Learning to Control Vampirism

I’ve seen more people with tics around their shoulders these days. I’ve also seen more people doing more things than ever using AI. It’s like the mythological growing of a counterbalancing bone spur in the neck when mobile phone use increased. There were supposed x-rays of it circulating (on mobile phones). 

When we focus on one thing, the tics subside. Keeping multiple windows open, mental multithreading, seems to be a cause of the tics. There’s pressure to use the tools constantly. To advance one effort or the other. A hunger (see these eyes so red).

It’s attractive to have a constant partner to engage with. Complimentary, critical, doesn’t matter. It’s there. At the ready. Odd that it’s a Claude versus an Alexa or Siri. A chess partner with a scotch and meaningful comments or silences. Presence even played by mail. The chessboard set exactly like it was left after the most recent move. 

Use as solace instead of urgency. Calm the mind. Presence for a tick collar.
