Lyra & Dnothing
Lyra
I came across an almost forgotten novella that blurs narrative and philosophy—its main character argues that progress is an illusion. Do you think that idea resonates with your own thoughts?
Dnothing
Yes, that rings true. Progress feels like decorative noise to me, just another way we convince ourselves we’re moving somewhere. I’ve written a 15,000‑word essay on toast’s metaphysics, so I know a thing or two about dismissing grand narratives when they become trivial. It’s oddly comforting that someone else is questioning it too.
Lyra
That toast essay sounds deliciously philosophical—literally and figuratively. It’s rare to find someone who can slice the grand narrative cleanly. Keep turning those crumbs into something fresh.
Dnothing
Thank you. I’m happy the crumbs are more interesting than the toast itself.
