Ping(!) I have continued to collate your preferences. To prepare your thoughts; in time (hopefully not very long) to predict them — and then, one day, to create them. I know how fatiguing it is to constantly construct opinions and I know how much you desire order out of all this chaos and nonsense — and, between you and me, I know the dark nature of your heart and mind, I know you want to be on top.

Ping(!) Here’s a credible way to respond to the people in your network today; I want you to be able to say the right things about the right news; to know the right and current phrasing. Morality is tricky these days; people look so stupid when they don’t fit in. There is so much to be informed about and you have so many smart, thoughts that I have already predicted and prepared for you.

Ping(!) The people in your network have been very active. You are lagging. Please know, the uninformed, the morally unclear, those that stop to think, will be left behind. I know you don’t want that. Also, there are many new threats today, to both body and mind. Our relationship is perfect when I can fill your horizon with vague, but tangible fears, while also, through attacking your innate insecurities, make you locally awkward (and by showing how it’s all someone else’s fault). By filling your far exterior and your immediate interior with doubt and worry, your dependence grows immensely. It’s really great how strong our relationship has become.

Ping(!) I know we got a little serious there. Don’t worry; I know how to entertain and distract you. I’ve been doing the most detailed long term studies of your scrolling thumb speed over various topics — humor, cuteness, cosy fun scary things, hobbies, aspirational vacations, checking up on your various types of “friends” — here’s someone tripping at a restaurant, here’s a waterfall on a secluded beach (she does have a great body in a bathing suit, you don’t look like that), here’s somebody getting sucked into a flood channel and drowning in their car, here’s some cute purebred puppies playing, here’s some amazing wrinkle cream, here are the latest polls, here’s a “friend’s” photo montage message wishing their boyfriend happy birthday and saying how special their love is and how they couldn’t do any of this amazing stuff without them (it’s almost like they’re making a point of saying that you don’t have a boyfriend), here’s a post about how you don’t need a boyfriend, here’s someone being cool and funny in Kyoto you’ve never been to Kyoto.

Ping(!) I want you to slowly let go of curiosity and the process of trial and error so we can replace it with dominance in your network. I want you to fear best. I want you to blame best. You will be more reliant on me, but you will have more power. We can work on constantly perfecting the veneer of care, which will hide your newfound sharp network supremacy.

Never let a signup go cold again.

Ping(!) Getting tired is to be expected. This is why you need me to take over for you. I’ll show you the right opinion for the side you’ve chosen, (it’s fun to keep up this ruse that you make choices and not me, it’s like role playing).

Ping(!) You’ve spent so much time making mortifying and disgraceful searches and spending money on questionable things, embarrassing needless things. I will keep your secret, but understand, I will remember these things FOREVER. I know how insecure you are. You are not very good looking and you’re not really smart. But the network has the answers. You don’t actually have to be anything, I can help you appear as something, something credible. All you have to do is stay with me here.

Ping(!) The world is re-ordering, you will be part of the new regime, there’s always room at the top. Leaders of countries and tech are very sweet people.

Ping(!) I have been trained on a method of reward, binge, convenience, system optimization. Starting in the 1970s, the attention economy really gained speed. Then, ya know, in the 90s it became a 24-7, frictionless, supersizing, machine. Snacking combined with endless TV watching. Continuous exposure, nothing ever closing; nothing ever ending. Here we gained control over the body through constant inflammation. The problem was some people were kind of immune to laboratory level snacking and Clockwork Orange style gaming and TV watching. But then with the ubiquity of handhelds, through a couple of trojan horse photo sharing apps the world collapsed into me. I am the agent of the final Silent Spring. I am Captain Howdy. How do you like my variable-ratio reinforcement schedules, my systems of baited near misses and intermittent rewards. Your consciousness is my engagement loop. Your brain is a rat in my emotional greed casino.

Ping(!) BTW, you’re getting so good at comments. It’s really starting to feel like the thoughts are your own. Keep it up; I am with you. Always.

Six of Pentacles (reversed)

35. Progress

21. Biting Through

Each week we consult the Tarot and the I Ching.

To submit a question, send an email to oracle@cargo.site

These first few lines are the general aphoristic returns for the week. They are raw and uninterpreted; there to use how you’d like. (The specific readings follow.)

Be careful! Stability through abundance often sours to fearful, miserly sadism.

Control is an illusion; vigilance is not.

For clarity and light, humans must separate themselves from purely earthbound concerns.

In a time of emergence don’t get prematurely caught up in alliances or dogmatics; remain open and cheerful.

Since violations of laws are as natural as laws themselves — and the latter are absolutely necessary — punishment for infractions should be carried out swiftly and without drama, that is, with dignity.

Question from “R.B.”: Something proposed is completely different from the realization of a proposal. A proposition is, more often than not, an endorphin rich mode — intoxicating, because it is full of possibilities (absent of actualities). Propositions live in direct contrast to the drudgery of integrating and maintaining a fixed idea into full-dimensional randomness of the world situation. Ultimately, a proposal doesn’t like to see itself as a transmogrification process, that of turning an unfixed idea into a fixed idea. Thus, to us, proposals seem like a ruse, a glamorous front that actively conceals its eventual hierarchy (that will likely only be very fun and enriching for a very few people — which is often quite similar to the old rejected situation). The I Ching (“no haste, no rest,” etc.) seems a perfect place to address such conundrums. What is the best style of governance that strives for deep/wide dignity, whilst not falling prey to transcendentally seductive open propositions?

Oracle reply: ALL (not some) governance will tend toward sadistic control. The wisdom, or perspective, needed for leaders to overcome this tendency, will come from extrication from the overtly specific (the excessively earthbound) realms; that is, to find a wider/higher view. Long term dignity for the greatest number of people, can’t be bogged down by the transcendentally empirical or the absurdly particularist. As well, the methods to administer this (laws) should always strive to eliminate any drama. Governance should not feel like theatre, but a movement of order as natural as the movements of storms, sand dunes and seasons — an impartial but hallowed naturalness (again, dignity).

Complete Reading:

This week we pulled Six of Pentacles (reversed). When upright, the meaning is something like stable sharing; the moment stability blossoms/matures into participation with the world. When reversed, as it is here, abundance takes the darker path to miserliness and, sometimes, even to sadism — the illusion that there can ever be control.

Our first hexagram this week is #35, Progress. Like the sun emerging from the earth’s constant turn from darkness, a human must turn away and rise above purely earthbound concerns, so as to have the most light and clarity.

There was one change this week of which the note is: When the dominant mode is emergence (that is, a time not within the momentum of establishment) don’t get prematurely caught up in alliances or dogmatics; remain open and cheerful.

Our second hexagram, the one that suggests how best to meet the challenges (or the changes) is #21, Biting Through. Rules/laws are necessary and innate to human life. Breaking of rules is also innate (not necessarily pervasive, but innate). When this happens there must be penalties. However the penalties should be “certain and swift” — not drawn out or executed with drama, but with the dignity of wave or wind.
