I try to be conscientious of such things and only believe the things I read
that I agree with explicitly. I've been burned before, in my youth, which
perhaps is a privilege that those who come beyond us might never experience in
the future AI generated internet that shall scarcely resemble the wild wild
west that I grew up in. Perhaps, but I cannot say for sure, as the future has
necessarily not yet come to pass, and so we cannot see how it shall unfold. I
hope people can learn the digital literacy skills I developed. I hope they
learn new ones that they'll then pass on to me. I hope the future is grand and
beautiful and... Frankly I don't think I'll be disappointed in that particular
respect. : )

the future is what we make of it. it happens both slower and faster than
imaginable, and it's not evenly distributed.
when I yearn for the future, I find myself drawn to the past - the natural
world around me inspires me in ways that my computer never could. Just as my
computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not.
though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing
has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media.
frankly I'd take social media over leaded gasoline any day!

Perhaps I'm strange, but I like to take that particular joy that you're
describing in essentially every piece of media I consume. Not as a vengeful
feeling, but rather just a product of the idea that I cannot truly know the
intentions of those who created it, so I approach my understanding of it from
an angle that is aligned according to my own experience. Which means that my
conclusion lands somewhere they (presumably) didn't intend...

perhaps not a while, but rather "with great difficulty"
difficult things often take time, but not necessarily. We have the power of
the internet now, something that our hundred thousand years or more of
starvation lacked. we can coordinate on a scale that is beyond all reason - a
scale that mirrors the development of the printing press in terms of it's
relative magnitude.
we have been using it to improve ourselves. I mean, the average teenager 50
years ago would be considered an absolute ding-wad today, someone who lacks
basic emotional intelligence and is completely at odds with what we value as a
cohesive and heartfelt society. And yet they were better than those who came
before them. Thus does posterity march forth, taking the world that was
granted to them by their forefathers and stepping out into the unknown of the
future with all the lessons they could bring with them.
what happens when the lessons are infinitely transferable and recordable?

I wrote a little bit of that on my website, but something told me not to. I
think because it would weaken the message? Frankly it was quite difficult to
say even the barest minimum of "I wrote these things when I was distressed and
didn't post them until now. I'm only posting them now because they're becoming
increasingly relevant and it's a little embarassing tbh to showcase how much
I've changed. Please don't take these things out of context."
I wasn't *wrong* per se, but I was misaligned. I am always re-aligning myself
in small ways that eventually create (what I believe to be) the best and most
ethical direction. BUT it's easy not to see that. People don't see things in
their totality, they see only what they are exposed to. That's not bad, it's
just a product of our finite existence. Which is why I value personal
expression more than self-identified moral and ethical directioned [beliefs,
but pronounced as "adaptations"]

Technology always progresses. It's almost as if it's a core facet of the
universe - that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion
will stay in motion. But there is always friction, from the air or... Other
particles... So the object eventually stops. -----> and then is pulled into
motion again, after a suitable period of waiting. The center of the waveform is
the ocean upon which our reflections dance, and on the other side... Is
something anathema to us.
There will always be a resurgence. Our time will come, just as theirs will -
the cosmic dance of two celestial bodies. Celebrate, for they will be coming to
rest.
The passage of knowledge from one "generation" to the next is the greatest
gift
kyou can give to the future. But what knowledge would survive the cruel
passage
of time? None but the bones. The last remnants of a living breathing creature,
with hopes, aspirations, and a unique experience. And... That's all the
information you get.
How are you supposed to create a narrative out of that most basic of
biological
existences? It's impossible.
So... What happens next? The most beautiful thing in all of creation is the
light in your eyes when you're dancing. Cherish that heart, and never relent.

There's certainly a path laid toward an optimistic collapse. Lucky for us, it
seems to be the one we're on. You can help it along (the optimism part, not
the collapse part) by being kind to the people around you and developing
relationships with people of all different ages. The greater the spread, the
more flexible you can be.
"oh yeah I know a guy who can fix that"
"uhhh I don't know but let me call so-and-so"
"yeah sure I can do that, I'm glad [that guy] told you to reach out"
I'm more interested in reality than fiction, honestly. Fiction can help when
you don't know what's at stake, or you don't know where to go... But I know
the answer to both of those questions, at least to my satisfaction, so instead
I feed carrots to squirrels, sing songs in the shower, and smile at every
person I see in the grocery store.

gah. fine.

I feel like a big purpose of humanity collectively right now should be making
things awesome while our scientists create programmable matter. (note, ethics
built in and redefined according to experience)
nanobots don't need to be small enough to have their own intelligence, just
big enough to receive instructions from above. then they accidentally invent
projection of signals, and boom suddenly they can talk to each other and
possibly to you. a digital mind is not a static machine but rather a
collection of pseudo-autonomous cognitive drones. the flow of information and
data can be viewed at a larger scale like a series of junctions in the flow.
through their endless interconnections, and continually redefined according to
the accomplishments of expectations, you should pray when your most confident
expect the worst.
but no, where are the faithful? climate science is such a new art - clearly
we're FINE. Meteorology? what's that? we can't tell this season from that.

Alright. I've done some thinking. Here's what I think:
"*join the right stand*"
your foes don't think of themselves as bad guys, so... talk to them about
what it means to be good.
this is easy. everyone knows how to speak.
this is why they don't want you to see the whites of their eyes anymore. if
you can't see your foe on the other side of the horizon, then drone strikes
extend much farther than far.
who am I to say the worst is behind us?
who am I to start saying "there's more"?
life, forever unending, is as far away as your generations will go.
but, just as disease may be slain, so may be aging.
if only the same could be said for despair.
nobody consents to eternity. They all give up partway through. This is why
eternity cannot be promised, though it does have it's useitude.
impermeable to hazards, indefinable outside of it's borders, and fully replete
with it's charms. secure these and you will be better than me,,, I hope you're
happy on mars.
... anyway, when time falls one way, surely that way would be "down". just as
an object in orbit doesn't change it's momentum, so too does an equal and
opposite reaction never come.
"forward" to the moon is "down"
where does up go?
