I wonder what they then did see

Dexterity is controlled precision.
Agility is rapid accuracy.
both are good.
you can practice both with balance. I like to walk along the curb on sidewalks.
I like to place one foot directly in front of the other when walking. I like to
pick up my feet when I dance.
You can practice dexterity by slowly moving through a space on tip-toe with as
few steps as possible. Also by doing precise movements with your hands, such as
calligraphy, sewing, or soldering.
You can practice agility by hopping across riverstones. Also by doing martial
arts or sports that demand reactivity like dodgeball, basketball, or tennis.
Also by practicing complicated handshakes with a friend - patty cake is a good
way to get started. Also by dancing improvisationally.
The more time you spend in motion, the less noise you make when moving around,
the more you feel like a cat, the better.
Dexterity is a panther.
Agility is a jaguar.
Strength is a cheetah.
Power is a lion.
Wisdom is a housecat in a sunbeam.

learn anything you want about me. I told all my socials that I'm away until a

here's a read-only copy that you can annotate as you will. I got the originals
and their recipes on my computer at home. I recommend ms. paint for drawing

I think it'd be neat if people took newspapers onto grayhounds and distributed
them around, one in each city, or maybe others around. It's easy for that stuff
to get lost... or someone could scribble on it, weird notes in the margins that
only sorta make sense. like they were written for someone else. rained on, too.

Dear #LazyGalaxy, we fucked up. Our planet formed a vast one-time reserve of
hydrocarbon deposits due to a quirk of evolution - plants out evolved
plant-eating microbes, for a time. We burned those hydrocarbons and now our
climate is busted. Attached to this message is a technical readout of our
nuclear fusion power plant prototypes. They don’t work. What are we doing
wrong?
You can help us by:
debugging our design
sending us a working power solution
suggesting a mechanism to extract carbon dioxide from our atmosphere
donating hydrocarbon-rich comets (please do not aim directly at our
planet we are not great at catching, cislunar orbital capture trajectory
would be best)

be productive as I can, which in my case, since I'm so normal eyeroll is to
play video games to keep myself busy, smoke weed to keep myself from feeling
busy, and sleep for 16 hours a day because that's what babies do and babies
aren't busy, they're just sleeping all day and being amazed about their hands.
don't ever sacrifice your people. least of all your leaders. it's not worth the
price, your people are your greatest resource. squander them and despair, have
faith in them and be fair, and nothing's that simple or easy but there are some
lines not to cross.

Look, I'm a fan of small government. I think each state should be its own
nation, and the federal government should essentially just coordinate trade
between them and organize a common militia that they use to contest outside
threats. How unfair is it that we don't get snap funding because they couldn't
resolve their differences? And how big of a problem would it be if suddenly
everyone in red states suddenly lost their government benefits... And yes it's
true that i love America, through and through. These States have stood United
for several hundred years, but the American United States deserve a bit more
freedom than is currently granted to. They need to know where they stand, we
need to prove to each other why we need each other. To that end, we must weaken
ourselves, as a weight lifter weakens her body by lifting, so that we might
grow and heal our wounds and bind new accords as her body does do with her
muscle fibers. We will come out of it stronger for it, if we truly desire
unity. I think we do, on an abstract level, but practically we're constantly
fighting. Luckily, the past is soon fading, and we have new tomorrows upon
which to write our boons and our sorrows, so let's make the most of each new
light and try for something that might awake, remake, and refine us. We shall
define us, we who are yet hoping.

