I have been using the paid Chat GPT 4 for a bit now and I have to say that it has me thinking about the nature of intelligence, life and consciousness. I got it after I saw reports of it managing to pass the Turing test in 54% of tests, with humans passing in 67%… Continue reading Don’t Forget To Say Thanks To Your Chatbot

On Writing – My Phases
In my last post on writing “Recovering from Failure” I really dug into my thoughts on writing and my new-found love for it. I guess this post will be more of that but also kind of an explanation on what I have come to think of as my new phase of writing. Going back and… Continue reading On Writing – My Phases
Hunting: Meet your Meat
I recently told a new acquaintance that I spent so much time in the woods because I was out there hunting and then found myself in an all too familiar discussion explaining why I do it. In the modern world people are perplexed as to why someone would want to hunt for meat. Why someone… Continue reading Hunting: Meet your Meat
Dog spelt Backwards is God
I don’t know if that title is right, because they aren’t God’s in that they don’t demand worship or sacrifice. They don’t condemn humans to Hell and they would never demand us be subservient to them. They love us like a God would. The Christian New Testament God where he’s all forgiving and shit. That… Continue reading Dog spelt Backwards is God
Recovering From Failure
The title is a little dramatic, “failure” is a strong word. But I am returning to something I had given up on. This time it feels different, it feels right. It feels less dark and less tied to my self worth. I’m talking about my writing, I used to write, like a lot. I spent… Continue reading Recovering From Failure
Nothing Ever Happens
I have been hounded for the past few weeks by this feeling of impending doom. I want to just ignore it, discard it as merely a symptom of anxiety, but I can’t. I think it is tied to the fact that the weather has gone haywire and winter basically never happened. Maybe a part of… Continue reading Nothing Ever Happens
Voluntaryism – anarchy for all
Something I struggle to understand is why everyone needs to be told what they can and cannot do. Why everyone wants to simultaneously be told what to do and tell others what they can do. Why people feel the need to impose their will on others yet can’t even think for themselves. It sounds harsh… Continue reading Voluntaryism – anarchy for all
Never work for Nothing – Value your Skills
I will start this out by saying that it does not go against the utopia vision I presented in my podcast “Systems of Power: I’m Alive”. When I say don’t work for nothing I am not talking about acts of compassion or kindness or goodness. I have spent countless hours helping people with websites, computers, chores, moving etc. I love helping people and I expect nothing in return.
New Podcast episode – No Gods No Masters
This entry into the podcast is a kind of late introduction. Recorded tucked in a weird spot I also realized I need to better arrange a way to record these.
Long Distance Running is the Most Human Activity
I have finally returned to something I stopped a while back and that is running. Well, fitness in general.
