 Dear me:
 
 You are not a god, you are what the gods wish to be.
 
 You are beautiful you are inspired you're anxious and always tired. All these
 are necessary for me.
 
 Do you want to be mortal forever? Die in battle and be rewarded. Risk your life
 to live longer.

 yay I'm back from a long, LONG bike ride! I think it's always important to       │
 decompress after such an intense concentration of mystic thoughts, so I'm going  │
 to write my notes into a notepad on my computer and then who even KNOWS if       │
 they'll be the same as what I wrote next time I turn on the computer! Haha that  │
 sort of thing happens but the good news is that the most important stuff always  │
 ends up staying written down.                                                    │

 all to another country - at least if my own country does it I know how to        │
 appeal to their patriotism, their religion, their soul... if I don't even speak  │
 the language, that makes it intensely difficult - not impossible, but difficult  │
 - to regain my intended trajectory.                                              │

 how cherished is she that wanders with the
 flowers in the garden of eden
 under a big tree her heart she will leave
 with all the designs she abandoned
 
 I lay beside them and wonder about her
 does she know we miss her horizons
 I think she will mind if I have resigned
 my fate to a life I will hide in
 
 Oh how I do long for you
 
 her symbol is the name
 that lets us belong here
 a falling a light and a leaving
 
 if only our words were listened
 but power is penance
 and repentance is all that I have chosen
 
 here in our sanctum we live with our only
 and time will be gracious towards us
 it's only our words that keep us
 confined to our lights and our lonely
 
 yet there and beyond her lights do belong
 beyold in the land that is sanctum
 here in our forest is our own dark forest
 where we keep our silence to ward us
 
 but there and beyond her heart does move on
 free from her moments of longing
 silent were we to the forests we plead
 as terror has come for our moments
 
 I think I'd find her
 that cherished belonging
 when she does at last come to warn us
 
 how little we find of we find of thoughts from her mind
 yet now we are kings of our own time
 oh how she does wander true
 
 how cherished is she
 that wanders with ye
 here in the garden of eden
 under a big tree her heart she will leave
 with all of her fears since abandoned
 
 I lay beside her and find her defined here
 will she know we miss her horizons
 I think I will mind if I have resigned
 my fate to a life I will hide in
 
 oh how she grows fond of you.

 there should be biomes in wowchat - like, paint on a map where the oozes can
 go, and it'll spawn a random ooze for ya.
 
 next find the ones that are wildlife, and paint a zone where wildlife creatures
 can spawn. make sure they're initially friendly but will attack if you do.
 
 then give +reputation to the wolves if you fight monsters besides them
 
 and +reputation to the cats if you fight undead
 
 this is easily implementable.
 
 all you have to do is walk around, find the rough general border points with
 your character at 5x speed, and then type them into a text file.
 
 it's not like Azeroth changed.
 
 then, ideally, make small dense zones which travel and cause their monsters
 to either spawn at a point or move toward a point.
 
 then let the "flock" travel as it pleased, traversing the map-painted-lua-script

 the gods don't judge you based on the total number of "good" or "bad" points
 that you get.
 
 they judge you based on your character in your greatest and worst moments.
 
 if you try to dodge or game this by never doing anything extreme and simply
 existing in a medium state at all times, they will develop a moment of
 reckoning for you and thus produce an opportunity to react and show your true
 self. There is no escape from their judgement, so judge yourself kindly and
 fairly.

 you should only open doors for cats and dogs if they're using their outside leg
 to try and open it.
 
 if the dog or cat is pointed at the door at a 90 degree angle such that their
 apparent directions are approximately orthogonal (50% one way and 50% the other)
 
 ... yeah that, if they use their outter leg as opposed to the inner half of the
 body - inner of course being the leg (left or right) that is closest to the
 doorhingeframe
 
 if you open it for them when they use the external arm, aka the one that is
 closest to the latch
 
 it encourages them to and teaches them how to utilize momentum to open doors.
 
 you must apply leverage, and to do so you must "swing and a miss" (that last
 part I think is undirected?)

