Favorite Films

I know, you’re burning for me to get this cult of personality party started! You want to know what Fort’s favorite films are, and then haughtily contrast yourself (or meritriciously connubiate your opinions with his) (is my language killing your priapism/dessicating your vulvic suffusion? You’re welcome.)

Florid Epiphanies

While visiting my folks in Florida last week, I woke and bolted upright from my bed at 1 AM on a Wednesday. It was all so suddenly clear. I got up, found a pencil, and wrote in the dark (on what turned out to be a Skip-BO scoresheet):

  • Consciousness is a locality phenomenon
  • Consciousness is warped by gravity – an illusion of locality in the manifold
  • Reality is a manifold of warped substance
  • Consciousness is the thing that is warped by gravity (mass in locality)

I no longer feel the gravitas of meaning therein. But at the time it seemed genius.
