between the following one situation to respond to. write precisely 298,935,000
words, using no glyphs other than what are contained in whatever your alphabet
or logogram system is. write in black india ink or blood on handcrafted

in the
beginning olafa believed. which meant accepted. then she disbelieved but it
didn’t matter too much because she was young and wasn’t taken seriously. then
olafa was able to suspend disbelief to an extent of functioning in your land.
which meant she worked and was respected sufficiently and had friends or
simulations of friends. then olafa was only able to suspend as a thought
experiment but not as any sort of reality that propelled her body into action.
then the experts in your land proclaimed her depressed or mad or schizoid or borderline
or mentally ill or some or all of the above or more and prodded her with pills and talk but olafa instead of
playing your games pitched the tent of herself more fully in her suspensions
and she did not work according to your measures and she was not respected in
your lands and she was alone. did olafa now believe, believe differently,
believe in her suspensions, disbelieve? would she soon disbelieve in her
suspensions and where would this leave her? what do you know about olafa’s
believing, disbelieving, suspending, pitching, your land, her land? how do you
know this?