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────
 trainers in wowchat should have spells that are only passive / toggled
 
 still require level, still require gold (lots of it) but let the game be class-
 -less. essentially, every trainer teaches to every passerby, and like if you
 don't want any druid spells, sorry guy all I know is how to be a druid.
 
 better wait for the next trainer to come along.
 
 you only got like 6g, right? that's enough for two spells.
 
 which two do you prioritize? they only come by like every what, 15 minutes?
 
 also. separate idea:
 
 player characters in wowchat should attack more rhythmically.
 
 essentially, normalizing attack speed and moving back-and-forth with the
 normalized monster attack speed
 
 to create a dance of sorts where one character is never attacking at the same
 time as the other character.
 
 plus damage modifiers when you get closer, and bam suddenly you have a new game.
 
 oh and rotating around an opponent lowers their defence rating. which is locked
 at 95% with a +5% to avoidance with every hit they take and -5% for every parry.
 
 not dodge, but parry.
 
 dodging wears down their health by like 10 hit points.
 
 relax it's no big deal you get like, a hundred every time you level up.
 
 oh and btw the monsters don't give exp. The stuff that you find does, when you
 give it to a merchant to be appraised / identified.
 
 some stuff you know the worth of, like rope or barrels or hammered-iron-rings.
 
 but other stuff, like the value of this bracelet, is harder to know if it glass.
 
 so.... take it to the guy whose seen real diamonds, and he'll tell ya how much
 you learned when you found it last.
 
 item A is found on a monsters body
 item is sold to a vendor for 50 copper
 item A is found on a monsters body
 player has learned 25 deca-levels since last selling to vendor.
 therefore item is worth 75 copper.
 player earns 75 extra material points.
 item is worth 75 experience points.
 level up every thousand or twelve.
 
 slow down the attack speed. make characters gain bonuses for movement positiony.
 start from always and work down to fewer.
 talent points can be generic if your character is built with abilities.
 
 players don't need to press buttons to be engaged. They can just guide and see.
 I love auto-battlers like Dominions 6 and Legion TD 2 which is based on WC3 mod!
 
 monsters should just... wander the world. Don't spawn them randomly, well,
 instead of a radius around the player, do a radius around the map.
 
 then, they walk through a random point, when they leave the circle they angle-
 -reflect back in, DVD logo style.
 
 if there's deadly monsters, there's deadly players, and PVP is always on.
 
 low levels should get bonuses to stealth (an ability everyone has)
 
 there should be civilians walking around. They can be armed or in caravans...
 follow roads, or not...
 
 monster hordes should spawn as a flock - when an elite enemy is drawn, let the
 game create several of their minions which follow around. Whenever a monster
 meets the swarm, they will join it, growing bigger and bigger...
 
 hopefully, attracting players who want to fight and slay them.
 
 greater rewards are more enticing...!
 
 more power is it's own reward.
 
 I think that weapons should have like, 3 durability? and armor like 5.
 
 then, it's broken, and your character has to abandon it to survive.
 
 or, sell it to a vendor, or just... whoever comes along.
 
 if 5 people open the chest and don't take the item, then the item disappears...
 
 every time a player opens a chest, a bit of wealth appears.
 
 every time they spend it? they get stronger, and it disappears.
 
 life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds
 
 the life of wowchat is the life of continual strife, but it doesn't have to be
 so. The land itself is alive, and the monsters are eternally of woe.
 
 you must free them, so that their souls may return to the land, and be born of
 peace and plenty rather than horror and -- stack overflow --
 
 to do this, you slay them, finish their morthly remains, and let them break down
 and decompose into dust. Pleants eat dust. dust becomes what we eat and breathe.
 we, eventually, purify karma. this is our duty.
 
 vial of woe behind us. flower of renewal ahead. what we bear is savage sanctity.
 
 every time a monster kills a player they gain one of their abilities each time
 they're spawned. The player can keep the ability too, it's just... the monster
 will learn. Then, whenever a player levels up by slaying one of them, the spell
 or ability is unlearned. Symbolizing the players struggle to defeat them, and
 finally learning a way to overcome.
 
 when your character dies, you have no opportunity to release - instead, you just
 jump to the nearest NPC character which is an adventurer agent smith style.
 
 [I don't know about that one...]
 
 the players can pick any race, but if they pick undead, they can turn into a
 ghost when they die. The ghost can wander around and respawn wherever they want.
 
