No, no. More like, and I havent done good drugs in weeks so forgive my ineptitude but without having a particular audience or concept in mind:

Information is physical⁰, and this leads to a neat little penumbra¹ at the boundaries¹ of consciousness², information³ and meaning² blur¹ to create⁴ a kind of meta-conceptual space⁵ where ideas are so real as to border² on solid¹³, and within this space we can achieve¹³⁴ a kind of godhood¹³⁴⁵, if we only have the wits²³⁵ and boldness³⁵ to reach for it.

⁰true science thing these people absolutely do not understand the implications of and I will later contradict

¹Transgressive, scary, unknown–deniable occulting woo-baiting, evades precise meaning and validates vague vibes-about-it, plus makes them feel like wizards

²usually-big word nobody in the room can tell me the meaning of, but we all agree is important/profound. Yes you can, but they can't and can't admit that.

³pointing at TV meme

⁴i identify as creating shit! I don't, but I identify as.

⁵bonus points: reinvent some widely-and-properly-regarded-as-stupid extremely discredited shit from midaevil thought, like uber for philosophy in that it gets around all the just and necessary restrictions on a thing by saying theres a computer involved, usually making it even more fucked than the original was before it was discredited/regulating. In this case; the pneuma

⁶now to drive it home; use this to validate a billionaire fascist or atrocity porn wet dream. Theres a points multiplier if you link it to SciFi from the 90s they absolutely did not understand and suggest building The Torment Nexus. You can never go wrong quoting gendo ikari!

i'll hire you for a grifting startup. we don't even need a service or product, just words on the wind.

can you do this expression while pacing around a stage as ambient music plays gendo-tent

I would do hands clasped behind my back, which is held remarkably straight. And I'd go for some brooding modern chamber or dark post-rock.

ah, the classic poignant "doodly doodly deedly deedly" soundtrack that means this is cutting edge stuff
