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.

What do?

I am alive because of zefrank's content.

Its a bastion of hope in a sea of pain.

Yes that job posting is from 2010.

I wasn't ready to do that job in 2010.

I wanna see if I can still apply to be an intern.

In other news, it seems that the Brave Browser has fixed the bug! It now supports webtorrents properly if you turn off the built in torrent engine extension.

I'm in your networks, influencing your ideas.

The bottle from the passive waterer burped at the dog an now the dog is afraid of it.

I understand you dog. I too am afraid of life.

Why is there another version of "transhumanism" that seems to imply that the nature of that framing is to perpetuate slavery?

The whole point of my interest in the subject is as a means to minimize or outright abolish one of the fundamental drivings forces behind slavery: the removal of the beast-of-burden way of life.

Replacing horses with electric cars, replacing cars with remote VR arrangements. etc.

I'm missing something. What am I missing?

My brand of anti-slavery transhumanism in nutshell:

1) Sustainable robotic pets

2) To be able to generate my own nourishment via photosynthesis.

& yet...

> "You are a slave, legally owned by another human being. But you are happy slave. Your master treats you well and as luck would have it, what he wants you to do, lines up with what you prefer to do. Consequently, he never interferes with your choices. You live in harmony with one another."

Me: We treat some animals as pets, and others as food. Where we draw the line seems arbitrary and cruel. Would you eat your dog?

Also me: Oh dear god, we treat our pets like slaves and tools, even breeding them to fit our demands. Dogs built as emotional labor slaves, lap warmers, hunting companions, social companions.

Tired: buying The Sims to torture people.

Wired: buying The Sims to torture dogs.

Technological doll houses where we learn to treat other living beings as disposable pawns and ownable objects.

Years of muscle memory protects from issues of your, you're, youir. Or there, their, and they're.

It feels like Voice-to-text is trolling me by highlighting internal difficulties:
1) Choosing the correct option under conditions of risk leading to fatigue.
2) Amplifying glitches associated with dependence on phonetic language (to combat dysgraphia).
3) Resistant to correction by some form of issue seemingly dyslexic in nature.

Why word does choice the feel like risk a?
