no one is less equipped to appreciate the pathology of intelligence than intelligent people
only smart people are able to elegantly justify away common sense
and betray their own natures
intelligent people just want irl star trek
24/7 scienceing
the draw of that is meaning in mystery and exploration etc.
it's basically postponing existential crises
Lasers inside colons so you never have to shit
but how will you enjoy poopoo eating
vr homosex
very nice, very nice
yeah
totally virtual animal/child chimera sex
is the only thing that can bring me to orgasm anymore
if you read, the Culture series of novels
has a society that's like that
and it's depicted positively
the writer can't ever make it work
but it's been lauded a lot due to that basic premise, which takes "liberalism" as it exists in our times and extends it to a technological absurdity
"transcendental garbage men"
smart people dont understand their function or their specialness
they should be considered like an adaptation of a bigger organism
useful in small numbers to deal with exceptional situations
black swan events, whatever
in most matters, common sense is far superior
Different people should be considered as puzzle pieces
even if it cannot be rationally justified
Completing a whole of a people
this hypothesis means that group selection/adaptation is a thing
which is rejected at the moment
One sort of puzzle piece can't make up a picture
Yeah, cause such stories are masturbatory.
What?
Why?
Temporarily?
Blogging is suspended for the time being. I have blogged daily here for nearly seven years, at an average rate of about 1.5 posts per day - but at present I have nothing much to say and (linked with this) no imaginative sense of an 'audience'. It may be that this phase of my work is coming to an end, as so often happens in life after seven years. We shall see...
he's a bit lame about this aspect
the audience aspect
