I think that isolating oneself in a cave might be best.

Imagine an illusion, the matrix, built not of scifi machinery but of habit, maintained by the presence of others.

Get alone and the habits dissolve. And then the invisible becomes visible.

I might add, “become comfortable with uncertainty”. Because nothing drowns you in a swamp of bullshit like an excessive need for certainty.

That’s the best way

There is the theory that we feel emotions first and then we think only to justify the emotion.

This would imply that it isn’t the thinking that needs to be managed but the emotions.

Is it the intersection of 3 curves?

Am I being trolled?

It’s funny because a girl put a boy down

What do you mean by “we”?

If we could do emotional memory transfer then we wouldn’t need movies anymore.

Movies are an indirect way of evoking emotions.

Wait till you find out that they won’t let you sleep. That’ll really burn your britches.

Godzilla (Japan). In one zap of the breath weapon takes out 100,000 people. No pause for reflection or comment on the meaning of it. Just immediately cut to next scene.

We don’t do that in USA

Immortal 2004. (A very kickass movie if you haven’t) (French). Horus (The egyptian god) has this relationship with Nickopol (badass poet/politician). It’s hilarious. Horus sees humans as at best children or pets or disposable tools. There’s no aside or smirk or “yeah but…”. No, they just go with it 100%. 100%! That’s something you don’t see too often.

What I’m asking is, if you have none of those sexual urges coloring your consciousness, would you find romcoms boring?

It might set a certain mood. You feast upon the global conversational banquet, yet you still feel hungry.

One thing I think about is the incredible poverty of text.

When you look at a word you get a meaning. But that meaning, it comes mostly from your entire life’s experience, your memory, what you’ve been taught. That’s huge. And the word is very very small, comparatively.

So when you’re reading, 99% of the content is coming from you. So reading is basically you just talking to yourself. And social media is a million people talking to themselves.

And that’s pretty weird.

I would teach arts and crafts to grade school kids. I’m really good at that stuff (I even have a degree). And I have a good course plan worked out.

Everybody tells me I’d last about an hour tho. I am not good with stress. Grade school kids have like 3x normal energy.

Every single time. I just like it.

making roguelike content. Mazes, monsters etc

My vision of the future is furries fighting with nerf guns, forever.

All the biological sex stuff

A person without any sexual attributes.
