i have been noticing recently that people younger than me are too sensitive, while people older than me are not sensitive enough. which, if i'm correct, should be taken as a sign that the total reality penetration vortex is operating as intended -- within as few as five or six generations we may very well be producing babies who can directly perceive the wound at the heart of the world

i bet girls hated it in 1902 cuz you would constantly go on dates w guys who are working on an invention to present at the world fair

When they invent the technology to parse the noosphere, they’ll make a roster of the worst thought polluters and I’ll be on top of it and it will be so so embarrassing

Of course law will catch up eventually and prohibit frivolous thought-to-person attribution but the damage will be done by then

not naming names but some of you are so creative and talented it's an honor to have you in my phone

I feel like it's a really common trope to have a non-biological entity disgusted by squishy bio things like secretions and flesh and stuff but. Wouldn't they utterly lack revulsion to those things? The reason we are repulsed by things like blood and shit and corpses is because they are intimately connected to our bodies, are uncomfortable reminders of our animal mortality, can be vectors of harm, or are a signal of danger. A being made of energy, metal, or plastic does not have the same sympathetic connections to these things that we do, except as a kind of intellectual sympathy for what people they care about fear. Disgust is repulsive, and you can only repel something if it's close to you. I think the things that viscerally repel a non-biological mind are not going to be biological.