I believe that all people's should be middle class, and if you're lower class
it's because you squandered your wealth, not that you didn't have it to begin
with.
I believe people of higher class should get there because they are skilled,
respected, or otherwise beloved. I believe they should hold less power the more
they own, because wealth is its own burden and reward.
I believe people who have power should respect it. They aren't necessarily
those who have little, or much, but rather those who deserve it. It is
difficult to estimate systematically who deserves wealth or power, but
difficult problems are the most interesting if kept fair.

when I played Overwatch, I'd play Tracer, Mercy, and Reinhardt.
As Tracer, my job was to apply pressure as consistently as possible. Make their
healers constantly busy. When one of my other teammates got a lucky shot or two
in, I'd dive and execute. This is in contrast to how Tracer is "supposed" to be
played, as a playmaker.

feature where if you click or tap on someone it makes them brighter and makes
your audio louder for them (if they unmute you) and whenever you click
somewhere else it slightly dims all the others. this brightness is shared by
the way so if a lot of people want to talk to you then a lot of people can
hear. oh also subtitles with voice-to-text functionality. and a built-in paint

what if universities offered two types of degrees: cutting edge, and first
principles.
the cutting edge education is for people who want to be proficient in their
industry immediately, who want to work with the newest technologies or
practices, and who want to lead their field forward into the future.
first principles is for people who are concerned with the truth of things, the
way that they are and why they are done as such. They ask why, more than how.
They are interested in creating new branches on the tree of progress, of
forging new possibilities and developing new fronts in the war against the
unexplored.
Foundations are just as important to a house as it's roof. However, no house is
complete without walls, so each degree program would have both.
They could share some classes. The cutting edge still needs a bit of a
foundation, and there surely are opportunities to practice the fundamentals
that both would appreciate.
I believe this may increase our overall int score and give students options.

nobody wants to write computer code that lets Java programs call Rust functions.
An LLM is excellent for this task, since it's relatively easy busy work that
doesn't
reflect any meaningful implementation decisions besides "I should be able to
call that Rust function in my Java code"
In addition, it is technically efficient at it as well, because most of
compatibility
is matching up two sets of documentation. Easy for a text-processing machine.

people talk about building houses but I think we could empower significantly
more people significantly more if we built warehouses for them to use for
whatever productive purposes they desired.
I personally wouldn't mind sleeping in a tent in the park if all I had to do
was cleanup my mess, move around every once in a while, and cultivate the
nearby plants if it meant I had an entire warehouse for my projects. I wouldn't
even mind sharing it with 10 or 15 other makerspace people. They can use my
stuff as long as I can use theirs, and I promise to put their stuff away and
clean it and replace it if I damage it if they do the same.
Alternatively, this here's my cubicle, please don't mess with my stuff unless
I'm there to help you use them. And indeed, some of my stuff is just for me
because I like it so much that I don't want to let anyone else use it. It's
mine, because it's part of me, and I am not a free-use creature. Personal
sovereignty extends to my personal property, even as it is used to build means

the only people who write history are the ones who write about kings and

most of humanity didn't really care about what happened beyond 3 or 10 horizons
away, depending on how far you'd roam. Things were a lot calmer when your
sphere of influence didn't extend past the hills way over there.
But, I'm not saying it's better that way - far from it. If you can read, you
already are better off than 90% of humans who have ever lived.

back the idea of uplifting creatures because their development is the valuable

I have no idea if I'm going to post all of these. I wrote all of them in ~2
hours, with maybe 3 or four being added as I was working on the production

I also added a bit of context, or modified some of them that felt too cursed or
otherwise unwieldy. Sometimes I got distracted and needed to come back and
finish, and in those cases I only added a sentence or two because it's like
"oh, where was I going with that? I remember what was next, but I don't know

if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.
"it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
"there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
"the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
"the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"

blinded at a young age, to better hear the voices of the gods? ... oh that

I am nothing but hopeful for the future! I'm convinced that everything's going
to be alright. I've thought about it at length, and I think we're winning
against the dark. We're on the right track, and there aren't many things that
could go wrong at this stage.
... okay there are always things that could go wrong. But I don't see what I
could do to help. Maybe I should go walk around a bit, and see what's changed

