Have you heard of this guy Borges' story "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" all the cool people admire? It's like "Politics and the English Language" meets Pokemon Go!

Pokemon, _______, Oculus Rift

Google Glass doesn't fit phonically, which means history has exactly one event left.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Uber tempts but is a somewhat different development.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Well, so is Oculus Rift.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

But the two phenomena will of course dovetail so people can get their Fitbit steps in.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

And maybe Uber will get everyone home after they're sufficiently lost.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

And a lottery system will be put in place to determine who has to drive.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Till the Teslabots take over.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

You'd think the world unreal too if your parents named you Elon Musk.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Though if this is all a program perhaps it's an Augmented Reality one.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Meaning it is possible that only the Pokemon are real.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Making flooding the entire world with them the logical mission of our race.

There's a hron in my urn.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Though its lines sure are pure.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

I choose them to fight Thomas Browne's.

Two enter the hexagon. Only three leave.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

I'm ruining my comments posted to comments received ratio and will now seem needy.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Unless these count as both, in which case I'm just diluting my status as introvert or extravert, whichever it is.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Though as I'm talking to myself on a dead internet platform maybe not all that extra-.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

I CHOOSE ME!

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

I'm imagining my exact self in my own place, entailing that that imagined self do the exact same thing.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

If I do enough of these maybe I can flood the program with my images.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Till nothing else exists.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

And then I guess I'll have to make my copies fight just to have something to do.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

I hope they respect my seniority.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Though I'm told twenty-ninth hronir have more seniority than their originals.

[grashupfer.livejournal.com]

I think about this every day.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Just tell the Facebook people you saw pokemonkeys up in here.

[jones-casey.livejournal.com]

i was waiting to chime in until there were already 46 comments, but now i'm not certain there ever will be.

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

Where there's boredom there's hope.

[tdaschel.livejournal.com]

have read the Borges story, but have forgotten it. my, eh, conceptual framework for this whole "Pokemon and/or Active Shooter in the stairwell. Proceed with Caution" phenom comes by way of the Wm Gibson technothriller SPOOK COUNTRY, 'cept without the virtual River Phoenix expiring on a Los Angeles sidewalk ..

We may live in interesting times.
