one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

I understand that etymologically, it makes perfect sense to pronounce daemon the same as demon because it's the same word. But I'll never stop pronouncing it day- instead of dee-, as if it's a Ferengi captain.
How do you pronounce denut?
I pronounce it like the German word for demon, Dämon [ˈdeːmɔn] 🔊 because daemon is how Germans would write the word in lowercase ASCII.
Is that because you have a daemon in your brain, swapping neurons to force you to pronounce it wrong?
More likely a DaiMon using a thought maker.
I pronounce it da-eh-mon in my head, it sounds more old-timey than "dee-mon".