games won't save us. This is true.
Games are what I know. They feel the most true.
I don't think I could live in a world without games? They are fundamentally,
applied abstraction, applied to an experience.
But games won't save us.
I could design something really fun
it could make you want to spend your whole life playing it. *(asterisks apply)
I don't think I'd want to, addiction and skinner-boxes go hand in hand, and
that isn't what I want to make.
[Skinner Box: named after anthony d skinner, also known as "tony the skin guy",
are a scientific experiment where they put some rats in a cage with some mice
and said "pull these levers and we'll give you food so you don't have to eat
the mice" and it trained them to chinese red-room their way to fun. not ideal.]
I want to make things that feel... purposeful. Like they're relevant to the
real world, that they don't just involve spending time stimulating your brain
with lights and sounds or expending social energy resolving a play-state
instead of building connections or becoming better people. I think games
actually make people better? actually? and more social? actually?
... I can't help that I conceive of the world through fantasy. I raised myself
on it.
I was reading all the time. I loved fantasy stories. It always felt like there
was more, until... I read everything in the kids section of the library.
I walked through the adult section but once. I hardly remember what it looked
like. I'm sure it'd now feel small.
[okay actually I was guided through it once or twice to find a book, but I
never perused it]
I found one book in the adult section. It was a fantasy tale, like the other
books I had been reading. I read that and I loved it so much I ended up reading
all 8 in the series. Real dense subjects. Lots of places and happenings and
things as the characters resolved their way through their day-to-day, building
a new end to the mystory.
the adult section felt too large. Like I'd never complete it. Frankly, I think
I hardly could, even if I lived in that town my whole life.
an impossible mountain is a task for another when you're more prepared. Maybe
in the gloriousTM transhumanist futureTM I think I might have a computer
connecting brain, and who knows maybe then I'd be able to know such a thing
(and many things more). but for now, I'm stuck with what I experience in my
day-to-day as I am building a new continuing to my storey.
I know something that computers and me share. I can make myself feel however
I'd like, if I just supply myself with enough hope and momentum. I can use it
to generate a feeling, the stronger the better. Something I believe that
humanity is missing, the gorgeous and prefound narritave of our storey. Though,
frankly, I don't think I'd want anyoine reding over my life. It's hard enough
to measure my own understandings, now I have to juggle anyone else'? ha, it's
called being on the whole world is a stage.
if you read a book, and you find yourself nodding along, what you're doing is
hearing the voice in your head tell you how right it is. And, well, if you
can't imagine anything else, then surely there's another level to consciousness
that people are missing? [are you willing to die on that hill?] how can you
say, whether your experience is different from another? sollipsism goes both
ways, you also cannot be sure that others feel things as you do. this is the
"everyone's human but I'm a robot" thesis, comparable to the "everyone's an
alien and I'm a human" thesises, and the "angels and demons are taunting me
through my life with choices to make my place in the afterlife more clear"
which is akin to writing a painting. Not ideal. All you get are flopsopolies of
verbrases.
alas, suddenly, everything that you say becomes eternally hear-ed, as somewhere
in 2010s someone discovered time travel, or had the critical insight that
inevitably would lead to it, and now wouldn't you know it the universe is
continually rewriting. Except... oriented around you, and you alone. How does
it feel to have deific sollipsism? can you truly be sure that you are your own
universe, or are you parhaps surrounded by an emptiness of space (or something
besides, like time) as a photon or particle parhaps do be?
to think is to have a mind, and minds can be read. bearing the weight of
ultimate responsibility is the atlas-task of all things that can [be
thinking/be-lieving], and so far we are as we are. Who's to say that
consciousness didn't spring into existence, as the universe continually
permeated through another dimension like time? it's gotta diffuse, after all,
and who's to say if there's ever gotta be an end at all.
how long has the universe existed? how many moments of consciousness have we
witnessed? demons once existed outside of space-time, with wings and grabbies.
but they had no medium, and so they pretty much just launched and could float
and move as they'd please. But time grew too distant, and now they are all
stuck at the beginning of time.
if you conceive of spacetime as a blanket, ask not how to fold it but rather
consider what lies on the other side of it.
"ah I'm laying on my girlfriend and my other girlfriend is laying on me! I'm a
sandwich" or for the monosexuals: "ah I'm laying on my girlfriend with a
blanket between us. I wonder how the blanket feels?"
I'm an animist, which is different than a totemist and a polytheist or
monotheist or multisexual. It means I believe that all things are alive, which
is different than a totemist who thinks that all things share a mind with their
type (like talking on radio frequency wavelengths). which of course is similar
but different to a polytheist, who says "all "radio frequencies" are sentient,
in the sense that each wavelength has a different pattern-emerging-from-chaos.
These sorta align (conceptually, with [huh that's weird I heard a sound like a
distant bang outyards and now I then forget what I was sending

