this is why 'oh he's like SO funny' is so important. the ability to elicit humor by combining ideas implies ability to increase degrees of freedom. it indicative of potential for elopement instead of merely increasing the quality of imprisonment.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1349599068033490944 …
don't want to oversimplify koestler's book act of creation too much but 'ideas can date and have sex' seems to cover it.https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/05/20/arthur-koestler-creativity-bisociation/#posts:~:text=term%20bisociation …

koestler emphasizes the difference between bisociation and association because being in a relationship and being in the friendzone are two very different things despite the surface behavior being similar. (they're both forms of being together at any moment in time)
Show this thread -
the friendzone is when two worlds travel through time together. to be in a relationship requires the creation of a NEW world. the world of "US" and "WE"

as this new world becomes more stable, the vestigial old worlds and eventually drop off. their "weights" become near zero.https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/sleep-is-the-mate-of-death?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxMDU4NTI1LCJwb3N0X2lkIjozMzc5OTc2NSwiXyI6IkV0Z0NsIiwiaWF0IjoxNjE2MDkxNDg4LCJleHAiOjE2MTYwOTUwODgsImlzcyI6InB1Yi04OTEyMCIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.5SZFBY0HpOUyl0Jl-pTQxfOFT_kxlXri-I14lGL-AWM#main:~:text=So%20you%20want%20to%20do%20what,weights%20that%20represent%20the%20same%20information …

to create a new world is not easy. this primal act of creation encroaches on God's territory. it's is CONSTANT work. you have to recreate the world over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_First_Dates …

these new worlds constantly destroy the old worlds, carving a path into the future. once the creation stops, the old worlds have to constantly be re-affirmed and rehydrated through energy and upkeep and sacrifice. this is dogma.
