Sequence down at the canal

Occasionally here in Vietnam where I am I go down to the canal where it can be pleasant when the weather is nice. One odd thing I’ve noticed is that the regular walkers always show up at the exact same time, and I’m pretty sure in the same order. It’s very strange. This post is just to document it in case I want to refer to it later. I got there at around 1:15pm today and left around 5pm.

  • short butch woman with the flask
  • thin man showing his chest with the hat
  • the pissing security guard
  • the two old men one with the gloves
  • the old man that walks like he’s a tough guy but he’s not exactly a beef cake
  • the two middle aged strong women that always warpath
  • the large indian yet sort of western looking woman in the sari with the strangely familiar face
  • the point at the ground while he walks no no no imaginary metal detector bloke

I’ll likely update this post as time goes on. There are others of course that walk the canal but these are the ones that are there literally every time I go there.

Hyper hyper control days

  • Things are very delicate
  • Every gosh darn movement in synchronous / anti-synchronous, everyone is confused and on edge, walking on spiritual egg shells
  • Like passing through double sourced imaginary triangulated data clouds, kind of scary then it passes through you, and you are still fine, then calmly move on to the next thing
  • Feeling quite sneezy today, sort of blocked nose, will it turn to full on cold?

Perverts vs normies

Some notes on perverts vs normies. When I say pervert here, I’m not talking about sexual perversion but just the more general variety. All these thoughts are just experimental as I sit here waiting for my devices to charge, in a very topsy tirvy, contradictionary and spiritually confused world. And yeah that last sentence isn’t meant to be super precise. Writing about this sort of stuff is next to impossible.

Anyway, the thoughts:

  • Is there a max limit any one of these systems can handle?
  • It can’t be either all perverts or all normies, or things start to block.
  • The minority acts as lubricant
  • But there is risk that the minority group get turned into slaves
  • Maybe the pendulum swings between each extreme
  • Maybe there is an optimum balance?
  • Each side not can only see the other side via prediction and instrumentation
  • They are essentially asymptotic to each other, there is no way to prove categorically the existence of the other you have to guess
  • It’s very difficult to think in both paradigms at the same time, so things become impossible
  • But you can sort of ‘feel’ your way through
  • The ‘shapes’ of concepts and dynamics are exact mirror opposites so you can guess their position and direction using basic geometry extrapolation
  • Is calling this entire line of thinking perverts vs normies accurate or useful? Probably not, but that’s all I got right now
  • I could have just as easily called it normality vs the infinite algorythm. Or maybe infinite libertarianism: inside out authoritarianism.
  • You very quickly get into the realms of philosophy, art and religion with this sort of stuff. Life goes on.
