Great news for no one on earth besides me is that the path to porn (and more refined things) is back, and I intend to ride it as far as I can. I had not tried for months, although when I did try the path seemed to be either gone or somehow access to it was constipated with either network slowness or obtuse filtering that did not make clear the fact that it was filtering at work. For some reason access to my payphone site is still allowed, as is access to other sites I link to, but sorabji.com is no longer reachable. For whatever reason I did my content tricks from that site when it would have saved a step to do it at the PP.
Yeah, I know, I sound like a little kid at times like this, and if I do what is wrong with that? Truth be told I honestly do not really care about getting to the open Internet through these kiosks but as long as there is the possibility it feels like my obligation to exploit it. I’ll bury a link deep in the site and let it rip.
It was an interesting thought I had about the inverse ratios of social media relevance. On the one hand social media has done what it does with regard to my little shenanigan. It has made it appear that this is an epidemic, and that kiosks all over town are blasting ice cream music. That’s not true, at least not yet.
But it also interesting to consider the inverse of that ratio in estimating how many people in the real world are talking about this when thousands of people online appear to be. Could that ratio go into the millions? I don’t know, I doubt it, but it’s fun to contemplate.
I had another thought, entirely unrelated, about Bourdain and suicide. You could say that the decision to off yourself is kind of like hijacking the abortion argument that it’s your body and you can do whatever the hell you want with it, including murdering it. But that gets onto touchy matters of when life begins (in the abortion case) when in the case of suicide there is no question that life had begun. From there it gets messy but I’m going to think about this some.
