there is a book, dead men can't complain, by Peter Clines. In it there is a story about someone meeting a creature through near death experiences... It does not go well. The moments before death are the most terrifying.

um... actually... The halting problem? you know... the entire point of conceptualizing a hyper-Turing machine in the first place, the key difference between a hyper-Turing machine and a Turing machine is the solvability of the Turing machin

Okay, let me see if I can explain it this way. Thoughts are nothing but a chemical reaction happening in your brain. Some thoughts (That are worth having IMO) are impossible to have without a chemical catalyst. Without certain chemicals, yo

Hey there… I’m doing something a little weird. I started off writing and then a while ago I learned how to code, this project I’m combining the two. So it is a ‘digital book’, incorporating JavaScript into the narrative. It’s also open sour

There are frameworks that have lying as axiomatically evil. But to be consistent - a painful truth must be preferable to a rewarding lie. To live a lie free life is to invite pain, and to view that pain as both functional and necessary - it

Such a concept could use an example to solidify that point. If I have a function Foo that adds two numbers together. How is that represented in lisp (as a list you say?)? How would one alter that function/lisp-list: to multiply numbers

Buzzwords, key phrases... I.E. 'hooks'. Thoughts don't only compete along the vector of truthfulness, they also compete along the vector of stickiness. I predict an acceleration in this tactic (and others) in most media going

Comments like this make me excited about the book I'm currently writing (hopefully the nail on the head at the tip of the zeitgeist), egregores and tulpas are primary concepts/characters.

pedantically, I find alcohol use disorder more accurate to my internal definition of condition and disease. What we call things matter: as even slight changes in wording affect how people perceive things - so great care should be use when d