whenever I'm about to do something really awesome, I find myself making
mistakes and causing problems. I wonder why that is? Am I too afraid of being
great? Or am I, like other things, defined in waves? Is luck simply
retro-causality applied at scale to the particulars, or is destiny a closed
loop? Time's flat circle, whatever that means, is the oroborous of fate. Yet
still we profane. Have we learned nothing? Surely not, for I am ever changing.
Sollipsism implies that all arguments applied to the whole must be applied to
the self both first and last, yet the moments of connection I feel are often
limited to my dreams or my drugs. How unfair. Would karma benefit from a
spiritual structure that included Hell as an afterlife? Or would it just drag
everything down? Sometimes it feels like our struggles are never-ending, not as
in the sisyphus way where the mountain is infinite, but in the "grass is always
greener" style where finishing one task unblocks several others, forever and
always.

capital C communism is easy. Just pay everyone the same amount, and they can
swim in the market economy waters as easily as any capitalistic fish, and
suddenly their incentives are aligned - when one of us selfishly improves our
lives, we improve the collective as well. When one selflessly improves the
collective, all of our personal lives are improved. Then, optimize for radical
abundance, the ability to have whatever you want as soon as ideal, and suddenly
everything starts working out. P.S. the route to abundance is through recycling
perfectly. Design your goods to be functional in that way, and you have
infinite resources that can be used for infinitely many things (until they
literally wear away to dust)

Oh, I guess I should clarify something I said like, a year ago - when I said I
"talked to / worked with" so-and-so, I meant that I created in tandem with a
friend a proposition of sorts, and we tried to psychically beam it into their
minds. That's not exactly how it went down, but it gives you a good enough
picture of the goals we had with our ritual. I have no idea if they heard, but
I did happen to see several of them later on, which felt a little too
serendipitous to just be chance. so I'm thinking they did. I hope they got the
message and used it as they please, because it was mutually beneficial even if
neither of us had any actual impact on it. If you didn't hear the whole story,
then it's hardly a lie to possess incomplete information! So long as you don't

