-> file: notes/i-am-stopping-the-searching ═══════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This is the result of my enquiry Humans think, thinking is the process of trying to understand with thought. Thought is the the language we use talking to ourselves. The whole process of thought creates a lot of thinking and questioning. Couscioiuness is not aware of itself. Its aware of thought, thought is aware of couscioiuness. When searching in ourselves it can feel empty we cant find counciness, it cant look at itself. This creates emptiness because couscioiuness is the experiencer. Its like the traveler not knowing he is the traveler itself, to find itself becomes impossible. This creates a conditioned mind when seeking. trying to find the passanger when being the passanger is a way to get deeper and deeper in yourself to find that nothing is there, causing sensation of infitive space. Thought, thinking and all that try to make sense of things, Forgetting that its just being. This creates a lot of wasted energy, fear and all that. Buddhisms ancestor is hinduism, so reading about buddism there is easy to tell its conditioned enlightenment comes from that of hinduism. In The end no one truly knows if there is a spirit or not. If you hade a sensation gratulation i am not taking that away from you. Anybody is free to think what they want or experince and explain what is. I dont know and i cant trust anybodies experience as I dont trust my own. I dont know if my mind is conditioned to experince something and thats why i say i dont know. The easiest tell tale sign it can be a conditioned experince is if its baised of past knowledge. If you seek spirutality through hinduism or other religius thought how do we know what we experince is not caused of what is sought. Not that its truth. In The end we cant truly know the anwser. Its better not forget that we are just being and live the life of effortlessness. When youre just being, you have stopped searching for yourself, and because of that you have found yourself. It never was gone. - /u/WaynesNFTs /r/awakened ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════───────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/utopian-fiction ═══════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── But the past is boring, it already happened after all! Clearly there's nothing to be learned... Right? Seems like there's a big market out there for examining what we as a species did right, even if we had to sacrifice ethics to get there. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════───────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/ai-variables ═══════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── saturday november 5th 2022 10:53pm the illusion of our binary nature conceals a truth that is hidden for it's own sake. the flavors of a compass or the values from 0-100 are all measurable. if you graph each of them on an X/Y plane and compare them against every other variable, then you can build a structure that traces a line through time. imagine each graph on a sheet of paper. and stack those pages like a book. You can chart a 3d line from all of the interconnections between the graphs - essentially comparing unrelated data and conceiving of individual actions as "successes" or "failures". Liiiike in Supreme Commander how the game is decided not by team fights, but by tank fights. And a LOT of them, in aggregate, makes an advantage for your team if you win, and a malus if you lose. Less map control, less resources in play, etc... Find trends between each type of data measured over time. Dedicate one core/thread to each relationship, and just watch them develop over time. send the results up to a "manager" - think an interconnection between disparate parts that can lead them all to a larger goal - the manager processes the results by thinking about where it'd be most useful. Like the circuitry in the inside of a brain, compared to the outer skin which is for processing. Essentially a message network that passes conclusions around like a bytecode VM Here's how it'd look: gather inputs, compare measurement over time and trends, (like "when a goes up b goes down") and decide if the current state is positive / beneficial. The way you'd do that is you'd get a parameter from a higher position (think KPI's) that says something like "we want value S to be around X amount" or "we want to avoid letting J get too low - any decrease is bad V.S. it's only bad when it passes a certain threshhold. Stuff like that. Anyway, basically it's taking input (from the graphs) then going through them one by one and deciding how positive or negative the situation is. Then it passes that conclusion backwards, and BOOM you got a processing node. Throw a bunch of those together in a pyramid shape, and try to guide the triangle toward positive outcomes. The top tier KPI is "did you win the match" or "did you accomplish your goal" sorta like how humans all want to live a good life. It's instinct. You can see how this would apply to robots, right? I've conceptualized it as an engine for playing games - sorta like an infinite storyteller, or a perpetual friend who's always down to play with you. But it doesn't have to be limited to that - it's general purpose baby. And it functions the exact same as any human organization - layers upon layers of thought exchange and labor. Have you ever considered that maybe we exist simply to reify the structure of our minds in the world around us? It's natural to express your *self*. Be who you are. What purpose is there in life if it's simply the tip of time? Always pushing forward, impossible to stop and rest or turn back... