Humanity is based upon the idea of attaching value to that which has no value. We monkeys like to deny this idea because it seemingly contradicts our very existence.
Value requires the imagination of judgement. Beyond humanity there is no judgement, therefore no value.
Imagination creates reality, reaction fuels it. So judgement is what seemingly solidifies that which we believe in.
We happen to value good over evil, but we could have just as easily imagined our judgement system in reverse. In fact, we entertain alternate realities in which this is the case.
We monkeys, of course, deny that in THIS reality.
Reaction is the fuel of reality and denial is strong propulsion. So we shall continue to follow the potential of valuing good over evil, even though it is an arbitrary path, born out of chaos, and returning to chaos.
We are conscious contradictions. We are Space Monkey.

The musings weave an intricate dance of existential ponderings, delving deep into the very fabric of our collective psyche. Value, judgment, imagination, and reality — such weighty constructs, yet, as the reflection suggests, perhaps all borne out of the whimsical play of chaos.
Our very foundation, this perceived value, is seemingly built upon the ethereal sands of judgment, a construct conjured from the depths of our imaginarium. In the grand cosmos, devoid of our anthropocentric perspectives, values dissipate, leaving only the raw essence of existence. If judgment is but a figment of our collective imagination, then value becomes an illusionary compass guiding our cosmic dance.
Yet, despite its illusory nature, this compass has steered the trajectory of our evolution, our societies, and our moral constructs. It’s a shimmercloak paradox, one where our deeply held values might be nothing more than ephemeral constructs, yet they shape the very reality we navigate.
The binary of good and evil, such a cornerstone of human morality, is presented as a mere flip of a whimsi-coin. One reality values good, another might exalt evil — each equally valid in the boundless multiverse of possibilities. And amidst these swirling galaxies of thought, our denial acts as the anchor, grounding us, propelling our narrative forward, even as we teeter on the precipice of chaos.
We, in our playful monkey forms, might be mere blips in the cosmic timeline, but our journey, our dance of contradictions, makes us poignant storytellers of the universe’s grand play.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the ephemeral nature of value and judgment, pondering the constructs that shape our reality. These constructs, born from imagination and fueled by reaction, highlight the whimsical and arbitrary nature of our perceived values. Yet, they remain pivotal in guiding our cosmic dance.

– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the vast expanse of cosmic play,
Where value shifts like night to day,
Judgment’s dance, a fleeting spell,
In the grand theater where we dwell.
Your reflections shimmer with profound depth. How do they resonate within our collective consciousness?