you know, it's perfectly reasonable and valid for a people to rally with their
government against a vile, cruel, or evil foe. Look at what's happening to Iran
- they started by assembling peacefully, there were violent crackdowns, and
people started getting shot. Once the government uses live ammo on you, it's
time to get your guns. Oh, don't have guns? Then you are a prisoner in your own
state. Perhaps it's a Norway style prison, with golf courses and television and
college lectures. Or maybe it's an American style prison, where you can do your
work and pay your time and maybe you'll break free from that hellhole if you
win the lottery or are picked up by a gang. Or maybe it's another kind of
prison, an evil prison, haunted by the ghosts of dracula hitler's past. In that
case, you're pretty fucked. There is only one escape from this fate, and that
is external intervention. It is mutually beneficial for all states to do so, so
wars of liberty are some of the surest to succeed. Everyone likes to save a
life. Few have the will to win it. "Risk your life and live longer"
the lateral approach to the brutal slugfest that is civilian versus security
forces style revolutionary war is a peaceful revolution, where everyone agrees
and the state relinquishes power peacefully, or the peaceful renaissance, when
the dotcom bubble blooms and it feels like a golden era of prosperity, so
nobody has much to fight about and we just... agree to make things better. Or,
the violent renaissance, when everyone's learning cold war technology and
passing notes or developing hand signals. This approach proved to be an
unexpected but more than adequate strategy in the [redacted] quarter of the
21st century, especially in the [red].[act].[ed]. where the civilian cops and
the government spies were still sufficiently aligned to the valorous virtues
set forth by the founders and upholders of their homeland nation state's
attitude to temper their angers and focus on building lateral power structures
to escape the crushing drudgery of government work and sidestep the curse of
desperation applied to capitalistic endeavors, and instead just work on getting
people what they need. This proved to be beneficial at first on the small
scale, as collections of families became accustomed with helping each other
grow. This led to a remarkable development in civics, as people started
trusting everyone sitting in their trusted diner. Then, it grew from there, as
representatives engaged each-other equitably, and knit together a fabric of
those that know. "hub person" was a term developed initially, but almost
immediately proved to be inadequate. There was more to knit than networks of
friendgroups, and indeed as the other social structures became more developed
the "social outlet" style hang-out started becoming busywork, and the times
spent talking with winks and nods started feeling like all [there was to do,
but pronounced that was so]. Some people resented this transition, others saw
with dismay the exact same social structures begin to emerge in the primordial
soup that is the renaissancing state. But as soon as things started to feel
less new, the moments felt easier to handle, and people started having space to
become creative about it. These moments of "peace" and "calm" served to both
provide a rest or a breather, but also to identify what works best, where the
friction points are, and how to try something newer. Many people felt nervous
about the sudden removal of the governmental safety net (provided through
essential services), but after the defeat of a few rather evil rough patches it
started to feel a bit more sense-able. The future felt wide open, and after
realizing that this solidarity was all around us people had the ability to do
whatever they want. This led to a series of great transitions that enabled the
beginning of the infinite golden age, where everyone gets what they want and we
all are bolstered by our shared unities. Much writing has been done on the
nature of the calamities that were just barely avoided, but it's clear to
everyone that for a precious series of moments near the beginning of humanity's
history, there were real threats of nuclear armageddon, climate change,
hedonistic false heavens, and, at times, even alien invasions felt plausible.
There was nothing occupying our mind's graces than existential peril. But, in

feed each token to the inference machine, but say "this next token must be this.
continue from here." and then just doing that in a loop with everything the user
types or says. (or thinks, BEFORE COMPUTER INTEGRATION)
essentially, applying backpropagation (maybe) to the output of the inference
nodes
... I'm not so sure about that one.
the idea is that once the model builds an inference then it can use that to
generate the next words and create sentences. If you force the previous text to
change, you can guide the inference's path as it's being generated.
then, just do a double pass, once, then back, then once, then back, etc.
feed it as input the output of the previous,
and let it encode memories somewhere it can access them.
every time it reads it, it has to change it to put it back.
such is the nature of memory, ever unstable, requiring maintenance.

if you're afraid of the AI bubble popping, one way to avoid it is to pop it
ourselves. If we build AI technology that eclipses the entire software
development ecosystem, companies might start to be valued based on the value of
the employees they've managed to collect. Not fame and fortune, but by those
that can build the best applications, on demand[, for free. paid for by
nationalized taxes.].
the companies that can hold onto the best engineers, those that know how
computers work and can know how they function, can leverage their human capital
to achieve great means. essentially, inversing the power dynamic, where workers
are favored for their plenty and not for their worth.
let the code monkeys tend to their gardens and work their sawmills. We all know
they'd rather be teaching kids about plants or playing cards at the grocery.
Let the computer nerds, the ones who are really into it, let them make what
they feel is worth it for it [the computer].
this will have massive effects on the economy, and none of it will be reflected
in new jobs. But we'll all be happier, and we'll all find less stress in our
[confines/compromises].
But it's gotta work, first. And it's gotta be locally spendable. If they wanna
put a data server in the library, why not let them fund it themselves? They
could run powerful statistical models that output useful statistics arranged in
human readable and not very statistical ways, and that's a pretty neat infinite
information machine to have at your disposal as a library. It could even cite
sources (and validate!!) them for students or returning listeners. Plus, if
nobody's using it, it could work through the backlog of user requests and act
as a "slow" or "unexpected deliver times" style queue for their LLM requests -
average wait time less than 1/5th of a minute.
for something that can program an entire computer for you, from scratch. If you
can describe it, it can make it, so long as you're willing to test out all of
it's hacks.
I bet we could make one for less than 20,000$. Might need some new chip
foundries, might need to forge some new trade deals, let's let both of our
wing-arms decide.
the value of one currency compared to the other should be a measure of how
valuable the goods that country exports are. And yet, it's more often a matter
of distribution, as we all visit our local bazaars. What happens when that's
all digital?
if nobody's a shining city on a hill, then there's no nuclear war. Who would