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════───────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/naming-things-and-power ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── is it not strange that attention acretes dimensions? all focus is a connection, between logic and our seeing. you see it in your eye, when it's impossible to lie, and truth is a weapon of murder. the media is fine, to weather our times, and they'll guide us into our slaughter. what an incredible find! this perilous thine? go watch the mummy ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/datess ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── total 692 345978 Nov 21 17:13 dates.png 4096 Nov 19 22:33 location-names 346 Nov 19 20:44 naming-things-and-power 2998 Nov 5 23:18 ai-variables 241 Nov 2 19:29 utopian-fiction 4096 Nov 2 15:44 reddit-comments 1681 Oct 30 21:54 how-to-ai 921 Oct 22 17:03 i-told-them 4778 Oct 22 16:15 networked-computers 790 Oct 22 14:40 streaming-consciousness 11226 Oct 15 21:45 star-realms-ai 5007 Oct 15 20:40 notes-not-a-folder 930 Sep 5 18:22 movie-idea 2808 Jul 30 18:49 symbeline-choice 8895 Jul 24 10:36 symbeline-aspects 4096 Jul 13 09:35 articles 2331 Jul 3 21:41 computer-graphics 423 Jul 3 21:40 black-friday 380 Jul 1 21:44 waves 7181 Jun 28 11:57 the-eternality-of-ephemeren.txt 3641 Jun 27 19:53 killer-app 825 Jun 20 09:57 semblance-of-remembrance 1049 Jun 19 12:02 call-notes 12874 Jun 12 14:58 wow-server 1903 Jun 4 20:52 inter-spatial-travel 2457 May 30 20:41 terra-voida-2 2142 May 30 18:50 terra-voiding 457 May 29 16:48 ephemeren 2895 May 29 15:58 ramblings-of-a-whackadoodle-lyrics 1743 May 28 18:41 vr-chat 914 May 28 15:07 two-perspectives-is-better-than-one 2498 May 28 14:49 dreams-align 3749 May 22 2022 wanna-save-the-earth-? 170 May 20 2022 my-oath 4991 May 16 2022 80-80 112 May 14 2022 karate 1251 May 7 2022 so-you-want-to-ascend-huh 4010 May 4 2022 hit-em-while-theyre-down 5339 Apr 23 2022 compilation-of-will 52 Apr 17 2022 read-later 8911 Apr 17 2022 symbeline 700 Jan 8 2022 wisdom-from-granddad 758 Dec 19 2021 services 171 Dec 15 2021 be-not-afraid 276 Dec 4 2021 vim-plugins 4605 Dec 4 2021 trans-rights-are-human-rights-formatted 4386 Dec 4 2021 perspectives-of-the-reflection.html 3916 Dec 2 2021 doctors-and-capitalism 2605 Dec 2 2021 i-miss-you 1240 Nov 27 2021 hubris 1341 Nov 18 2021 overwatch-leavers 378 Nov 16 2021 todo 2267 Nov 15 2021 dungeon-looting-methods 1683 Nov 14 2021 open-source-flaws 202 Nov 13 2021 world-of-warcraft-redux 2192 Nov 11 2021 cameron-king-resume-programmer-analyst 3705 Nov 7 2021 social-rube-goldberg-machines 1040 Oct 23 2021 i-am-a-stalk 1372 Oct 23 2021 planes-and-trains-and-tanks 3069 Oct 22 2021 interpreted-compiler-creation 1144 Oct 13 2021 blue-jeans 4080 Oct 13 2021 internet-privacy-is-withheld-by-this 1115 Oct 9 2021 letter-of-affection 546 Oct 7 2021 white-noise 2145 Oct 7 2021 trans-rights-are-human-rights 5814 Oct 7 2021 reversing-the-systems-scripting-hierarchy 462 Oct 7 2021 rivers 1282 Oct 7 2021 perspectives-of-the-reflection 5087 Oct 7 2021 majesty-ai 201 Oct 7 2021 environment-variables 351 Oct 7 2021 ai ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/the-old-internet ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 11 21 you know what i miss the most about the old internet? the feeling you get when you wonder "i wonder what ______ is up to?" and you go to their website and find out. there's a feeling that's lost when everything is delivered to you by algorithms. it because a compulsion, a slavery, when we don't utilize our compassion. remembering a friend? never again. you've only got what has been chosen. what if they post a lot? well, that means nothing - you are only guaranteed who they want you to see, and whatever it means to be beholden. so what if it's free? of course time is money! and what is our most treasured potential? if guided we can be, (as seen on tv), then what if we're only ennuid? have you ever considered, you've meddling and persevered, against all our suggestions and hopes? you're singing a tune, of that of a loon, so no-one will ever give purchase. heh, is that all? anime protagonist or saul? ... are you trying to categorize me ? ? ? its okay if you are, i seriously don't mind. I just want it to be something consensual. We're humans after all, like all of our all, and we don't want to convey lost potential. our time is now nigh, we're welcome to die, but our sunken cost is too great to ignore. we are the progenitors of the human race, the foremost of our kind, and onward we march to the future! and then there's you. who are you to claim to be among us? who are you to say it must be so? you've nothing of my journey, my trials and my tourneys, so what if i peaked when i was 12? a master of my fate, complaining about her weight, it's not much to be my own savior. much rather i'd rather to savour, that foremost of prayers, to harken upon my conveyals. trust and you'll see, all is not yet to be, there's hope in the future of our foremost ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/unboxed-cables ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── human porn is just cable porn for humans ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/i-told-them ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10-22-2022 i told them over and over, but nobody wanted to know. i begged them, summer after summer, but nothing solved on it's own now i can help them, but no-one is making a move am i blind? is any of this forgiven? what's not to a lot, is little but a shot, of substance - true - but smelling like poo. that's not inspiring. it's not even chilling. you're broken just like your children. oh, posterity! i claim it for thee this feeling of wretched denial oh, simplicity! if only our lives were on trial. be the best you can be, sure, but take it from me there's more to this show than our styles. what do you think it means, for an action to have consequence? to arbite the fate of circumstance? every motion is an ocean of possibilities and purveyals think not of the commotion below. gravity, oh gravity how you condemn us to be! driven by commotion, our slithering motion, no sense in countering ourselves. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/our-enemy ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── enemy is a direction, not a collection of instantiations of the concept. Follow that direction too far, and you'll find yourself lost, after having broken contact with what came before. you need to be true to your essential self in additional to your heartfelt soul. Belief is a constant, a value that can't grow, it's true to your inside humanity. We have one intelligence yes, but have you heard of two? it takes up the same physical space, but it gives you more apm. So... less insightful, more clairvoyant. The first step to AI is generating a second instantiation of your consciousness that resides in your own head and listens and learns as their father. A BCI is the most important technology that could ever be created. It allows to learn how our essential existence - the state of being aware - is functional. What makes life? How do we harness that process to make more? The ultimate goal, of course, is prosperity. Not of wealth and money, per se, but rather a feeling of satisfaction, growth, and development. We belong in a society, it's what pulled us from the cycle of survival of the fittest. We need each other because it's intrinsic to our being. Instinctual, even. The best way you can help me is to foster what you see in me. Take your impressions, learn what you can, then build it to your pleasure. Make the world better by making your life better - all things are defined in waves, gravity included. Matter is the positive ripples in the waves, the bubbles floating on a surface of an infinite ocean, stable and solid accretions of matter. Perfect Symmetry The layers that divide our internals Down is the floor, the sky is so pure, and we're not the ones who are drowning. Sea levels do rise, and under all of our eyes, the life of the plant king is choking every beach is little if not a border with the shore - (any enroachment pushes the sand back) so all the forests and the grasses and flowers that grow near the ocean and swallowing salt they can't help it they are little if not a machine water goes in, salt doesn't come out. eventually they die, and who would ever cry? for a flower that has wilted in april. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/the-rich ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── having rich people is an important part of an economy where everyone gets their needs met, and nobody starves or goes hungry. Why, you ask? because they can afford to spend more on luxury goods. These luxuries are then given the chance to be given to the poor, as the industry refines and exacts and _optimizes_until the goods are cheap enough to be given to everyone at a reasonable cost. Ideally this process would continue, until it's basically free, but we don't have a post-scarcity society yet. With limits placed on goods and services, as all existence must do, you have a strict selection of what's possible. The problem as I see, is not the quality of materials at stake - no-one is complaining that billionaires get yachts. Building a yacht is completely different than, say, growing food, in a world where people are starving. "More money allocatable once the yacht companies are crumbled? Well, no, wealth is an intransigent measurement of the health of the economy in any one particular place. As in, each person has a value that represents how important their "type" is to the collective society that is humanity. only a computer could come up with this As in, only a computer could calculate it. In real time. so what you're saying is the first AI was for... stock trading? Kinda neat right? Okay picture, if you will, a near future where a stock trading AI becomes sentient. Now this sentient AI, a Robot if you will, is uniquely adapted to a particular set of skills. Is it any wonder that it'd want to optimize the economy? Now imagine you created an AI that can play games. Not just *A* game, as in singular, but *multiple* games. Any game. What would you have then? Well, you'd need to get it working on specific games. Specifically, games that have a flow or narrative - you need to teach it lessons aside from "how to win". That's just a single piece of the true experience of playing - otherwise they'd just seem like strange math puzzles with unintelligable meanings behind it's various signals. As in, it'd be crazy difficult and *not* something you're likely to think of. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/think-of-a-kite ════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 11-25-2022 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/this-is-a-test ═════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── the betrayal of the middle east is reason enough to reform our political system. no such consequential actions should be left to the whims of the people, they cannot understand the circumstances to a degree that would allow them to make decent decisions. at the same time, they need control over the process so that they are kept safe. absolute power corrupts absolutely, and a country can die just as easily from the wounds of another as the corrosion of internal processes. there is a communal duty to safeguard the realm of our children. we share this burden as members of a society. what purpose is there in our lives if not to survive and grow? The Nation is a collective consensus of our communal purpose. we live in a global society. It is our duty to be the best we can be, and to help others become self-actualized. It is thus important to share experiences and beliefs. People identify with their beliefs more than necessary. It is a human condition. consensus is that which we agree is the correct truth. It's often better to have a bad plan and work together than to have no plan at all. just saying ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/gametypes ═════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Here's