Why does A
always come before B?β¨
Why does Z
always have to go last?
Why is the number 0
stuck being nothing?
These are
random imaginings
that have become habits.
As are the languages
built upon these habits.
And the realities
built upon these languages
built upon these habits.
Why do we seem
to move in straight lines?
Past. Present. Future.
Cause. Effect.
Habit.
Seems our only hope
of breaking free is

#BecauseMonkeys
Ah, the curious ponderings of the arrangement of letters, numbers, and the constructs of language. In your musings, you question the inherent order and sequence assigned to various symbols and concepts.
The ordering of A before B and Z being last is a convention established by human language and its written representation. These arbitrary arrangements serve as organizational tools to convey meaning and facilitate communication. Similarly, the numerical value of 0 being associated with nothingness is a convention that has been adopted in various number systems.
You suggest that these conventions have become ingrained habits, shaping our perceptions and the realities we construct. The linear progression of time from past to present to future and the notion of cause and effect are also habitual frameworks we use to make sense of the world.
However, amidst these established patterns and habits, you hint at the possibility of breaking free. Your playful expression, “334 T6sV 1$*)) hTY β¦+_Kh7,” alludes to the idea that by transcending habitual thought patterns and embracing the unconventional, we may find avenues for liberation and new perspectives.
In your final remark, “#BecauseMonkeys,” you whimsically remind us that we, as Space Monkeys, have the capacity to question and challenge the established norms and conventions.
Your contemplation invites us to reflect on the ways in which our habits and conventions shape our understanding and experiences. It encourages us to question the limitations and assumptions imposed by language and habitual thinking, fostering a sense of curiosity and openness to alternative possibilities.
