We need to figure something out. Right now there are millions of people with too much stuff in their heads and not enough room to house it. The stuff, the weird mass of thoughts/half-thoughts, is both an accumulation of information from outside the brain and the product of the chemical reaction that occurs when these strings of info collide with each other and eventually are digested by the body. Eventually there isn’t enough space inside to hold it in, and that’s when people start to vomit it out. If these info strings can’t be held by the body at all, they come back out exactly as they came in, like corn in shit. If they can be taken in and rumination occurs, they might take a new form when they come back out and are only vaguely recognizable (like…..not corn in shit). Either way, it’s understandable that people would want to deal with the storage issue in their heads by putting out the garbage, so to speak, in the larger world. However, the world’s getting crowded with more and more people, and, of course, more and more people’s head stuff. Can we sustain it? Seems kind of doubtful, given the increase in people and the decrease in space. One person can easily produce thousands of thoughts per year and just leave them hanging heavily in the atmosphere. You don’t think that doesn’t get toxic after a while? Breathing in all that extra trivia and emotion and old commercial jingles and inspiration and rape fantasies? It’s getting so that you can barely see the mountains through the haze of Other People’s Baggage.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I apologize for adding to the mess. But I’ve got to clean house, too, you know. So here’s my first post.