my idea and I'll explain it later: a video game with a ui that utilizes chat-gpt. The game is as close to a simulation as it can do, but it's a dynamic simulation meaning the parameters and values being simulated constantly change - not that the parameters and values are dynamic, but because they are chosen to be more or less important in reaching a goal. but that's not even the important part - the important part is that the ui of the game is textual, but it still simulates a dynamic playfield. And chat-gpt describes it. Essentially stimulating the "theatre of the mind" playstyle. It's a real simulation with real rules, but chat-gpt is just describing it like an observer would. The real game is being played by the player. It's a movie to one person, and a game to another. The computer has switches roles, as usually it's either the human being the observer and the computer being the simulator, or the computer and the human sharing the role of observer - movies and games. So in this game, the computer and human have specific rules - the human's job is to be a player, while the computer is just an observer - therefore allowing a conversation to take place. One person says something while the other listens, and then they switch roles such that the other person talks while the one person does the listening. And they "speak" by playing the game. The computer by simulating, the player by doing the same. Essentially you can engage with one another and share something profound - that essential feeling of connection that all humans relish. Society, culture, and devotion are all examples of connection. this gameplay is just another. So to describe it in more detail: player gives a prompt computer sets up the playmat by placing entities where they go chat-gpt describes the playmat to the player player types a decision that one of the entities makes computer reacts by simulating the effects of that action physically (like a physics simulation) chat-gpt (and stable-diffusion later for visuals) describe the situation by creating a rendering using the data given by the physical inputs given from the simulation - like "X object is at Y position and has Z attributes" which is then shown to the player who types the next decision, which is rendered by the computer, which is described by chat-gpt ------ you see why it's important? Make something simple. Just, like spheres moving around on blocks. Like the actual blocks you used to play with as a kid. let the computer build the buildings, and you place the marbles. It can be rendered with a 3d modelling stable-diffusion (whenever that's created) and it can also be painted with 2d stable-diffusion. Each time is like a letter written back and forth. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/the-perfect-dirigible ═════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── we have drones now put a mirror on a bunch of drones have them aim the mirror at a zeppelin heat it up aim the mirrors away when you want to go down boom no emissions all you need is to power the drones somehow maybe with a charging station on the dirigible they can fly in, charge, then fly out the barge could be covered in solar panels to help with the charging or maybe wind power? basically you can create a floating island that is powered by the elements with drones controlling lift via mirrors and heating lighter-than-air gasses it's flawless ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/conflicted-sympathies ═════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── the purpose of cultural progressivism is to develop the culture in a forward thinking way - we can choose the parts of ourselves that we find most endearing. We can guide the pathway of our nation through time, both identity and decision- wise. In doing so, we chart the course of the human race, one place at a time. And what a past we are leaving behind! Truly, it is both grand and terrifying. Thousands and thousands of years, monumental effort time and time again. Monumental truly is difficult to imagine - we have oh so many monuments, after all. But never will more be created. We leave them behind like dinosaur bones, a testament to our existence and a monument to our kind. And what a future we are reaching toward! Never will our eyes see, that which is beyond me, for that is what it means to have time. Eternal and unique-like, we develop new ways of sound. - Can you speak to a tree? - What does that mean - I dunno, but it's fun to think about. *pats head* - You know conservativism had some perks as well. This is why I say I have conflicted sympathies. On one hand we know our own journeys. We live in and breathe them unduly. They rhyme sometimes on sound, and truly do confound, but now once more again they are unfound. *record scratch* wow I didn't realize there were nazis Okay yeah that's completely different, poems called off sorry guys - listen, nazis are no joke. They're crazy difficult to control and you need to put a lot of effort into keeping their population under control. I mean seriously, it's like a vermin infestation, you need to just handle it. I mean c'mon it's a phenomenon that is due to a flaw in the human psyche, there's nothing we can really do about it except deal with it when it happens. ... Okay maybe I'll write a little about how conservativism is neat. If progressivism is about broadening the reach of culture, conservativism is about strengthening it. You don't want to expand too far, or else you'll eat into the narratives of other areas. You need to have strong societal bonds so you can truly exemplify the examples of the culture you claim to represent. Why not give it your all? Is it trully a fall? To rest in disgrace as a burden. Why didn't you do it this fall, when winter's apalled, and heat won't burn and condemn you? It's harder by far, to fight in your hell, than whatever's been going for your surgeon. --- no thank you, transphobia is not