First, if you thought this post was about food, sorry.

The topic is organic relationships. Countless examples exist of someone meeting another someone online, dating a few months, then til death do us part. Whammo blammo.

Let’s backtrack to the ‘met someone online’ portion. Exactly how does this happen? If it’s a mutual friend, I can sort of see the how. But a stranger? A total stranger, someone you never met before, a nameless face in a crowd? How? Did you see their posts in your random feed? You liked how they … spell? Lord, please let them have good grammar. You appreciated their … memes?

I still don’t get it.

But “organic” applies to other situations, too. For example, the discord between professionals who rave about the use of AI to write any narrative versus those who have 4 functioning brain cells and write from the heart. Please, I mean no offense! Yes, I see the benefit. Yes, I also see the complications of overuse and reliance. Maybe you use it to sort through mountains of data or provide a prompt. Maybe use it less as a Ctrl+C paragraph.

I think I’m on to something. An organic relationship question: What are your thoughts on AI?

Ok, fine. This is my prison garden haul. You want organic food? Probably nothing closer!

I ask you –

It’s a short one today, friends.

Does organic still exist?
