Would have been fabulous to see Jessica Chastain at the helm of this play

That's the chaosphere. It means when you want to tap into the powers of the universe and shake off human limitations you have to stop worrying about being nice. You have to embrace chaos and darkness. You have to be willing to perform monstrous acts.

We need stories. As a culture. It's what we live for. These are dark times. Stories are a little bit of light that we can cup in our palms like votive candles to show us the way out of the forest.
The stories we create teach people what it's like to be someone else on a visceral level. As storytellers we know how to shift perspective and inhabit different viewpoints.

But the whole thing where we have to make up some fictional world or some fictional series of events or narrative concepts would be over.And if you wanted to do something new it would just be coming up with a new um algorithm.A new sequence.Which is really what it is anyway.We all pretend there's something mage about it but actually
it's just algorithms

SANDY
If you think about the greatest thinkers in world history

"Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don't belong. You will always find it because you've made that your mission... True belonging and self worth are not goods, we don't negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. Our call to courage to to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you."
