Why are

there so many

songs about rainbows

and what's on the other side

rainbows are visions

but only illusions

and rainbows have nothing to hide

i can't stand it when I encounter ppl who believe in the following.

no, not when they believe in the following (cuz 99.9999% believes these) but when they try to defend their point ridiculously: free w

(ready?)

free will - it doesn't exist folks.

god - like the tooth fairy

indeterminism - puh-leeze, don't gemme started

oh yeah, I turn 22 today.

woah, crazy. Not like the number of rotations of the sun around the Earth really mattered. I'm neotenous in many ways and so I'm more around 17 and a half. We also live on different time scales. The more that goes on in your life the longer time is. Time is the distante between change. And so, we need a better index. I don't mean to put-down everybody else, but while everybody tells me that their lives are moving by faster, mine feels like its either staying constant or slowing down.

part of that is largely the consequence of numerous forces

one is my incessant tendency to become bored

second is my creative ability to resurrect myself from this boredom

and third is my knowledge of this concept of time-expansion

as a result of awl of dat, I try to make my days laden with as much novel situations as possible.

as a result, the days seem longer than ones where not much happens.

I picked up these ideas from Kurzweil's Age of Spiritual Machines