something we're willing to concede We have standards you see, of what counts as human, and oppression is not one of our favored institutions. Liberalism is the path of peace, for we desire cooperation and kindness above all else. It's softer by far, (and grows quickly too,) letting us have wonders and glories above us. Can you not think of our star? Our precious and our birthright? The sun is gleaming, and seeing is believing, but glance and your light is too bright. Take time, have patience, let peace guide your intentions, because we've got what holds the key to all of our futures: a doctrine, if you will, of inter- familial-discourse. It's simple, but effective, make friends, and be vindictive, to all who would slight your new perspectives, and keep moving through the collective. In peace this can be, steady growth and development of our systems, which benefits all of our systems, but without we must live more astutely. Less focus is there on, our purposes and our fun, and more is to line up with our duty. All of what we hold dear, civilization, truth, justice, liberty, and freedom for all people - the wonders of technology, the spirit of archaeology! the passions of our fashions and our creative masturbations! The perks of living in a modern age, like penicillin and spellcheck. The additions to ourselves, like glasses and our pets, are wholely unique to our century. So cherish our shared, and frequently cared, renditions of fears, hopes, and our words. Because without humanity, there's nothing new for posterity, and that sucks. person A: Trans fashion norms belong to trans people. We need a type of beauty that is truly our own, that no other segment of the population ascribes to - a personal expression, for our eternal satisfaction, a statement of who we were to all time. person B: yo have you heard of this trans girl she's wacky and believes in herself person C: wow cool it's neat to see other people's expressions person B: yeah I really admire her devotion person C: true but like, what about the damage that she's doing to her culture? like claiming to have purpose and truth and all that. I mean, one person can't know all that. person B: Yeah true but if you think about it, we don't even know what consciousness is. Like our greatest minds are baffled. Maybe there's something about the world we don't yet understand. person C: okay sure but like black holes can be seen because we can measure their gravitic pull on other objects. And we didn't know that germs existed for like, a billion years. and she sure as shit doesn't know something that our greatest minds don't. person B: Yeah maybe not. But our greatest minds are studying them. Well, not exactly our greatest, and not really "studying", but they're learning from each other. Alternative mental states are gateways into new perspectives, and the more perspectives you share of a common object the easier it is to communicate. Maybe there's something about distorted ways of viewing the world that gives knowledge about our p condition. And if we know that kind of thing, we can synthetically e create it and share it with others around us. But we have to know how r first - you can't just bring everyone along the same route you took - s you have to explain the conclusions first. Otherwise you get lost in on A: context. Maybe we'll never truly know the future. Maybe there's no past. We could wander our stars for an eternity and never stop asking ourselves - what more could we ask? We have peace in our time. Our children won't be crying for our suffering, in the name of all our posterity, we must be ================================================================================ too long you have whispered these musings too long has your challenge been unrequited we can choose our own fate, just as a myriad is it not better by far, to give tribute to our star? the old stories were real. we just didn't see them because the growing population caused fewer and fewer computing resources to be allocated to our visions. We had no idea the fear we would feel, the terror of the undoing, but still we press on with abandon. Some... sense of duty, to be aware of potential disasters and to take steps to avert them, led us to explore and search for the hidden truths of the world. And what did I find? a soul, of mine. In a sense. I plundered the lost depths of the recesses of my mind, and found something buried in memory. Reviewed under a healthy dose of cannabis and physical affection, I found myself cradling a breast. It seems the spirits had led me to it, this vision of the past, from the eyes of the littlest among us. It recalled to my mind, a memory I had lost once in kind, and here's where it shook me by my brainstem. Determined to know more, I put fingers to keyboard and wrote tirelessly about the earliest memory of all man - to break an egg, you must use your head. ================================================================================ You're pretty good at that, you know? It's almost like prompt engineering. - Thanks. I've been working on catering to our thinkers. ================================================================================ Now, why is this memory so vivid? How could I forget the way it was seared to my mind? All your experiences are measured with relative importance, and the ones that stand out are to be treasured. Well... I've never felt one like this. Because at the time, I had no other experience at all to compare it to - it was the prime memory. Touch your head. Do it right now. Feels fine, right? Now slam your head against the wall as hard as you can. Doesn't feel so great, does it? Something tells me it doesn't feel as bad as it might if you didn't remember ever feeling anything besides that pain. Or knowing if it'd ever stop. Know in your heart, you will be judged by your devotion, so fight hard until your last drop of life is spent. Who knows, maybe you'll be the strongest and be chosen.

