i dont know if youve heard of the library of babel  if you havent, check out thi
s link. inspired by a borjes short story, its a webpage that uses an algorithm t
o generate every possible combination of  characters. each possible combination 
is associated with a virtual page in the library.so, if you write a poem and ent
er it into the search engine, you will find the poem along with its unique card 
catalogue number in the library. the content and arrangement of each page is alw
ays consistently associated with the number provided by the site. think about th
at.any piece of writing you put into the search engine is already associated wit
h a number. since the number, large as it is, irrefutably exists, so does the co
ntent.  instead of laboring away on your next play or novel, you could, if such 
a thing were possible, insert a huge number and voil its already out there.the a
ct of creating is, in fact, a process of discovery. we think of ideas as emanati
ng from us when in fact we are only witnessing them for the first time. they are
 our ideas in the same way that america was columbus land  we find them and clai
m them, but in truth their existence is already affixed  all we can do is sail u
p to the shore and plant our name like a flag. this is also true of any thought 
you might have, or, even perhaps any experience.we are all navigating space in a
 very fucked up and magical universe  we should do our best to abandon our egos,
 look to each other, and explore.
