Thanks to Elephant Bitterhead for saying, "I LOVE these lists. They are poetic, profound, funny, sad, everything at once. They remind of tarot or the I Ching. Whatever you need, it's in there somewhere."
The only solution is to:
- sprout a pair of wings
- phase out the signal
- make the bucket bigger
- turn the machine off and leave it alone
- sedate them
- involve the community
- be disconnected and re-dial
- destroy the system and start all over again
- lighten the load
- make your home appear to be untenanted
- replace the damaged piece
- overthrow it and then poof...that's it
- abandon the dogmatic idea
- re-write the subroutine with higher precision
- grin and bear it
- prove them wrong
- drop the notion of total divine inspiration
- invent something different
- make the best of the material at hand
- limit the amount of information available
- accept the defeat and wait quietly for the positive forces to lead you
- reboot the system
- stop talking altogether and uses sign language
- do a backup for yourself
- travel off somewhere away from everyone
