slaying moloch

• an intent
  • #pull I often say that I want to slay moloch, but I mean it with loving kindness -- if they don't resist or turn violent, I'd rather disentangle them.
  • despite the gruesome picture it may evoke, it is actually about building bridges -- a constructive path to disentangling moloch
  • recently reread meditations on moloch
    • it left an impression on me, but I was unsure about how representative the impression I currently have of it, mutated by time and experience, matched what's there
    • I couldn't say comfortably I knew it unless I reread it, and making Moloch a part of the Flancia narrative would be irresponsible without revisiting this source.
    • It holds up quite well, actually. See node.
  • some days I feel like slaying moloch
    • might trigger cringe
    • I mean to write a proper essay
    • I hope to write a draft of it in 2021
