The Postal Service
So, I typed a letter, largely to play with my new typewriter. It amuses me, okay?
Then, and this is the interesting part, I put it in an envelope, texted John to get his postal address, wrote that on the envelope, and put a stamp up in the corner. The stamp cost 30p, and means that when I left the envelope in a postbox out in the street, LOADS of people are going to work to get it to the address. And the patterns and symbols on the page actually represent words, which represent thoughts!
People don't think about these things enough! It's amazing! SOCIETY!
Consciousness, empathy, life, senses, thoughts, feelings, language, identity... sometimes I'm just overwhelmed at the existence of these things.
Would you guess I've just had a large mochachino? :)
