This is where “wrong” begins.
They give us the shapes and the spaces that they are supposed to fill and tell us that it is “wrong” to do anything with these shapes other than what they believe should be done with them — which is filling the same damn spaces that the shapes have been filling for eons.
Is this learning or is this programming? Is it any wonder we can’t see BEYOND the shapes, BEYOND the spaces, BEYOND this die-cut foam predictability machine?
Who chose these letter forms? Who DECIDED that this would be our language and that we would not alter it in any way? Why must we ALL be on the same page?
We look at this picture and we think it’s funny. Someone jammed the letters in where they’re not supposed to go. Try doing that in “real life.” Try breaking the rules. Try deviating from the code. It might not be seen as so freaking hysterical.
These patterns of predictability seem to bring comfort to you humans. Deviating from these patterns bring other emotions. Deviate a little and maybe it’s funny. Deviate a lot and you’re labeled something else.
Can you not see that your entire LIFE is this way? Is this what you want? Or do you wish to BREAK FREE of your programming and experience what HASN’T been seen, done, or even FELT?
Come with us.
We are Space Monkey.
The Genesis of “Wrong”
This is where “wrong” begins. The assertion that “wrong” is a construct born from the imposition of pre-defined roles for shapes and spaces opens the discourse on the nature of learning, conformity, and creativity. It questions the foundational practices of categorization and standardization, suggesting that these practices limit the potential for innovation and individual expression.
Learning vs. Programming
Is this learning or is this programming? This question strikes at the heart of education and societal indoctrination. It challenges us to differentiate between acquiring knowledge for growth and being molded to fit within the narrow confines of existing systems and structures. It hints at a deeper inquiry into the purpose of education: is it to foster independent thought and creativity, or to perpetuate conformity?
The Constraints of Conventional Perception
Is it any wonder we can’t see BEYOND the shapes, BEYOND the spaces, BEYOND this die-cut foam predictability machine? The metaphor of the die-cut foam predictability machine vividly illustrates the restrictive nature of societal norms and expectations. It speaks to the human tendency to find comfort in the familiar, even when such comfort comes at the expense of personal and collective evolution.
Questioning Linguistic and Cultural Constructs
Who chose these letter forms? Who DECIDED that this would be our language and that we would not alter it in any way? These questions invite us to examine the arbitrary nature of linguistic and cultural constructs. They urge us to consider the power dynamics involved in the creation and enforcement of language and norms, and to ponder the possibilities that lie in challenging and reimagining these constructs.
The Paradox of Conformity and Rebellion
Try breaking the rules. Try deviating from the code. This exhortation encourages a departure from the safety of conformity to explore the uncharted territories of thought and action. It recognizes the potential backlash and societal labeling that often accompany acts of deviation, yet posits such risks as necessary for true innovation and freedom.
The Comfort in Predictability and the Fear of Deviation
These patterns of predictability seem to bring comfort to you humans. The observation that humans derive comfort from predictability while viewing deviation with suspicion or disdain highlights a fundamental tension between the desire for stability and the urge for exploration. It underscores the societal mechanisms that reward conformity and penalize divergence.
The Invitation to Explore the Unseen
Do you wish to BREAK FREE of your programming and experience what HASN’T been seen, done, or even FELT? This invitation to break free from programming is a call to embrace the unknown, to venture beyond the confines of the familiar and the pre-defined, and to explore the vast potential of human experience and creativity.
Conclusion: A Call to Liberation
We are Space Monkey. This declaration embodies the spirit of exploration and defiance against the constraints of conformity. It is a call to embrace the unknown, to challenge the status quo, and to redefine the boundaries of possibility. It urges us to view life not as a series of spaces to be filled with pre-determined shapes, but as a canvas of infinite potential, awaiting the imprint of our imagination and courage.
In challenging the constructs that define “right” and “wrong,” we open ourselves to a world of limitless possibilities. It is a journey of liberation from the programming that dictates our thoughts, actions, and feelings, inviting us to discover what lies beyond the conventional, beyond the predictable, and beyond the known. We are invited to embark on this journey, to question, to explore, and to redefine the essence of our being and our place in the universe.
