I am a walking-talking infohazard and am probably dangerous to your wellbeing. I vacillates between curiosity/playfulness, but even IRL I have trouble with signaling intent.
Subverting the way we model the world can break walls we build to protect ourselves. Breaking my own walls is how I overcome my own fears.
This may enhance triggers in those who have differing fear/disgust responses.
Knowing your emotional limits is not a weakness.
I won't be mad if you unfollow.
Things I've been absolutely fascinated with: #governance and #governancestructures, #socialnetworks, #gametheory, #incentive systems and mechanism / #gamedesign, #decentralized anything, organizational #rituals, #advertising theory, #information #networks, #psychology, #sociobiology, #complexsystems theory, #emergence, #swarmcognition, #groupformation and #autopoiesis, risk reward processing, and the nature of #homeostasis in living systems.
Basically I wanna put sentient robotic ants on mars.
I'm a computer obsessed autistic nerd w/ executive function disorder. I am effectively agoraphobic. I'm so fucked with anxiety/depression/sensory issues that I can't even manage to get on disability.
I'm living on a donation of $100 a month, and by grace of some girl I met on the internet.
I spend most of my time reading science pubs in quest to fix myself, hundreds a day. I have an operating model of disease that lets me make predictions that end up panning out months+years later.

Breeding ideas.
Federated social media will out live giants like facebook, twitter. They might have a small user base but that means nothing, they are not run for a profit and a single node going down has little impact on the hole of the network.
And being a for purpose network, it is not left to the mercy of market valuation that has killed so many social networks in the past.
A programmers brain be like:
Watching a presentation on javacsript's event loop the other day and woke up in a fright.
It seems I've solved a bug in some really gnarly code that I've long since deleted.
Is this loss?

Human + Anthropodermic bibligopegy + Tattoos: A book that writes itself as you read it.
Recapitulating flesh & blood.
Anthropodermic bibliopegy
Removing water from ideas to preserve history.
"The scientists think the tattoo ink was made using soot, and the fact that it is carbon-based allowed the infrared camera to pick it up very strongly. [...] It's interesting, it must be this human phenomenon to want to permanently modify your body. It seems to be very cross-cultural but for a variety of different reasons"

Research published earlier this year in Endocrine Abstracts showed that polyphenols in chocolate improved insulin sensitivity even in people who did not have diabetes."
Tired: Functional programming makes you a useless programmer commercially because you get used to features that aren't in commercially-used languages
Wired: Functional programming makes you a useless programmer commercially because it's a gateway into building programming languages and therefore mathematical philosophy which reveals that the so-called "objective truth" of mathematics is built upon extremely subjective assumptions.
