      Ohhh...Looks like that Hypothesis in "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" about "people will do what you told them not to" was right after all.

  2. Last night I had a very long, complex narrative dream. I only remember some of the details, but it's enough to piece things together....I had gone back in time to the Old West with a friend, we were trying to grab a train...I interacted with the mirror entities 'Santa' and 'Satan' in a cave (you can't make this crap up )...ended up in France, then in Vietnam or Laos travelling through tunnels, to escape from...somebody? I think it had to do with Satan sending his agents after me...
  3. We had a random snowstorm that quickly passed through for just a couple hours this afternoon, clear before and after it. The moon is really pretty tonight.
  4. "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." -- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

  7. Depending on Neuralink's success, that may become difficult for a biological entity.../s I think we are fairly close to seeing NS ticket prices. They will certainly cause a stir...

  9. Ooof. As expected; this was a gamble, not a business model for colonizing another planet.

  11. -General Grievous actually said it first, chronologically.
  12. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural...
