a manifesto!

Here's another old-school effort. This was about 3 years ago. I'm deleting my old blog, and don't wanna lose these early recordings.

I stand here before you, not as an Asian or as an American or as an Asian American, but as a human, and part of this cool thing called humanity AKA humankind. We must become united. Humans as a whole, together and empathetic of one another, and sensitive (but not overly) because we are one, not differentiated or abstract in comparison. We are a big, large, gargantuan, obese family aching to love one another, to feel comfortable doing so, and to be able to say it at the top of our lungs, rapturously: “I love this human, man! He’s my nigga!” Seriously, ‘cause in essence, we are each other’s niggas. I am your nigga and you are my nigga. We are brothers, eternally congregated lovers, regardless of colors, just as our mothers and their sisters and their brothers. Everything and one and is connected. You’re going to be there for me when the lows reach rock bottom, and you’ll be there with me when I make it back up top, passin’ a blunt, mad faded, straight ganxta.

We sometimes forget in this vast, dark, infinite, unknown, mysterious and gas-y galaxy of ours, with the blur of perception and reality, and possibility of alternate dimensions et al, that we are the only ones of us that we know of us. As fellow humans, nay, as living organisms rather, should we not love our comrades of planet Earth, including and not limited to aminals, plants, the clouds, the sky, the water, the terrain and especially, Vietnamese pot belly pigs, because I want one one day? Is it not in our bestess, most extremely necessary interest to be kind, tender, considerate and caring of this, our extended family tree, the network of the alive things?

Because if we don’t, very violent and malicious aliens can come down and kill us so easily, you don’t even know, because they probably, most likely, pretty sure, so I’ve heard, have these super efficient brain capacities and are good at stuff that we’re not good at yet, if you believe in evolution. Stuff we’ll never be good at, if you don’t. And if not extraterrestrials, technology. Man becomes machine. Machine becomes man.

In conclusion, does this question have to be rhetorical? (The question was: Is it not in our bestess, most extremely necessary interest to be kind, tender, considerate and caring of this, our extended family tree, the network of the alive things?)

Does that have to be rhetorical?
