one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.

Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

Emacs Surrealism Mode (codeberg.org)

I wrote a minor GNU Emacs mode for writing surreal texts, that is, stream of consciousness writing.

Ideal surreal writing happens when:

  1. One does not stop oneself from writing the words that come to one's mind.
  2. One does not deletes or replaces the text in part or in whole.

So this mode is designed to stop oneself from breaking rule number 2 - deleting or replacing already written text. It aims to disable movement, deletion, and replacement commands.

It is also incomplete. Anyone who knows how to complete it, please send patches.

Thank you for creating a tool to produce more unix_surrealism that is not just cartoons of girls killing crt monitors.

If you're reading this - you too are a unix_surrealist.
