In this age of social media, we fall into bad faith believing that having someone in our social media network will let us keep the friendship forever, but then we forget about the actual contacts in real life; in this age of efficiency-first, we quicken our pace in everyday life and ignore beautiful moments, stubbornly insisting that life is about time-saving and money-making; in this age of meritocracy, we implicitly discriminate against those who appear to achieve less than us, as we falsely believe that their low accomplishment is due to the lack of efficiency and of hard work.
...... May we think of a way to take a leap out of this false consciousness, even just for a subtle moment? |
Some friendly extraterritorial creatures.

The answer is yes, and it is
MewMewismmme
(N.B., triple m’s plus an e; pronunciation: mew·mew·is·me | \ˈmyü-myü-iz-ˌmī\)
Figure 1. This is a MewMew (plural: MewMew).
MewMewismmme is based on pantheism and animism. Followers of MewMewismmme are called “Friends,” who believe in the existence of MewMew (plural: MewMew), a bouncy, chubby, happy creature made of marmalade-filled marshmallow in the shape of an orange kitten, with a flower parasitizing its mochi-cake brain and growing out of its head (Fig. 1).
MewMew can resize and replicate themselves. The omnipresent MewMew always float in the air and keep bouncing around, enjoying every moment of their existence. By acknowledging the being of MewMew, Friends also practice 8-hour sleep with a 10-hour recommendation, stay hydrated, eat whole-grain bread, slow down their pace to observe seasonal changes in nature. Meanwhile, it is okay if Friends do not necessarily follow the practices, because MewMew says it’s okay and take it easy. |
