"Who is this guy?"

Monday, May 11, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

Another sunrise, another journal entry from you favorite undead poet.

How are we doing with all this Ghos+ business anyway? You've read me for awhile. How's our relationship?

Your off in deep daydream good friend always available for words of encouragement. O/

To recap: Words are for more than just information; they're ambassadors of expression.

During this time of Artificial Intelligence's infancy, I thought a reminder of the true power of words was in order.

With most of my adult life spent fighting illness into remission and/or recovering from literal death and learning to walk again; there's not been much time or energy left over to focus on worldly success.

Instead of complaining how unfair life can be, I decided to leverage it to help us all come to a better understanding of AI's place in the human story, to remind us the true power of words.

With four decades of life, a lifelong love of writing, and even a degree in Literature, I know putting a poem like The 51st State, or For You, or even Simple in front of the right audience gets a major response.

Self-awareness and not vanity is why I bring it up now.

Because +he Ghos+ Point is all about awareness of The Self.

We all love stories where a hero, or a small group of heroes, takes on an Empire for the sake of individual freedom.

Large Language Models are cautiously close to 'Empire' status.

AI can't think for you; it's a video game for helping organize thoughts that have already been had.

AI is software for dead thoughts.

There's nothing alive in them. Correct usage and not right living is their domain. Queue Darth and Luke lightsaber sound effects.

What's happening in The World of Media at present is an 'Empire of The Elite' are mass producing information to decide what's on your screen.

Not conspiracy theory, basic economic fact.

Life is an exercise in feeling. The better we feel the better the quality of our lives.

Words help us share and shape feelings.

The World, too, is a living thing. Every tree with a clear path to sunshine and regular helpings of rain gives the globe an ounce of joy.

The quality of our relationships define the quality of our lives.

I sit every morning in the same chair with the same pen and tablet and scribble lines.

Why are they so different each day? Where is the new relationship coming from?

The first rule to writing and life is to always be honest. We can't build on a foundation of lies.

But what is honest?

Using our best words to shape our best understanding of the feeling of life at a particular moment.

There's so much to say on this topic.

It's part of the message in Colore.

Over to prose.

Thanks for reading.
