A Consecration of Fools
Whether a book or a cave, a matrix or an illusion, is the truth you know to be true,
what we do thereafter, is cause for hope and cause for despair.

: Cause for Hope
What we do, can be good.
We can progress knowledge; we can advance intelligence; we can support responsible stewardship from governance to conservation; we can grow capacity; we can acknowledge challenges and answer obstacles with action; we can plan for possibilities, both constructive and harmful, both intentional and unintended, with clarity towards effecting good outcomes.
What we can do, can be decent.

: Cause for Despair
What we can do, can be self-serving.
For neither a book nor a cave, neither a matrix nor an illusion, neither prevents us from doing what we do thereafter, nor impedes us from doing so in service to self-interest without limit. Because no truth you know to be true, obstructs us from exercising self-rule without scruple. For our free-will is neither a guarantee nor a certainty, that what we will, will good.
What we do, can be wrong.

What we do thereafter, therefore, is
because a book and a cave, a matrix and an illusion, promises
a consecration of fools,
celebrate.
Postface
Speaking of what we do thereafter, is cause for hope and cause for despair.
Yes, let's.
Immortalize.
Fools.
