always be suspicious of people obsessed with creating or returning to something beautiful it means they see an Ugly world

a coder who cares about beautiful code for example is stuck in a loop that can only end in insanity

the coder achieves flow and beauty when it can think so smoothly that it can DO without THINKING. the same oneness achieved by artists and pianists

however the coder, in order to reach this state more continuously must get better at THINKING. thus its need for the flow states of non-thinking are impeded by the INCREASED thinking necessary to reach the NON thinking flow states

it a self sabotaging effort that happens only with tokenized thought because tokenizing it makes it so repeatable and thus through its compression CANNOT take up the 100% immersion necessary for a flow state

coding is literally the opposite of sex because coding is infinitely compressible and replicable but (good) sex is not. because each moment is unique it cannot be duplicated or compressed without becoming porn
