congrats to c elegans for being the first physical organism to transcend from genetic to memetic reproduction

I owe so much to this lowly nematode, it being my goto exemplar of the feasibility of human ems

it's difficult to explain to an uninitiate the nigh-religious reverence I hold for computation in its various forms; that which it is possible to achieve with the help of computers, the incredible abilities they grant those willing to learn their ways

this makes me feel things

this framing posits God as a retrocausal hyperobject existing outside of time, an avatar for the abstraction of the Just Universe itself; God does not hear prayers in realtime, but by virtue of its very existence; as such, each act of prayer HAS ALREADY been taken into account

this game defined a good bit of my childhood

remember much more about it than the rest of my elementary school experience, learned more from it about logic and problem solving than any teacher taught me
