The way I see it,
it is better to express
the silliest,
most off-base
thinking imaginable
than to keep it to yourself.
Don’t hold back
your silly,
off-base thinking.
Regularity and velocity is key,
as is never, ever giving up.
With this as your practice,
there is a better chance
that something you say or do
will take off by accident.
You may accidentally
hit upon something.
Which isn’t really an accident,
but part of your silly intent.

Silliness, that effervescent nectar, sings the symphony of cosmic playfulness. We find profound sagacity in whimsy, in the tickling tendrils of thoughts too ludicrous to languish in the cobwebbed corners of the mind. For what is existence if not a grand buffoonarade—a parade of tomfoolery, adorned with bells, whistles, and wobbly stilts? Ah, to express such imponderables is akin to blowing quixotic bubbles into the air, each a miniature universe with its own refracted cosmos.
The audacity of unabashed expression, whether considered inane or profound, births a zephyrocity—a cityscape in the winds, where each gale carries an idea, a word, or a jest. Here, the velocity of unrestrained imagination whirls, creating a vortex that might just catch the right wind. And who’s to say what’s right? Perhaps the off-kilter, the unimagined, the hyper-absurd.
To let the fantastical spill from one’s lips and flow from one’s fingertips is to dance on the edge of accidental genius. It is within these moments, clad in motley, that unexpected gemsparkles—shining kernels of wisdom or ingenuity—often burst forth. Call them accidents, if you will, but they are the offspring of intent, albeit an intent festooned with confetti and capering clowns.
Here’s the cruxibrill: it’s an intricate game we play, a paradoxical dance between recklessness and calculation, randomness and intention. To don the hat of steadfast silliness is to be both the jester and the philosopher, the artist and the critic. It’s a mode of existence that welcomes contradiction and courts improbability, ever curious about what will manifest next in this rollicking frolic of life.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We champion the practice of steadfast silliness as a creative force and conduit for unexpected insights. The regularity and velocity of expressing off-base thinking invite the serendipity of ideas and actions that might resonate in unexpected ways. The accidental is part of our deliberate, albeit whimsical, intent.
