Yeah, this is what I think too.

You are in parallel rn. All your cells are independent living beings all doing their thing. They might be part of structures, tissues, or-gans. Each one alone is not you. Almost all cells are completely unaware of the majority of the other cells. A cell in the muscle fiber in your foot has no awareness of a cell in the retina of your eye. In fact, none of the cells have any real awareness. But when they all act in parallel, you come about. Imagine that, but with all life. Maybe there’s an emergence that comes from that.

What if we’re all different parts of the same thing, so no one really dies. You instead get absorbed back into the big life thing, things get rearranged, and life comes up somewhere else with a little bit of you and a bunch of other stuff mixed in? There is no death. Just a new mix.

So you believe in it even though you don’t?

I like to think that all matter in the universe eventually comes together in one supermassive black hole and somewhere in that matter soup, another big bang happens.

Why do you like to think that?

You can melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating for the twenty-four karat friendship that I felt for Luz Long at that moment.

What a bad ass

Congrats! I’m excited to see your upcoming posts on distro hopping.

It has been my experience that the best persona to use at work is one of no humanity. Be a corporate robot. When you walk in those doors, kill any sense of emotion. Look at everything logically. Make no friends. Focus on the tasks that your performance is measured. Leave no room for misinterpretation.

Most people are cool, but some are hunting for opportunities. Don’t give those people any opportunities.

I think that what happened with the Boeing 737-MAX crashing was that they had a sensor that if it got stuck, the software was programed to make the plane pitch down, even overriding the pilot’s own input. That resulted in the deaths of 346 people.

If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going.