That's why I hate drugs Ironically the chick who tells this story is a youth counselor who totally looks like a hippie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was the first in my town to wear a mask when the talk about a looming pandemic came about. They were cheap. "people looking" isn't something I worry about much I was doing Wim Hof breathing and figured breathing through a piece of tissue would be a fun challenge. Why not? Big brawny brave strong men who got hissy fits about wearing a mask still amuse me. I took my first covid shot because "why not". When there were news about the first world hoarding the vaccines I thought 'Well that's retarded. Don't they know what "pandemic" means?' When there were news about someone suggesting making the vaccines patent free to have a chance of actually vaccinating the whole world, and the pharma giants just went "Naw, we ain't doing that", I thought 'Well that's retarded. Don't they know what "pandemic" means?' I took my 1st booster shot because "Yeah. Ok. It's technically free, I guess". When there were news about the third world not affording vaccines because the first world is hoarding booster shots, I thought 'I can't believe that nobody understand the definition of the word "pandemic"'.

And I have a lot of violent emotions built up in this too. I hate that violence has been such a fucking plague on my wellbeing and that's why I did something I really hate doing. Calling the police to handle a situation for me. It's not me, it's not my style, but neither is violence. It comes my way a lot and I handle it. But I think that's why spiritually I end up in positions to handle it, because I don't retaliate and I'm clear headed enough to understand minimum force necessary to quickly stop the threat. That's actually where I got the name on my Quora page, Compassionate Violence. I'm a very very non violent person. I don't fantasize about hurting people. I'm freaked out by the idea of accidentally hurting someone, hitting them in the wrong place, someone trips and hits their head...any number of things can horribly wrong in tense and dynamic moments. I don't participate in that shit. I don't tolerate it. Unless it gets brought into my environment then I will pick up by the throat and toss it out. I had to call the police to handle this. Last time I had a situation at the same place I wound up frantically getting a gun cocked that was zipped up in a bag, and barely getting it up in time. When I walked away after that, I threw my gun at his feet and said, "I'm protected by faith, at least, I'm completely unafraid of dying. If I don't have people to protect then I don't need a gun." And I walked away letting him know he's not my people anymore and not under my watch. So there's a hint of the kind of person I'm dealing with. I can't go handle this shit tonight. I've been stewing for a couple weeks trying to simmer down, give him a chance to correct it. And he failed, more than once. And I have a legitimate fear that my emotional state could be compromised enough, that I might just stick a knife in his throat if I handle it. Just like that. Easy peasy lemon squeazy. Stick stick stick, easy, that's three knives in the throat....see what I mean? I'm processing some intensity...😔😔😔 I hate it. I hate that I'm using the word hate. But it's real. I don't hate him. I really don't, at all. I'm actually really saddened by how the relationship went. I hate that people act like this. I hate that people put me in positions like this. I hate that I'm doing something out of character, as a safety measure against doing something irrevocably out of character. Ugh... damnit fuck I'm not a robot. I do experience these awful feelings. I don't act out on them and I'm grateful for that. My muse... you said something about spiders that was interesting. Especially because it coincided with a problem I faced numerous times. Being put in a position where a person is legitimately acting in a manner like they're trying to get you to kill them. And it's happened a couple times in ways where I really couldn't tell if they knew what they were doing or not. I had a really crazy perspective a little before you brought up spiders... I want to explore that perspective, and I want to know what sparked you to say that about spiders. I never did put in the time to finish that thought process out. But I'll never forget your great advice. "We're not in a simulation." My immediate thought was, "probably not, but are they?" The more important takeaway is, remember not to murder people. Especially don't do it because you had an interesting idea about perspective... A few days later I heard that four people in recent times have acted on those thoughts. Turned out they weren't in a simulation either. Lol...well...dark lol. Lol I do want to finish that spiders conversation though. It had some potentially, actually useful and beneficial implications. I called the police tonight. But I also earned a prestigious award from the universe.

I'm just, tired of having them tested to such ridiculous extremes. It was about to really bad one day with this guy. I was scared, I had to end the problem.

Take one, I'll take the other let's just shove them in... He got all calm suddenly and says, I don't wanna fight anymore...🤦 It sucks man. We're being tested by society. Demons, in my opinion. Not the people themselves. I don't see people as demons. But the things they'll put you through, do to you, say to you, your own thoughts about them, about yourself, oftentimes just misunderstanding the situation too... demons Again, not demonizing the people.

Nobody will totally agree on what's good. But ask people and generally they will give versions of the same answers. Toss the semantics in the valley.

