I’m thinking of giving up the writing, actually. I’m thinking of giving up my job and devoting my life to social media, well, Twitter and Facebook really, maybe MeWe too, so that I can do it justice, so that I can try to become a good person, and a good friend, and be a good netizen, to be part of the community so that I can do good, and help and support people. I think I would find that really satisfying, and that’s what I want to do, really. So I might give up my physical presence, my body, my skin, the weight of my bones, my hunger, my . . . you know . . . my . . . physical needs, and just become an essence, a digital essence. It will still be me, but I won’t be a burden on anyone any more. I won’t be a consumer, and I won’t be using up fossil fuels. No more waste, no more hair, no more fingernails. Instead, I’ll be integrated into the system but I’ll be full time, full on. I won’t have to worry about getting old, or recharging my batteries. Yes, I might do it. Then it will be possible for me to be truly happy.
