Some time ago, a friend mentioned that I should produce more original content. Never one to shy away from stating my thoughts, I went about deciding the proper format. Many were tried, and some of the tests still exist for various platforms. Still, I kept coming back to my original love: the written word. So here it is: Voldania’s original blog, reborn and modernized from its Geocities roots.
This blog will be written with only loose references to what exactly “Voldania” is, but it is worth a brief explanation because it sets to overall philosophy undergirding this experiment.
““Come on, Joe, those are campaign promises. You monkeys know such promises are total bullshit, but you vote for the candidates anyway, which proves how deeply stupid you are as a species.””
We’re all a bunch of decently intelligent monkeys on a fairly average mudball orbiting an otherwise unremarkable star, in a middling arm of a middling galaxy in a middling galactic cluster. For some reason unknowable, these insignificant monkeys have decided to draw lines to set the bounds of various monkeydoms in which particular monkeys hold sway. As, in the scheme of things, that seems senseless and an act of unwarranted hubris, I figured, “why not join in?” After all, the difference between a recognized an unrecognized monkeydom in the exopolitical realm is entirely insignificant.
Still, there’s much to attend to here on this mudball, so why no offer a take centered on a theoretical state which exists where its subjects exist? The Void hates nothing more than a good-natured absurdist ribbing.