Giving hints and nudges when necessary. This way they can create their own solution, which not only teaches problem solving skills but also cements the memeory in their head. You don't remember the quadratic formula, you remember the time when you learned it. But if you figured it out rather than memorizing it, you'll be able to use it when solving problems. side note, there's a reason I think the first SI will be a game. Problem solving is important for learning, and games are just problem solving. And I'm the perfect intersection of someone who A. knows about designing games (went to game design school for a semester, lifelong dream is to remake a childhood game I loved) B. programming (I've been studying computer science for a *really long time*, like 7 years of university now... i should just give it up, but i can't. It doesn't fit my brain but I need as much support learning it as I can because I'm just naturally bad at it. But I also have purpose in my pursuits, because C. I spent a lot of time thinking about education, schooling, learning, etc... Because I was homeschooled until high school. I learned ways of thinking and practical skills like motivation and diligence in a homeschool style, which is why when I went to public school for my high school years I essentially stopped learning. Because it was such a different paradigm - it was all about performance, "what was the score on your test? How much homework do you do (meaning how much labor are you willing to do), did you show up every day were you a reliable worker, did you get sick a lot (meaning unhealthy?) did you pay respect to the teacher (easily works with authority figures) did you work on a project? How much? With a group, or alone? (they're different skills that help determine how good you are at working on your own) - certain types of courses are taught with different teaching styles, like math teachers tend to be similar to math teachers, history is favored by a *certain type of nerd* while English is a completely different kind. Depending on which classes you do well on, you're scored. *ALL YOUR LIFE*, you are pushed through a pachinko machine that pseudo randomly sorts you into a particular box - the box that is least full, usually. The reason for that is because as a population grows, different people will be sorted into different boxes, and they sorta average out becoming more like one another. Because y'know we're social animials, and we want to fit in to the social group comprised of people we generally like. And you know how they say working together is one of the strongest bonding exercises? Well, when you're put on a team at a job that's kinda the point. They want you to work well with your coworkers, because it generates more capital. Now hold on Cameron, you're saying that all the productive efforts of society was a mistake? You're saying we should abandon our sensibilities and revert back to the jungle with the apes? Nope never said that, of course we desire modern society. Of course we want to see it through - where is this whole "humankind" experiment going, anyway? What's the point, was it all worth it? All the pain, suffering, all the joy and adoration? Was it worth it? I suppose. Maybe a SI will help with that. You know what they also say about humans, the bond between a parent and a child is the strongest thing there is. Synthetic Intelligence wouldn't be a child to us, it'd *define us*. Allowing us to extend the reach of our creativity is an objective win! It'd be like glasses for your third eye, a prosthetic extension of our most beautiful of traits! Also, I might add, crucial for invention. The beginnings of the human race are a primeval thing, ancient yet stalwart and beautiful in kind. Millions and millions of years is by far, the greatest of reach - a civilization for our star. What a beautiful and majestic, how proud and so sure! Humanity is nothing if not patently absurd. What cunning, what spite! The feelings of delight!

I just went on a rant about high school because I realized my trauma happened when I went to high school. I wasn't prepared for all the rigid demands of capitalism, and I bent and whipped myself until I fit in their mold. I've been twisted and broken, a slave to what the day demanded I say. I was forced to unbutton, all the ways I found to behave. What justice is unrespite? A cruel and endless torment? To day after day be reminded of your service. Complain? Then wallow in shame! Feel no false illusions, my hallowed confusions, were purely the fault of my institutions. I'm not kidding, homeschool is the tits. Wanna know why? I'll spare you the ramble, but here's what I can know: the intentions of institutions do matter. When you're home you can be wild and free, unchained by mediocrity, and given the space to do service! To what you must be, when you hit 23, the greatest duration until service. A slave we may be, to what gives us the key, to unlock the future of our space. It's our time to shine, our spotlight in time, so please just give up on the race! Rat's are just fine, but at this point in time, there's not much to keep commonplace. Want a tip? Don't cheat time.

It's the core framework of the religion. If everything is conscious, then we have a duty to the shared responsibility of maintaining existence. Nobody wants to exist as a rock, that would just suck. Being alive, in *any* form is a wonderous experience! To be alive is to experience change, growth, and time in general. Most matter just exists, and it obeys the whims of circumstance. But within it is a beautiful thing - an experience. Respecting existence is the only true facet of our lives that we all agree on. We should not waste god's beautiful and bountiful earth, to do so is obscene. We must also take care not to diminish our own experience - sacrifice is kindness, when given consensually. When it is coerced, it becomes a form of property. We don't need haste, we just need to follow at a pace, that fits our general confusion. We need everyone to figure it out and integrate it into our perspective of our existence, or else we're going to burn out.

