“does a society exist where it's become acceptable to wear 'helmets' enclosing one's entire head when in public to preempt social interaction”
Tao Lin

“note the similarities with buddhism
a buddhist who has achieved nirvana is not sad
primarily because it does not know the concept
of sad [...]”
Tao Lin, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Tao Lin
“You were one person alive and your brain was encased in a skull. There were other people out there. It took effort to be connected.”
Tao Lin, Bed

Tao Lin
“There was an enjoyment to being alive, he felt, that because of an underlying meaninglessness–like how a person alone for too long cannot feel comfortable when with others; cannot neglect that underlying the feeling of belongingness is the certainty, really, of loneliness, and nothingness, and so experiences life in that hurried, worthless way one experiences a mistake–he could no longer get at.”
Tao Lin, Eeeee Eee Eeee

Tao Lin
“Death is the end of the fear of death. [...] To avoid it we must not stop fearing it and so life is fear. Death is time because time allows us to move toward death which we fear at all times when alive. We move around and that is fear. Movement through space requires time. Without death there is no movement through space and no life and no fear. To be aware of death is to be alive is to fear is to move around in space and time toward death.”
Tao Lin, Bed