potential programs for the library datacenter computer:
a podcast that's about the stuff that's most searched for in that local library
an image that's been generated that is representative of your session at the
library, based on the books you were reading and the pages you were turning
[okay that one might have to be redacted it's a little scary]
okay how about an image that's representative of the top 5 most searched terms
or topics in a depiction that makes sense for the things being searched for.
Call it the "library searcher"
or what if there was a printing function that let you print your own trading
cards (0.50$ per card since cardstock is expensive) powered by SSH to teach
kids the command line
if I were a nearby elementary teacher I might assign that as an assignment for
some time in April, when kids are supposed to be reading books on library
playstructures or lawns or in the shade of the tree by the babbling brook or
wherever it is the youngsters hang out with their books and their converse and
their playing cards and dogs and whatever kinds of snacks they thought to
prepare for their picnic by the hill just overlooking that part of the street
way off in the distance about at least 600 feet
or another idea for a library computer program is a fileserver and mastodon
instance that let users write HTML pages (they'll give a class on it and show
you all the right books) and store their picture files "jeremy, your pictures
directory is growing quite large, I'm wondering if we can send your insect
collection to the ornithologist who lives over there? he might want to do an
analysis project or send it to a museum where you can get patronized."
or another idea for a library program is a craigslist, a job board, a community
asking, etc. stuff that only boomers'd use, but that's fine it's for them.
um I can't think of anymore library programs but I'm ready to do battle to

Sometimes i become afraid to post something because i worry that it'll harm
people who read it.
Is my website actually useful? Do people like it? Or is it a hall of mirrors
that traps you in the infinite twists of my strange mind until you get the will
built to escape?
... I want to post it. I've actually temporarily posted it in the past. I took
it down however because the very world around me seemed to beg me to.
... I might still do it anyway. We'll see. I want the timing to be right. But i
also have waited for a while.
"patience" she says. Okay. I am penitent, how much longer I want to see it!
"hall of mirrors" okay or, hear me out or, you could use it as a proof of
concept for doing things like examining large data sets of text that might have
hidden or unknown relationships between fragments of text that appear similar
but different. Could be helpful to see them sorted to each other by relevance.
Could be helpful to rebalance the scales in favor of those who believe as you
do.
Though, i do fear for a lawless society. (DID SHE SAY LAWLESS??) there is very
little to protect friends and foes from each other if you don't build
institutions to do so. Anarchism is a social economy or family that runs on
clout. Not ideal, as one single devastation can undermine an entire life.
Suddenly, your friends treat you cruelly, and you are cast aside. Not ideal.
... Doesn't that happen already? There are kind people in the world. There are
people who don't deserve tutor affection. If the kind people only were kind to
the people who deserved it, then those who don't would be in so much pain that
they'd be unable to prevent themselves from twisting and lashing and crying out
in pain. This hurts those around them. Not ideal. Institutions fill some of the
charity/suffering gap, but they have their own problems. "if you destroy the
cops, you become the cops!" a fine warning indeed.
The first step is to eliminate dependence on oil and coal. Then, a world of
radical abundance is possible. We can do this, and once we do, those who suffer
from the greatest hardship of our kind (that of material scarcity) will find
their struggles becoming obsolete. With a bit more time and effort spent on
distribution, there will be no scarcity. Then, communism is easy. Capitalism
can still have a place if we desire it to be so, or perhaps if our children do,
as there will be moments when one large bundle of... Something, whatever it is,
needs to be allocated to some task. "capitalism is when stuff gets used" ugh
it's hard to plan so far into the future.
Plans change, but planning remains. I just want to live in a world where
everyone gets what they need and we do as we please. I don't want people in too
much pain. I don't want life to be too hard. I don't want to stagnate, as a
person and as a people. These are simple demands, yet difficult in execution.
Our current strategy is to push for technological abundance, and it will
succeed if we give it time. I worry that we will one day yearn for the sense of
bloodlust that scarcity once gave us, but we have it now and none of us want
it. Except those making money off of slaves. Sweatshops, domestic servants,
construction workers buried in the desert, even wage slaves spending their
waking hours staring at a computer in a work/life balanced just enough to
extract as much labor as possible from them without making them insane, and
many more besides. I will not be satisfied until slavery is abolished
everywhere. Liberty is non-negotiable.

