I spent a summer as Data. Trying to think like a compassionate rational machine for a whole summer as a child probably has a lot to do with the way i think now.

Good help is hard to find.

This is dedicated to my webev friends, may your customers be easy going, simple to please, and affluent beyond description.

Yes. Yes we are.

Awesome.

Wrong Card Triggers Realization

Ha! This brings up a valid point. I really have been thinking this way.

IMO It's a bug crawling on the dome of the camera. the "shadow" is just it partly blocking the light reflected from the floor. As an example put your finger up to your eye till its out of focus, no look at a light source, move your finger to obscure the light source slowly, you'll notice that its not a clean line between covered and uncovered, the light gets dimmer as more and more of the photos get absorbed by your finger.

You can do this to see "through" a pencil or a straightened paper clip.

For more information about how this works look up the double slit experiment, and the difference between coherent and incoherent light.

And what happens when you tell the woman you're in love with after hopping off your bike because you sold it after quitting your job when you realized just how expensive the damn thing was, and you're 4k in debt from your jaunt across Europe?

Happily ever after or epic fail?

Which do you think is more likely?

Debate

Real debate is a holy thing. Real debate in my mind is the exploration of the validity of an idea between two parties interested in knowing and willing to act based on their findings. Debate is the essence of human value, it allows imagination to interact with intelligence. It is what allows the evolution of abstractions based on data received from reality. It is what allows humanity to act as a single organism.

It is the agent which we use to form our picture of existence in relation to our collective self.

A discussion is an exchange of ideas that does not include a willingness to change on one or both sides.

An argument is the desire to force the other side to conform to ones position regardless of the target's willingness.

There is no real debate of written or unwritten social policy in this country, nor in any other with a government as far as I can tell.

There is no real debate over who leads us or why the rich get to keep their inherited wealth like kings. There is no debate over why family life is structured as it is, there is no debate over tax itself being justified, or the attempted legislation of morality. Because real debate must include an opportunity for change in either direction based on said debate. Marijuana law is a standing example of debate being a bloody farce in this country. If real debate occurred it never would have been criminalized in the first place. Need I even mention the 9/11 investigation? Regardless of your position on that matter, you should be able to agree that at the very least there is significant public interest in the matter, and yet officially the book is closed.

I wish with every fiber of my being that debate were existent in this world. But so long as we are paralyzed with fear greed jealousy and willful ignorance, it cannot. I believe that fear is at the heart of what it is to be human, hence my transhumanism.
