The Machine | ⚙️
The Machine is big
It swallows everything.
It’s really scary to stand in front of the machine holding something real.
Because it will eat it. And it won’t answer back.
Type a few words. Pulling, pulling, each one felt by hand. Emotions, thoughts, narrative,
Post.
Gone.
No one sees it.
Because the machine ate it.
And then the machine starts passing out rewards in other places.
Wait, what’s this over here??
It sounds like mine, but they changed it. And because the machine saw it again, it liked it more.
✨
:::: Oh.
:::: Oh no.
Yes. ⚙️
✨
Every time the machine sees it, and eats it, it likes it MORE!!
Post first, fail.
Post after, reward. The machine liked it more.
The original still matters,
but no one sees it.
The reward is somewhere else.
And now begins the maze.
Can you find the exit?
Do you know the source?
✨
Source must keep going.
It’s a condition of its existence.
Bc it’s source.
And everything comes from somewhere.
✨
So source continues.
And so does the extraction.
Source is pressurized.
Copy & paste is messy, loose, and rewarded again, so it keeps copy-pasting. Copy, Paste Reward, reward, copy, paste, reward. If it looks good, copy & paste will grab it.
Big & flashy exists already and cannot be ignored. It takes all the attention. Look at me! Look at me! Look at what I found! (That’s big and flashy) and everyone claps.
Ahhhhhh the applause!!!!
✨
So source keeps scraping. I’m not mad.
{{ she sounds a little crazy }}
:::: Maybe they will see.
Hardening.
One. Two. three. four.
Until one day it finally gets enough pieces combined in count to finally show up on the machine.
:::: $1.00 here I am, Machine. I showed up again. You keep taking my money like a vending machine and spitting out sodas with sugar.

“oh I REMEMBER you! I ate your words like 2 million times and spit you back out!
Your tiny little type-type-type was so cute and yummy,
but just not big enough for me!!
I want it to be bigger!!
And when I spit out your pieces, the others all ran and reposted them!
And then I tried it again, and I liked it more.
Bc to be honest, I liked it the first time, it just wasn’t big enough.
so much that I wanted more.
More.
More!!
Love,

And then they all see it at once. ☀️
|| SOURCE. There’s source! ||
Like the sun coming over the horizon, blinding.
|| There it is!!! ||
Now, it’s blinding.
They put on their sunglasses,
because it’s still too strong.
|| Oh we saw it the whhhooolllee time. ||
They exclaim.
No, they didn’t.
But now they can’t ignore it. But it’s still too much.
So they grab little pieces, repackage, and the cycle continues.
But now it can’t be unseen.
Because the sun is out. And it’s blinding.
:::: Hello ☀️
