All that effort, at least make us laugh

Then why are you here hanging out with us? Being mostly aggressive and unfunny? Go find your tribe of excellence. Or be a lone wolf and let your strong smart soul shine.

Too angry. Unproductive and divisive discourse. Unnecessary. Tactless. Hateful. Ironically thinks they’re better than everyone.

Fuck that’s a nice font

That’s a good point. They’re tools that help us feel a variety of things.

Games and books are easier to think of as being “fun” in many cases. Listening to music isn’t “fun” in the same sense, but it allows us to feel all kinds of stuff. Makes sense that games and books can be thought of outside the fun paradigm too.

It “traps” consciousness. Or makes it emerge. Whatever flavor of existence you like.

That makes sense. And I feel like it makes me understand trees better. This is what I’m thinking.

The fitness landscape for a moving creature underwater is pretty limited. You gotta be hydrodynamic and there aren’t many solutions to that. But we still get variety; eels and jellyfish, for example.

With plants you also have some strong limitations. Plants don’t move. They’re rooted to the ground. Plus they compete over height. So, the solution set consists of sturdy and tall trees.

Moving creatures on land have a lot of more options so evolution achieved more variety. I’m not sure if distinct branches of moving creatures on land arrived at the “same” evolutionary solution.

If a future VR is strong enough to embody us in another body — an animal, a conjured crazy creature, whatever — would we eventually “learn” it? Move around in it? Be it? I feel like the answer is yes.

Just make the noise please

This is starting to remind me of the show severance lol

Next stage: inject you with strong sedatives and pack the plane with the bodies

Pull the lever then do an arm pump so the trolley honks its horn
