The fact that Netflix cancelled the series The OA is a crime against mankind. The executive responsible for the decision should be tried at the ICC in The Hague. There was an incredible foundation set to explore a reality where there are different timelines. I’ve been thinking about the butterfly effect, which according to Google is, “the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.” I’m a huge believer in this idea. One little thing has the potential to change everything. I’m not saying that every flap of a butterfly wing leads to an entirely new reality, but I’m not going to discount the possibility. I do feel each flap does have the potential to shift our reality. The OA does manage to dip its toes into this topic despite only being 2 short seasons. 

I am so profoundly intrigued by the idea of multiple timelines existing at once that the show not moving forward is so disheartening because I just want that reality to exist somewhere, even in a TV series. I feel in my heart that the truths of our reality are more complex than what is universally accepted. I think the true nature of reality is basically unfathomable to me with my current knowledge base. I so badly want to explore this idea, or maybe not just an idea, maybe this truth. I feel like there’s a reason the show explores this topic. I think maybe other people feel it too. Well, I know for a fact at least one person may go somewhere else in their sleep. Sometimes I feel like I go to a different place when I sleep, it feels different than a dream. Maybe I just dream intensely. Maybe unconsciousness is the key to exploring consciousness. 

It’s another one of those days where my thoughts are sporadic and I can’t finish one before wanting to start another. There’s at least one thing I wanted to talk about that I forgot while typing something else. I feel like I should split these thoughts up a little bit. I guess I don’t need to, technically. I can write as much or as little as I desire. I think literacy is important for people. If there’s no written language, there needs to be a lot of music to tell stories to a rhythm. I’m not sure how one would organize a ton of thoughts without being able to write them down. Perhaps these cultures don’t require so many thoughts at once; maybe it requires more focus. I think that was enough for one day! I feel like I could go so much further though…
