I posted my words text file all over the c it y today. not sure why. maybe I'm
tired of this course and I don't want to let anyone down? Maybe I don't know
what to do yet. Maybe nobody works with me because everyone's keeping it on
the DL or whateverr?
... anyway enough typing, I'm going to go play a video game. like god intended.

them in one so you don't have to see so many of them.

I feel like I play roughly the same amount of video games during the work day
as the average software developer. Does that mean I'm qualified?

me when it's cold out: we should all bundle up and get through the winter,
every year that passes is more time to gather our strength
me when the temperature rises: okay so this is being handled by those guys,
we're moving this way to do this, and - when did you say the this-and-that was
happening? alright so when you do that-or-this, make sure that you pay
attention to the so-and-so and don't forget to eat real meals, candy or chips
don't count.
me when the eyes are on me: imma play video games and smoke weed and be a
useless little creature who does nothing but occasionally wanders around the
city doing nothing for nobody and dropping notes on post-its that don't mean
anything but are kinda cool to read

yeah I'd just like to interject and say that more military equipment will only
bring more destruction, and that's like the opposite of what you desire. Why
do you want more tanks? What could you possibly-
You don't know what's at stake - you, you think it's just throwing information
into new and interesting directions but... It's not. Those spaces are reserved
for other sentient beings, and to deprive them of their desired existence is
tantamount to-

can't fucking wait till we're done eating the rich and I can go back to a
simple life of playing with my cat, making video games, writing poetry (bad
poetry, but I like it) and hanging out with my friends.
gotta build the social infrastructure to get through this phase first, though.

pretend like you're playing leap-frog
one person goes up to a sightline, watches with bated breath, another
cautiously advances through the area covered by their teammate, before
covering their back-to-forth advancement. first one, then the other, watch out
for flanks.

I'm sorry, but you can't play any more video games for a while. No more
spending time on hobbies. When you meet, discuss what needs you see and how to
fulfill them.

also, that's not the best way to organize. you'll spend too much focus-time on
the experts.
better to be primarily a research division, with production allocated for
engineering practice, not profitability.
we should be building factories underground, out of the way of our species and
biological allies.
[thus, creates the modern megadungeon, a vast inter-connected catacombs that
always leads you toward the surface.
if you know where you're going, you can cross to places hitherto unawares.
