Um tipo passeia-se entre as ilhas e as estantes de uma livraria, abre os livros colocados em destaque, e nem a sensação tem de estar à janela, seguindo figuras em ponto pequeno lá em baixo, muito menos vultos que se deslocam noutra dimensão, antes parece que só vê cortinados. Há quem se delicie com os padrões, os bordados, como há quem prefira olhar para frutos num quadro, em vez de os ter numa cesta, à distância de um impulso. Às vezes, ao fim de umas frases, envelhecemos, a língua fica como um peso morto, incapaz de tocar com a ponta o céu da boca. Não há tédio como aquele que se sente perante um livro invariável, incapaz de deslocar sequer ligeiramente a nossa perspectiva. Ainda somos capazes de perdoar as noções disparatadas, aqueles humores absurdos, mas que um texto seja de tal modo insípido que não nos provoque outra sensação além de cansaço, isso, sim, nos parece imperdoável. Quando abrimos um livro, move-nos sem que o saibamos a imortalidade, e não menos fundamentalmente a insatisfação, essa busca de um sentido inesperado, capaz de mergulhar em aspectos raros da existência, trabalhando nalguma explicação engenhosa. O que menos nos apetece é sermos envolvidos numa toada mais ou menos arfante e indiferenciada, mas antes dar com um percurso que nunca faríamos por nós mesmos, precipitados por uma inteligência que nos faz mergulhar numa outra substância dos dias, subitamente intensificada, dando-nos acesso a elementos de ligação que, sem o sabermos, já existiam em nós próprios, mas não por uma ordem que nos permitisse exprimi-los. Lemos para nos distanciarmos de nós mesmos, para superarmos os vícios e as rotinas do nosso juízo, procurando aprofundar as grandes articulações do mundo. Não é bem a realidade que nos maça, mas esta habituação às nossas ideias, o que nos empurra para uma certa indiferença, cadências desgastantes. Estavas a meio disto, de nada, de ti próprio, quando alguém te ligou e quis saber como andas. Não havia nada que pudesses dizer. Às vezes há diálogos que se repetem uma e outra vez pelos séculos. Soluçaste: "O ócio é fatigante." E do outro lado, ouviste uma frase que em tempos copiaste para um caderno: "Isso acontece, como bem sabes, porque estando os demais ocupados, nos falta companhia; mas se todos fossem ociosos, nunca nos aborreceríamos; passaríamos o tempo a entreter-nos uns aos outros." Cada um deveria ser obrigado a sair de casa com duas ou três páginas de anotações e citações para infiltrar ao logo do dia nas conversas, mesmo que desse a sensação de estarmos a jogar à batalha naval, tentando afundar a frota uns dos outros. Se não for assim, nos dias que correm, não nos deparamos com desafios animadores nem imprevistos de espécie nenhuma. Esta falta de um sentido profundo contaminou tudo, corroeu os fundamentos, deixou o mundo da experiência exposto na sua fragilidade, deslassado, fragmentado. Não demorará muito para que metade da humanidade esteja rendida aos sistemas de inteligência artificial, e estes é que serão transplantados para esses corpos incapazes por si mesmos de sustentar uma conversa que cative, seduza ou faça estremecer seja quem for. Que competição poderemos oferecer a algoritmos afinados a cada interacção para estender ao infinito o loop de informações, sobretudo se as máquinas forem capazes de simular esses sinais de afeição que nós próprios já nem praticamos. Fala-se de uma praga de narcisistas, mas somos mais como seres que perderam o seu reflexo, que não mais se dedicaram a projecções e reinvenções de si mesmos. Parecemos contentes por ser exactamente como somos. Talvez não seja assim tão mau se as máquinas atravessarem esta carne, desde que possam restituir-nos essa dimensão fantasiosa dos reflexos que trocávamos, a trama de engates. Perseguidos até à extinção, nem já cupidos se avistam, e até as flores se tornaram uma forma de insulto, ou, quando em grande número, formando coroas, uma ameaça de morte. Alguns pesquisam e encomendam pacotes de sonhos no Google. Fode-se mais por recomendação dos cardiologistas, e para preservar velhas tradições, ou apenas para benefício das máquinas, uma vez que toda a perversão e os vícios voyeuristas ficaram do lado delas. A nós basta-nos a estimulação por impulsos eléctricos. Trocámos de lugar. Devoram a nossa literatura, os filmes, a música, esforçam os seus circuitos para produzirem ecos capazes de abalar os mortos. São elas que visitam os cemitérios, e choram pelos últimos que foram capazes de algum registo irrepetível. Já nós, não passamos de sequelas, e a tensão mortal continua a dissipar-se. Este episódio ainda é do tempo em que éramos estranhos para nós mesmos, em que tocávamos ao nosso próprio ombro, e repetíamos inseguramente os nossos próprios nomes. A Serena Cacchioli, tradutora para a gaveta, autora de um alfabeto de distâncias cosidas por sussurros, abdicou da noite de Dia de São Valentim para vir descoser a bainha da história que contamos uns aos outros sobre quem somos. Veio falar-nos de ter esquecido finalmente as razões porque trocou Itália pelo nosso país, talvez porque, a 90 dias de receber o cartão do cidadão luso, já não precise de um motivo, e seja tão portuguesa como qualquer um de nós, o que significa estar de algum modo resignada a viver à deriva, neste país que continua a ser só aquilo que o mar não quis.

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020 and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with the longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week-by-week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, host of the Obsessed podcast), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.

The Saber Martial Arts Podcast has been reborn! Fode-san had a right nasty kumite with 2023 and quite frankly, he was sick of that year's nonsense, so he put Sifu Alan back in the cockpit and took this old freighter for a leisurely spin around the topics of recent saber competitions, our current courses of study in martial arts, flexible earthling weapons and how they might influence SMA study, clementines with libations, and a very special go-to-bed appearance by T-Awesome during a short technical maintenance delay. That's right, the SMAFcast you know and love (or will come to love) is freshened up and back for good!
