“One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883
Gutter Philosophy
Having chaos within oneself is easy for neurodivergent individuals. But giving birth to a dancing star feels just as hard as “giving birth” sounds — without a C-section.
Your dancing star. Your breakthrough project. This work or idea you’re proud of. This one thing you’re passionate about. This talent you discover.
It starts as a tiny dot that swims in a raging sea of creative ejaculate, injected by an unknown spirit, fertilised by chance.
It will eat you from the inside. It will suck you dry.
But until it has nested in the right section of your mind — until it grows you, and ultimately aggressively forces its way out into the world, makes you suffer to see the light of day, where everybody could see it — until that moment it’s just a parasite feeding on your soul.
A parasite among others. A thought, a longing, an itch that constantly itches — and you can’t reach to scratch it.
I guess that’s why the world is drowning in a flood of mediocre projects (like this one?). Drowning in fake stuff, hypercharged by AI. The tool you need to finally scratch that goddamn itch. Ah, that feels good. Flush it out!
But beware — the tiny dots stay tiny when the sea becomes an ocean. An ocean of slop that drowns your dancing star.
