Okay... I got hit with the shivers when the point came together at the end. Too much coffee today? Who knows. I think and read about this stuff quite seriously when I'm not burying my head in the sand about it. But this post got me on a spiritual level in a way that a lot of tech writing usually doesn't.
Aside, it's a very beautiful example of text that isn't babbling, rambling as it may be. Although now I wonder about a time when this level of elucidation might be arbitrarily generated in bulk by some ultra finely tuned blob of mathematical functions. Trained on human thoughts, of course. Maybe we're not all that far off.
I became acutely aware at various points while reading this of the powers of silence, listening, slang, poetry, signifying, innuendo, of knowing, of secret languages, of stories, curiosity, of music. Amongst others, these are deep gifts we have, and I take some comfort in remembering them.
My take: I'm fairly confident in saying I think this was written by an actual human.
I'm usually a little bashful about showing my music, but it was kinda uncanny how much I was reminded of an old song:
