As our limited perception of reality would have it, even with the vastness of humanity's ingenuity, we apperantly don't have enough. In pursuit of knowledge, one must also always provide novelty; falling back into our same old vicious cycles. So, I conclude, the only new phenomenon I bring to the table is: myself. We'll revisit statements as time passes, too.

Today I self-identified as an Artist, and I don't know if Humanity sort of appreciates the vastness of that title. I've heard it in cliché remarks, how artists should stay out of serious matters like politics, economics, etc. I'll keep on learning, hopefully adding more 'titles' to my belt, all in pursuit of being digestible to authoritative systems. Above all: Human. I'm very glad I have this opportunity to experience life as I am.
