Slogan I came up with today (a little bit Baptist) โBibi Bibi Burn in Hell. It is right to Rebel!โ
A recent study about jellyfish found that even species that only have about a thousand neurons are capable of conceptualizing past experiences and adapting their behavior. These are animals that barely have a brain, and even they are entirely aware that they have a life and wish to live it comfortably. I like jellyfish, the little baby ones you can see at an aquarium are cute.
A human being has 100 billion neurons. We are like galaxies compared to that jellyfish. We hold emergent mental processes in our heads that can conceive of things beyond our own lives, beyond our own times, beyond time itself. And there are other humans willing to snuff all of that out by just firing a rocket, just to keep from feeling a little discomfort, to avoid some guilt.
thoughts on China Miรฉville?
He is a surprisingly fun writer to read, not just because heโs a pretty overt commie. He is really good with imagery; he can paint a picture in your head, which is useful for the pretty unique qualities of his kooky sci fi. Perdido Street Station was bursting at the seams with great pulpy ideas that refreshed a very stale genre for me.
(I have heard some unpleasant things about him being emotionally abusive to his ex though. If you donโt like having to separate the art from the artist you might want to keep that in mind.
So the โReturn Youtube Dislikesโ extension is currently broken. There is no doubt in my mind that this is related to the Israel-Palestine situation. Someone important told YouTube to make sure the masses canโt get an accurate read on how unpopular the propaganda is.