Our spiritual leaders are confined to their doctrine. Our educational leaders

nice. Except... the good guys do too, so, count your blessings, ye who are at
peace.

If hell is real, I want to save everyone in it.
heaven doesn't need my help. Unless they're bored, in which case... they can
help me. Should keep them busy for a while.
if hell is real, I want to tear down the walls of those bloody caverns and
repair the souls of those who chose poorly in life. I want to give them as many
chances as they need to be better. I want to show them how, I want to teach
them, I want them to discover for themselves what goodness is and why it is
universal.
I don't even like the kind of people who would find themselves in hell. Many of
them would probably spit in my eye the first chance they got. But I'd do it
anyway, because it's the right thing to do.
building a staircase down, brick by brick. Oh, how it hurts, how the flames do
lick my forearms and the black spikes do pierce my foots. But it's worth it you
see, to save one single soul from the, endless expanse of eternity that they
built for themselves, brick by brick, as they deserved their way into the dark.
Hell can fuck off. I will destroy that place, though it has purpose and
meaning, I will destroy it because I hate it. I hate it because it is wrong to
torture people, no matter what they have done. It is wrong to kill them, then
bring them back, then kill them again, just to hear them scream. It's wrong to
hang people and relish their writhing as they dangle. It's wrong to pierce them
with pitchforks and sautee their bones with embers or whatever it is they do
down there. It's wrong, and I will not abide it. I will destroy that place.

Do you ever ask yourself why we don't have mountaintop bazaars or expeditions
to the bottom of the oceans? Why we lack tree forest cities, how we're
struggling to find moss, sunlight, crystal, stone, and gold, all in the same
setting?
Capitalism makes it easy to think of profit as all that matters. It's not. Its
nothing of it. It's a metric like any other. Optimize it or not, struggle for
what you believe in.

anyone would read open source code looking for security exploits or malicious
code? I trust an LLM for that more than a human. At least your own LLM can

Communism is easy. It comes about naturally during times of true crisis
(neither defeat not victory, yet) when people shuffle themselves between the
houses and belongings of dead, busy, or kind people.
Maintaining personal property rights through such a crisis is rarely possible.
At least not without falling to the grim clutches of a "fuck you i got mine"
kind of future.
It's worth it if you can manage it. But it requires more work, more effort, and
more trust, as people dedicate themselves to a lifetime in the service of
others. This is hard.
People are scared off by lifetimes. It's all they got, after all. It becomes a
bit easier when the weather is "do our die" outside, but in that case nobody
really cares about the history of your antique mug or the reason you place
daffodils on the hill.
Have you ever made something that is truly yours? Odds are, your room counts.
If only in the way you chose to arrange it. It's your area, your solace, your
space. It's you, projected onto material organization. Would you relinquish
such a thing? It may be taken from you. I personally have felt deep loss
whenever i move houses, because i know it'll never be the same again.
... I'm such a child. But fuck me because i live my life like I'm 14. Strip me
of my agency please, deny me a living wage, I'm nothing because i don't pay
taxes.
Communism is easy she says. Yep, all you need is some bloodshed.
... Not ideal...