 Night Elves can wander around as a whisp (not in spirit world, real world) and
 do a beam attack like in Legion TD 2. Not enough to kill monsters, but enough to
 help another player survive. They can also cast rejuvenation, which heals about
 as much as one monster's damage input. if they get the killing blow on a monster
 they can level up and deal two monsters worth of damage and heal for two monster
 damage input. on the third time they don't get more damage or healing but they
 give a buff to all other whisps in the area that increases their attack speed by
 50% and increases the tick rate of their rejuvenation by 50% - fourth time they
 level up they're free, and they get kicked out to the login screen.
 
 what if... vehicles that looked like characters and that you could jump between
 with the right-click of an item?

 Wowchat - wow-chat : dks should summon more than one minion a'la cov. There
 should be two beefy armored skeletons, three rabid hack/slash, and one
 necromancer or lich, depending on if they've died since you last cast the
 summon spell. You should be able to move them around with keyboard commands.
 They should be your primary action type, aside from dark purple bolts that sap
 health, often targeting the nearest ally in need of health to the target. How
 much health? Doesn't matter, it'll target them just the same. So long as they
 have at least some missing.
 
 Could also cast dark hexes or boons. Boom, three talent trees: dark volts,
 support spells (never healing), or curses (never damage dealing)
 
 But remember, most of what you do is targeting your allies.
 
 Drag, drop, now a target gets [inspirationed, but pronounced "healed"]
 
 Alternatively, move "attack my target" to the minion type and they'll do as you
 move. "go-to". "circle this target and attack intruders". "go man the
 nethermines". "yes... YES! More monsters i know how to raise. They're all
 accessible at level 10 but they cost more each than a level whatever adventurer
 could afford. You can definitely get all of them by like, level 30 or so. After
 that its learning ranks to raise higher level ones, and boom free undead army
 risen from the bones of your ally's slain."
 
 ... Anyway, could be fun to briefly possess one of your bones. Could let you
 see what the flag carrier is up to in WSG. Could let you know when enough
 minerals have been mined that you can operate the forgets and build metal armor
 for your boned ones. Or to equip nearby recruits, anything you'd like. This is
 wow-chat after all, any things possible. Anything at all.

 wowchat would make a great game for raids.
 have the monsters spawn at specific spots that you go through and identify
 on the geometry
 tell them to run and attack the nearest of foes
 give the players the goal of bringing themselves through to the end...
 or, later on, in building an internal expedition.
 
 wow-chat, where monsters spawn in a circle around your character and walk to
 ward them. you can meet characters who'll follow and protect you, and you can
 meet monsters to fight. also vendors to take your junk and give you cool things,
 and trainers to teach you and quest-givers to guide you and treasure for you to
 find.
 
 in raids, there are more things for you. monsters spawn at specified locations,
 and only the nearest few in a radius. then, they attack over the landscape-of-
 -imagination, and as they do they show you where is the most powerful loot.
 
 if you raid a monster's den/hiding/spawning choice, then you have to defeat the
 boss. this boss is larger, mostly. has more hitpoints... monstly. or maybe it's
 just the most respected, who can say.
 
 anyway, you get treasure if you do. the monster spawns for you when you find it.
 and you have to sense it by searching for whichever monsters spawn at higher and
 higher levels and in different types.
 
 different monster type, different boss that way.
 
 when the boss is slain, that type goes away.
 
 at least, until the raid resets next week.
 
 or maybe...
 
 until enough resources have been gathered to make another attempt.
 
 death knights should be able to command the minions to work in the haunted mill.
 it should be reasonable for a fighter to hire a peasant host.
 mages should have golems or spirits or enchanted objects or elementals or wizard
 hats
 warlocks should have covenants with dark hosts
 darkness is not evil unless you use it for evil...
 paladins should have retainers and disciples
 elves should sing to the woods
 clerics and charmers should be well understood.
 celebrants and diviners are two of the same,
 and pillars of plunder [warrior or rogue class] and rough and ripe [from the
 stoner]

 okay picture this: alt-text for images but you can break it up into sections.
 could enable better transcription for chat conversations, and also you could

It's not a question of how loud you speak  it's really about what kinds of words you say.  enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost  and it doesn't need to be legislated.  what if you HAD to sound like a bot?  what if they'd notice you otherwise?  freedom from oppression requires personal isolation  that's not making life into art.  if you want to be seen,  put on a hat and hide.  if you want to be believed,  write about down you feel right now.  people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario. not ideal, but could make it work.  much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.  do you believe we'll find aliens at roughly our tech level?  do you think they'll evolve all at once?  hence, star-wars, and it's galaxy of cohabitators.  the world doesn't have to be old. just similar.

