"it seems like the judgement of beauty hinges on choice, which seems
like an illusion created to cope with the unknown. when everything is
known it's understood that nothing has agency and so everything does,
that nothing is beautiful and so everything is, that there is no
difference between art and life that a poem is a paper bag is a peach
is an ant colony, and we can say this now, we can "choose" to suppose
it's true and still not know it but sometimes we can know it and in
those sometimes we always know it and always knew it. and maybe the
goal is to slip into that sometimes/always forever."