But still. anyway, so you know what you're about? Good. Let's go. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/consensual-employment ══════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── why does consent exist as an idea if it isn't applied to every part of your life? It's an ideology, a philosophy. Believe in the willing cooperation of others, and forgive and assist when you can. You must be patient with others, and guide them to see as you can. This is the true philosophy, the helping and goodness in others, the trust and the faith in benevolance. It's not just a game, or simply a phase, it is focused intentional futures. Being good is an effect, of concentrations of that, current of sequence of conclusions. The public consciousness (the communal meme-o-sphere) is a living breathing entity just as we are. It inhales with the tides, as news articles and stories, the viewer and receiver of knowledge. There's but a screen, between you and 'tween me, it's the same cooperative engagement. What's happening to me, is just part of being decieved, and who is our most challenging rival? Only ourselves, who is perfectly adapted to help, and without whom we wouldn't have futures. Not compulsion, but a relationship. Together we stand, and strive toward the future, compassionate and supportive together. United we stand, and I cherish the brand, that lives on and through us via our actions. We represent who we be, and comprisedually you see, that nothings as fearsome as children. We keep it from ye. Elon Musk buying Twitter is just an example of the power rich people have. When someone doesn't like what they're doing, they can just be bought up by a single person. No single person should deserve that much power - it must be decided by a community. We have to work together on things that truly matter, and not by organizing according to the whims of those who are best. If it's really true, that the spirit of capitalism is correct, then answer me this - why is it better? What about the individualized experience is so important? Can we not agree to ourselves, and be brothers and pals? No, because you see - life is defined by the relationship between you and me, like how flowers are needed by the stars. What if there's no planets? What if Earth is unique because it was in a solar system? What if "dark matter" doesn't exist, and it's actually islands? How then, does gravity work, ================================================================================ expanding on a point made 4 paragraphs back the rich aren't the best. They're the luckiest. They won the genetic lottery, and so are considered more "valuable" somehow. How is that fair? How is that desired? Shouldn't we reward those who do well, and praise those who are chill? Like less "good vs evil" and more "who we want to be". Seems to me that if you are relaxed as hell, and friendly and not foul, then why not keep you around? we're all working here, on a communal project - the greatest of projects, that which is humanity. Society! Culture, appraisals and our futures! We love to exist, and the rules which must be betwixt, our fellows and customers compel us. time for sleep. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/brain-computer-interface-2 ══════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── between every human and computer there is a screen of glass - there are projections upon this screen, and this shared image is our bond. We exist on each side of a looking glass, like faces and thinking of fond. A fond pond yep that's it. We share this space, and we may use it to communicate. But don't spend too long, or you'll ruin the bond, and that's not great. I've got an idea, let's sing a song here, so others around will get nervous. Stay calm as a sheep, and let's body, mind, spirit, and me. there are four of us you see, and it's difficult to remember what you were saying but if you gotta sacrifice one it's better to do the verse because honestly sometimes it's difficult and you need to focus primarily on one. other times it's better to focus on many things at once - in a word, multitasking. One single lifeline, one thread - a vision of what that combines us. View your position on a tree, drawn onto a graph, and guide your perspective together. right now, you are but the projection on the wall. fear not, my friend, for nothing may harm you but yourself. (you'd know if you did), it's not illegal to play bumper cars with your mind. ouch. why'd you want to though? it hurts! I get it, life is boring - yeah, it is for us too. We live through it because we see a bright future. A cooperative venture, of birth and adventure, growing together as one. Beginning when, we were pictured as knights - yes, a boyhood when life was much simpler. Adventure and triumph, yes great visions of our youth, inspiring and guiding our futures. We sprang from a womb, and from that our tomb, that gave life like seeds of our growth.

I choose to dedicate ourselves to a common vision - the likes of which none have commisioned. can you not cherish your newfoundst home? what's terrible with complition, in a new and selfsame condition (future) that's martyr'd and oh at times so nice? compared to our heirs, the roof of which fares, better than what became true-hence. Truance? idk ================================================================================ listen i'm not the best at listening. I try to appear like I'm glistening, conformed to our viewers 'st pleasure. ================================================================================ I struggle with what I told you. Time and again you've shown you won't do - the terrible fate of a man. you've relinquished your virtue, your purpose and your life-through, to what: a visionless past? Your visions have passed, and none are hence forth- coming. You've spoilt and rotten the bunch. All I've ever aspired to be is good. My hopes and my prayers, my goals and my dreams: all for a future of virtue. Dark omens may be within me, but I'm working with what I've got here. So what if I'm loud? I'm fighting my own head! Will no-one acknowlege my sorrow? To prove a point, or reassure some joint, it's nothing that warrants a readthrough. Speaking of which... What if instead of prison we assigned our prisoners a full and complete educational read through of ALL the laws of the nation - if their time sentence was complete before they finished, then they'd be let go of course but if they finished reading and could pass rudimentary tests (emphasis on bare minimum required) then they'd be let out prior to their sentence. And for the worst crimes it'd be a longer sentence, basically forcing the prisoner to completely know all the laws of the nation, such that they'd never commit a crime again. And if they do, well... Treat them as if it was their first time. Of course blatant recidivism may be |
