as I grew older I took more of an interest in those around me, as I suddenly found myself wanting to do things which involved others
at which point, I found my path blocked by adults & peers
my solution was always to go around them, as they couldn't be reasoned with, in my view
I never really struggled w/ the things he describes here, as I didn't feel bothered by others disagreements w/ me; I knew I was right and that was all that mattered. I did get in trouble often, but didn't understand why and didn't care, either
this became more of a problem in hs

many people find it difficult to grok cellular automata, specifically how complexity and richness of behavior can emerge from the iterated interactions of very simple rules. neural nets, being overgrown CA with exotic neighborhoods, are equally confusing to many.

Modern neural networks are probably more complicated than the linux kernel. Why should we expect explanations to be simple?

I've always felt like I can't think properly sitting still; my thoughts get stale, occupying the same volume of space. having sucked the novelty marrow from it, I need to relocate to think straight.
moving my mind thru physical space is like stepping into a cool stream

The internet is supposed to contain the collective knowledge of mankind but you can’t find basic shit on it. I’m trying to find out how I can change the background color on pages. All the information is out of date. The tutorial on Apple’s own website? two years out of date.

in a healthy society her husband would be socially ostracized for having cuckolded himself like this. incredibly shameful behavior; the aggressor should have been on the floor immediately after
