Ruins

The ruins appear as the opposite of ruins. The ruins appear as optimisation.

Who can understand the ruins as ruins? Who gets the ruins? Only those who loathe ourselves. Only those who know their failure. Who refuse to be flattered.


Refractory, the idiots. Backwards. Retarded. Behind the curve, and behind all curves. Lagging. Yet to catch up, and never catching up.

Missing the cues, the idiots. Possessed of poor timing. Bad timing. Missing all the opportunities.

Not even acting in their own interests, the idiots. Not even advancing their own cause. Not even helping ourselves. Not even coming to our own assistance.


They lack the modesty, the run-of-the-mill academics. They lack the idiocy – and the courage of idiocy.

They cannot see themselves as they are: as technicians of thought. As intelligences, opportunist. As Conventionals. As Typicals. As Generics. As Averages.

As limited intelligences. Operative intelligences. Functional intelligences. Who are good at things, in this world. Good at this world, and the game of this world. who are rising up the levels.
