i'm not an expert on race, economics, political theory, philosophy,
mathermatics, poetry, computer science (even though I study it), or many other
things. but I can say things like "parallel computing is inherently more
ethical than CPU's because networked computers can essentially act as a
massive GPU in order to quickly scale computing power for AGI in a way that
can be controlled by people instead of corporations and authoritarians" is
because I know relatively how many computers each side possesses and I
understand the limitations placed on "consumer" software and hardware (as if
we were not people, but components in a machine) is because I smoke a lot of
weed. and possibly am mentally ill. maybe even physically, nobody can tell.
/shrug
and by that I mean "I'm a little strange, but not in a 'humanlike' way, rather
in more of a 'incomprehensible yet aligned' way. I seek answers to life's
biggest questions, and in return I am struck with the malady of those who
study history: I am peculiarily experiencing

humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

camouflage in an urban environment is not camo. rather, regular clothes of
black or white.
don't wear sports glasses, you look like a dummy.
revolution is when they murder everyone but your friends. this is what
happens, ya dingus not ideal. "okay who are the bad guys here? okay let's go
shoot them to death with our bullets and guns."
violence as a first aspect, cause as a third spark. "I have a strange urge to
play video games?"

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.

I wish I could like... ride my bike somewhere for an hour or two, consult for
a bit, then ride home (or to the next place)
that'd be a fun way to apply myself, and it'd give me the chance to have some
space for myself. as long as I had time to rest, I'm usually only good for
half of a day.
unless it's a project with a lot of tasks that need coordination, like
building a house or working through a short-term urgent disaster.
