructive it is in the data and outcomes, in maintaining the status quo. It’s time to ask yourself why that is and hand yourself some flowers. I’m already asking. How I examine this intersection is littered through out this place and by extension, substack where The Tangled Snickerpuss lives. I do this by peddling mystical knotty woo woo and blabbering on about the science/reading/experiencing surrounding this intersection and the detour. Won’t you come along?