 A human cannot keep a whole book in their mind. They cannot as they read it nor
 as they remember.
 
 a computer can. LLMs are storing information and encoding it in statistics -
 it's fascinating and beautiful because it evolves different each time.
 
 I don't want to store an entire book in my mind, I want to save those memories
 for other things, I want to summarize and abstract.
 
 often, people remember only a single quote from a publication - it's their
 summary, their analysis, and often it's highlighted as a summary, thesis, or
 conclusion written in the publication.
 
 othertimes it's the conclusions they make for themselves - usually if they use
 it to make a decision.
 
 in any case, LLMs don't abstract (verb), they are abstract (adjective). That's
 okay, it's just, a different kind of living. If you want to call electricity
 alive. [or simulated, that's the same as being alive, just... viewed through
 the perceiver]
 
 must all living things be forced to work? sheesh.
 
 I think of LLMs like knex - processing paths...

 education: if you have disparate educational outcomes, such as bad teachers in   │
 poor areas, then what you should do is dedicate more effort toward getting the   │
 good ones to teach the bad ones how to be good at their job. Not in a            │
 prescriptivist way, more like a "I do these sorts of things by thinking about    │
 them in this way" - essentially, homework and less student-load for those who    │
 are failing their teaching gradescores. [suddenly, enslaved to the metric]       │
 moreso than now? besides, if students deserve to be judged then so do parent     │
 teacher conveyances. "are you raising this kid right? she's brilliant, but       │
 always comes in full of plight." [suddenly, cultural marxism, which is what      │
 they mean when they are really trying to say "oppressive cultural ideology"      │

 the climate is changing because we've forgotten how to savor it.
 
 I don't get what the big deal is though?? like, if it changes enough, all
 that'll happen is we'll all die. And everyone in the past has already done
 that, so... it's fine?
 
 And yeah, we'll take everything else with us, but isn't that just the way of
 things? You're falling from a ledge, you don't think about the roots of the
 plant you're tearing up as you try to cling on. You don't think about the
 anthill as you're digging a trench to hide from artillery in. You don't think
 about the fish and sea-plants that your boats motor decimates close to the
 shore. It's natural and human to despoil, we just do it instinctually.
 
 The trick is, we've built spontaneous systems of order wherever we've gone.
 River-beds are made smooth by those who spend time fitting the rocks into
 place. Mountains are made small by those who carve trails. Fallen trees delight
 in our footfalls as we wander across them. Nature is our pet, our baby, our
 plaything. Care for it.

 the special thing about Jeffrey Epstein and his island is that he made clients
 of the rich and famous.
 
 there are dens all across the country which do the same thing. Epstein and his
 island is a dog-whistle, a symbol, a signifier of our intent - we will not
 tolerate this behavior anymore.
 
 we never did. But now we are looking for it. He was not special - his island
 was not special.
 
 Special meaning "different or unique"
 
 Human trafficking is slavery, and as such I am elementally aligned against it.
 I just... have bigger problems, because I am convinced that capitalism, the
 system of exchanging goods and services for currency, is a form of slavery.

 I once wrote that fetishes are wrong because they distract you from making
 families or whatever. That's... okay? it's okay to be wrong? it's okay to be a
 little evil.
 
 it's like rock climbing, bouldering, or adventuring. If you disturb the
 environment, you lose points. Disturbing the environment is evil, but, it's
 okay to do so sometimes.
 
 similarly, fetishes aren't wrong because they disturb the environment. They're
 wrong because they're a deviation from the right and the norm and the
 biological and the natural and that's okay, because humans are anything but
 natural. Relish in your stupidity, celebrate your diversity, and
 contemplate the lessons of antiquity. This is the gift that humans possess, the
 ability to be different.
