My fellow retards,
Stories have been spun and woven so thoroughly throughout our reality, that people often forget history is but a few highlighted threads in the fabric of what was. That fabric of time repeats and resonates. We believe we are living in the present, but the present’s just a pleasant interruption to the past. The past seems to replay, slight reverb, but the notes are the same.
A certain Nakatomi Plaza thief suggested the following as the greatest cover of all time:
[Verse 1]
"There must be some way out of here"
Said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth"
[Verse 2]
"No reason to get excited"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late"
[Verse 3]
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside, in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl
Hey may be right. Though what is being covered? He likely believes Hendrix covers Dylan. But what does Dylan cover?
Isaiah 21:5-9:
5: Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6: For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7: And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8: And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9: And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
The characters change, but the story remains. Everything is retold, re-spun as if this is some new happening, something we’ve never seen before.
That’s rarely the truth. Health gurus talk about the “newest trends” which are nearly always repackaged norms from cavitation’s past. Progressives talk about proliferation of trannies, though that ship started sailing during the Weimer republic. Technologists talk about the interconnection of mankind, but trade routes connected civilization long before radio waves were discovered. Scales change, zeitgeist changes, the names we focus on change, but these events have nearly always already happened in one shape or another.
Phonon is new and special, but really it’s akin to a much older theme. It’s closer to bringing back the barter system that dominated human history than it is akin to the fiat system we’ve grown accustomed to over the past century. Since any asset can be phononized and traded/swapped on the protocol, you don’t need a base fiat. Everything can go back to peer to peer transactions. Two individuals have a meeting of the minds and agree to enter into an irreversible transaction. This is a story as old as time. Phonon brings us to our roots again.
