I blame Jeffery Rowland for introducing me to the concept of Machine Elves.

Machine Elves (also known as self transforming machine elves) is a term coined by the writer and philosopher Terence McKenna to describe the entities that he claims one becomes aware of after having taken tryptamine based psychedelic drugs such as DMT. According to McKenna, their constant dance creates the reality as we perceive it. By following their dance, one can stay in contact with the Logos, a subconscious world of spiritual and other information. A close similarity is the Hindu Dance of Shiva.

Although, truth be told, I should have read Terrance McKenna years ago.

I am a reality slacker.

    This does not jibe with the fact that the God of Technology is an insect.
