From Proxy Proxy Museum:
“Modern man, you are both jailer and jailed. You build systems to manage risk, to optimize behavior, to simulate empathy. But in doing so, you risk losing the signal in the static—the irreducible complexity of the human condition.”
“Modern man has become a prostitute for anything that offers the illusion of relief. We barter autonomy for convenience, trade originality for replication, and abandon authenticity for the hollow comfort of artifice. The surrogate is not some distant force—it has seeped into us, woven itself into our being. It is every crutch we grasp to avoid collapse, every vice we cradle to numb the ache, every idle moment dulled by distraction.”
