Things I Don't Always Know How To Talk About

By: A M Davis
  • Summary

  • As a child I was told,” You always have something to say. How do you come up with this stuff?” Things I think about a lot: Metaphysics, Artificial Intelligence, culture, how race and class in this country hit me from birth, biology and physics. "The way you do one thing is the way you do everything." That’s something Reverend Eloise Oliver said at times to her congregation of would-be mystics. The first time I heard her, I looked around and said,” These people are all crazy.” Now I’m quoting her. https://annmariedavis.com/

  • Suffering

  • Who am I Mad At?
    May 17 2024

    Several years ago, I had a brief email correspondence with the woman who sued the Wachowski brothers for copywrite for The Matrix. I briefly reflect on my impression of her situation. I don't know how everything ended. In this episode, I reflect on why I'm always getting mad at people, places and things, as I got mad at a popup on my computer. I did all of this in the light of knowing that all things are in a very real way, interdependent.

    In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the inter-related structure of reality. - Martin Luther King Jr.
