Dollcee said, do you ever get those slogans on your device that say things like, ‘learn to fail’. My immediate reaction is, why would I need to learn something that I can do as well as any expert of failure. Failing is my forte.
Dos said, I think it only means that failing is part of learning.
Dollcee didn’t pay any attention to what Dos said and carried on, I would love to be the perfect citizen of the culture, but if you attempted to do that, you end up with a neural network full of thought mush. In fact, on my journey to becoming the perfect cultural citizen, I seem to spend an awful lot of time picking through the thought mush trying to identify valid concepts that are worthwhile adopting.
Dos was not following along with Dollcee and was still dealing with failing, he said, I am sure I don’t recognize all my mistakes or failings, but when I become aware of my failures, I get a real lift.
Dollcee said, sometimes it feels like the culture has some sort of authority that intentionally bombards citizens with totally ridiculous diversionary nonsense to make it really difficult to pick through the thought mush.
Dos said, I don’t think appreciating failure is anything new, when citizens had to learn to ride a horse so they could go to the mini-mart for supplies, there was a slogan that went, when you fall off the horse, get back on straight away.
Dollcee was on a thought train and was not going to be distracted by a bucking horse, she went on. I think thought mush is the result of cultural noise created by random exposure to fixated interests broadcasting their messages on every type of transmission equipment currently being used. I wonder if there is a way of blocking all transmissions that you identify as thought mush contributors.
Dos was on the path to enlightenment through navigating his way passed failures, I believe it is important to keep learning from your failing until your organs fail completely.
Padoke thought to himself, dealing with a parallel universe will be a breeze after being exposed to unconnected simultaneous conversations.
