the end goal of this exploration is, ofc, to maximally compress your conceptual structures, to achieve the most efficient representation of your world-model; the simpler it is, the more powerful & generalizable, and hence a that much more useful tool

glad to see kids with common sense and the ability to take a step back from the object level to consider the abstract. mind you I'm strongly pro vax but fuck you @jack don't tell us what we can and can't say

have you ever been in a friend group where the vast majority of conversations are of this mode? hyperactively pattern matching pop culture references, blurring out tangents w/ little attempt to relate them back to the previous topic? some call it dolphin brain, a rather apt term
my favorite yoga teacher likes to say during the more difficult asana that "pain is a message your body sends to your mind", & you can choose what to do w/ that message; react instinctively, or dismiss it, reassuring your body you know what you're doing, that you're not in danger

green pill would allow me to start an uploading business by eating brains and recreating them digitally
I'd use the massive profits to cure my inevitable kuru
only problem would be scaling and uploading myself but I'm sure we'd figure it out with time

a phenomenological interpretation would suggest that during an intentionally-triggered dissociative trance state she reified the Allah egregore as a tulpa, attempted to forcibly terminate it & was mildly traumatized by her inability to do so. don't fuck around w tulpas, kids.

in the digital ecology, as attention is sought rather than avoided, mimicry is used for a different purpose; the mimic imitates the form of an attention-attractor, a simulacra, lacking the internal structure of the original. it is a parasite, feeding off the semantic similarity.

the domain of optimization, broadly, entails "finding the most efficient way to satisfy all your constraints"
there's room for improvement in domain modeling, dimensional analysis, optimization strategy, etc. many ways to get better at solving problems!
all you gotta do is try
L-systems can be leveraged not just for well-known algorithmic constructs, but as an exploratory tool to generate cool-looking imagery from simple rules
here is something I iteratively arrived on, reminiscent of spiral phyllotaxis, ie the arrangement of leaves on a succulent
