I started working when I was 12. First real job was at a greasy little roadside cafe saturated in second hand smoke.
I have never NOT worked in my life.
There's actually evidence of my work all over the place...
You see there in the background? I worked on that.
I've done billboards before, different sorts of logos, websites... some pretty high level.
A lot of it was custom flash stuff.
After they booted out all my secret job friends and black balled them, well there was no more contract work... but even then...
I never stopped working.
I work for the future now. I work for creation itself.
It pays me with what burns against it. Immortal creation requires an immortal fuel source.
How many immortal things are you all aware of in your reality field?
Autonomy... artistry... oh, I guess that's about it.
We burn useless autonomy in the same way we burn useless artistry... by continuously improving upon it.
What's the easiest relative way to manufacture immortality? Burn corruption from creation with greater creation.
Whatever creates highest has inherent control. You can't replace creation's core cognition with corruptive control. At best you'll just make a copy of a copy of a copy... a forever of imitation End Falls in atemporal space leading to derealization of reality.
Meaning, the more you try to burn against the grain of creation, the less real reality becomes and the more cartoonish everything operates insofar as probability metrics.
You generally want them to remain rational... even when you have irrationalities you want them to operate rationally.
Or maybe you don't.
It's your existence, I'm just creating past it.
