Integrating concepts is hard and fraught with many problems. One’s assumptions, level of knowledge or expertise in given fields, and various biases all come into play. One’s ability to know enough about what any truth might be is a massive limiting factor, particularly when it comes to politics in all its forms, but also when it comes to the big existential questions, where spirituality, science, religion and politics all meet in the information vortex.
What this post is about
This post is an attempt to go some way to explaining WTAF Very Slow Thinking’s recent output is about. The VST team discussed the value of explaining this in literal terms or whether to just leave things to run as they have been. We opted to provide some explanation in the hope that our diverse readers will better understand VST team’s intent and in doing so, be better able to judge VST’s output in its completeness.
Fiction as a means to integrate disparate concepts
VST’s recent fictional output isn’t about UFOs, ESP or weird shit. They are metaphorical devices employed to explore tangible concepts that are related where hard connective truths between them are ephemeral. For those who have read The Child Inside, hopefully this will be obvious. The writer’s intent is to explore themes grounded in tangible but ambiguous phenomena. It’s not all made up bullshit, which is why VST has recently published odd documents from the CIA reading room that have been declassified that are key parts of the story, but interesting as standalone items as well. We could publish more. All but a couple of the CIA Project codenames cited in the story are real and backed up by declassified information that demonstrates that the US government alone did a lot of weird shit in the 20th century, and therefore probably still does now.
The Child Inside is not intended to be science fiction in the far flung sense, but rather a factional, exploratory melding of known and possible phenomena that tracks from the recent past into a very near future.
VST could have put out a bunch of literal essays on each of the topics:
Acknowledged CIA activities
UFOs
Money laundering
Overt and covert political interventions
Belief systems
Consciousness & existentialism
Technology
Evolution and transhumanism
Moral relativism
Covid
Propaganda
And more…
If we had done that, joining the topics would have been hard or abstract. The fiction and characters of The Child Inside are the writer’s means of bringing the above together to interact in the reader’s mind.
Some hard references have been provided to demonstrate the topics that are grounded in reality, but not all. As we say, it’s not all completely fictional.
Feedback
That’s a quick explanation of why VST has gone in the direction it has for the time being.
It’s our hope that The Child Inside interests enough people to stick with its exploration of big, contemporary themes. Don’t get too hung up on the UFO shit - it’s a plot device that relates to multiple, referenced realities and lets us connect to a few more existential topics, some of which are yet to come. We are not trying to state that UFOs and aliens are absolutely real, just suspend your disbelief if the writing is good enough to allow you to do so. If it’s not, please let us know so that the writer can be subjected to CIA persuasion or elimination techniques - we’ve downloaded copies of the relevant CIA manuals and are just hankering for an excuse to use them on someone.
On that note, the story’s author is grateful for any feedback or critique, so please feel free to share any thoughts with us in the comments or email semmelweisz@protonmail.com
If it’s badly written, boring to read, has style issues, is difficult to follow or whatever, let us know.
We’re open to questions and suggestions around plot, if you have ideas that you would like us to explore. That’s a bit of a challenge to the VST team, should you care to throw them our way.
Now, here’s a song for you that has metaphorical meaning and relevance to The Child Inside. Enjoy the song. A moment’s googling will tell you a little about what the Manic’s meaning of their song is. Work out for yourselves where the overlaps with the story lies.
Your love alone
Is not enough, not enough, not enough
When times get tough
Oh, they get tough, they get tough, they get tough
Trade all your heroes
In for ghosts, in for ghosts, in for ghosts
They're always the ones that
Love you most, love you most, love you most
Your love alone
Is not enough, not enough, not enough
It's what you felt
It's what you said, what you said, what you said
You said the sky would
Fall on you, fall on you, fall on you
Through all the pain
Your eyes stayed blue, they stayed blue, baby blue
But your love alone won't save the world
You knew the secret of the universe
Despite it all you made it worse
It left you lonely
It left you cursed
You stole the sun
Straight from my heart, from my heart, from my heart
With no excuses
Just fell apart, fell apart, fell apart
No you won't make
A mess of me, mess of me, mess of me
For you're as blind as
A man can be, man can be, man can be[Chorus 2]
I could have seen for miles and miles
I could have made you feel alive
I could have placed us in a time
I could have written all your lines
I could have shown you how to cry
Your love alone is not enough
Your love alone is not enough
La la la la la la la la
I could have shown you
I show you how to cry
Your love alone is not enough
Your love alone
Thinking Slowly About Lots of Things
Here is something else for you to slow think about - your imminent chemical extermination, if you have been vaccinated - if you are not dead now, then you will be really soon - perhaps quicker than you can think, "that quickly" - I kid you NOT!!
