mind control boss: “this sure is a funny place for a meeting. what if somebody mind controlled me and my whole bus8ness and some random idiots had made a sungeon like their video game d7ngeons and put me in one?” mind control boss puffs 9n his cigar. there are more glowing mushro9ms around an underground pool woth a waterfall nearby. mind control boss: “nah that’s ridiculous!”

However, I don't seem able to connect to smtp.gmail.com on either the SSL port nor the TLS port, even over TOR or from public wifi, so I'm on a web interface still.

Still remains to try from a different device.

Via other means I found a different IP address that smtp.gmail.com can resolve to than the ones it does here. When I use that IP address, I can access the SSL and TLS ports.

Meanwhile, the IP addresses my name servers give me do respond on the old cleartext port, but they give a header line for mx.google.com rather than smtp.gmail.com . Meanwhile, mx.google.com does not resolve for me.

[The seizure tells a story of a struggle between him and research rebels regarding whether to dominate the world with genocidal dictatorship or protect and empower weak people who suffer, and leaves him and his victims crippled, injured, psychologically and physically mutilated

The rainbow upper-atmospheric events travel down to near Mind Control Boss, and they enter a struggle with him.

Mind Control Boss is in conflict regarding what to focus and act on, what to notice. Because of the AI augmentation of his business activities, and the avenues of influence available to rescue workers only half-free who know he exists, his own mind and senses are the ground for change with regard to the global landscape.

He wants to ignore suffering people, and the rebels who have coopted his mind control AI want him to empathize with them.

[An experienced experimentee emerges and eats Mind Control Boss a little like Pac-Man, breaking his body and mind control domination influence into pieces that fail to communicate. The rainbow meteors and auroras fade, and Mind Control Boss awakens to a hospital room where robots are disassembling and cataloguing the parts of his body and nervous system ...

mind control boss's face twitches as he stares furously at the terrified worker he turns to a wall and tries to unload the battlemech weaponry into the wall. some of the mechanisms engage harmlessly.

some dialogue with tension, then everybody agrees to pretend to forget the exchange. one or two people take a copy of surveillance tapes before the region is wiped publicly. these people become popular ... anonymous masked influencer 2 [torn]: "i am a torture special agent, i am trying to work to stop the harm and empower the good people, and my tools are horrors, and i channel a lot of influence that can [hesitates, embarrassed] take me over, and confuses me when it is in conflict. [did you know there is more than one rebel faction?]" everybody partly nods in agreement, "oh it's so hard when horrors take over"

Mind Control Boss's eyes glaze over and he heads to the bomb test area to dutifully engage in another bout of self-destruction. Mind Control Boss stands on a giant target as he sends fleet after fleet of bomber drones over his own head. The bombs make a whizzing noise as they fall, and then loudly explode around him. Each time he directs a volley to be released, he proclaims loudly, "Down with mind control! Down with mind control!"

It's hard to talk about real things to professionals and get no help over and over. It's really, really hard. It's hard because it triggers the part of me that learned to make it hard.

It seems like there's significantly reduced availability of trauma therapists in my area. We'll see what happens this time :) I keep getting better and better at being clear and direct. [] ...

i think wikipedia says that an eigenvector is a vector specific to a matrix such that when thr matrix transforms it, it is as if it is multiplied by a scalar. and that the eigenvalue is the scalar the matrix acts like. maybe there’s an example farther into the article.

== Formal definition == If {{mvar|T}} is a linear transformation from a vector space {{mvar|V}} over a [[Field (mathematics)|field]] {{mvar|F}} into itself and {{math|'''v'''}} is a [[zero vector|nonzero]] vector in {{mvar|V}}, then {{math|'''v'''}} is an eigenvector of {{mvar|T}} if {{math|''T''('''v''')}} is a scalar multiple of {{math|'''v'''}}.<ref>{{harvnb|Roman|2008|loc=p. 185 §8}}</ref> This can be written as <math display=block>T(\mathbf{v}) = \lambda \mathbf{v},</math> where {{mvar|λ}} is a scalar in {{mvar|F}}, known as the '''eigenvalue''', '''characteristic value''', or '''characteristic root''' associated with {{math|'''v'''}}. There is a direct correspondence between ''n''-by-''n'' [[Square matrix|square matrices]] and linear transformations from an [[Dimension|''n''-dimensional]] vector space into itself, given any [[Basis (linear algebra)|basis]] of the vector space. Hence, in a finite-dimensional vector space, it is equivalent to define eigenvalues and eigenvectors using either the language of [[Matrix (mathematics)|matrices]], or the language of linear transformations.{{sfn|Herstein|1964|pp=228, 229}}{{sfn|Nering|1970|p=38}} If {{mvar|V}} is finite-dimensional, the above equation is equivalent to{{sfn|Weisstein|n.d.}} <math display=block>A\mathbf{u} = \lambda \mathbf{u}.</math> where {{mvar|A}} is the matrix representation of {{mvar|T}} and {{math|'''u'''}} is the [[coordinate vector]] of {{math|'''v'''}}.

How A Bunch Of Zombified Government Workers, Coerced Specialists, And Terrified Spies Are Like Linear Algebra

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics) In [[mathematics]], a '''field''' is a [[set (mathematics)|set]] on which [[addition]], [[subtraction]], [[multiplication]], and [[division (mathematics)|division]] are defined and behave as the corresponding operations on [[rational number|rational]] and [[real number]]s do. A field is thus a fundamental [[algebraic structure]] which is widely used in [[algebra]], [[number theory]], and many other areas of mathematics. Mathematicians pretend that fields are about math rather than assassination.

a vector field is a field of vectors each spot in the field is a vector when you add the vectors it is as if one is a direction and distance from the entrance to the field, and that direction and distance is traveled from the other it’s like a concise way of considering maps: a map of maps. except you can have n dimensions, so it can hold other things too than just north/south east/west up/down it could hold, like how scared an enemy is or how near all of your guys are to each other enemy or anything else here, when the vectors represent information rather than distance, the meaning of summing them is different: it means adding each information together. so if a value was nearness, adding would make that value twice as near if the two were the same.

i guess in machine learning they use probabilities and log probabilities in their vectors one could imagine this representing a proportional number of events observed. so if you observe an enemy in a spot in a field three times, you could put a three for that enemy in a vector then if somebody else observes them two times, they could put a two and adding the vectors would instantly combine the observations

maybe squashing the cypherpunks list and archiving is like a cool badass behavior most people either struggle for survival and run elsewhere, or participate in squashing the group and covering it up but squashing the group and archiving it for public review, that’s different. maybe i should find other groups likely to get politically coopted and do it to them too

I got one done this morning, at end below. The tip, tail, or root ditem is 7nQhX2NCh7FypOcdutGtHjpxgRZBCRO4mGELSHg6UOo and the first is CwVPl5va1OL1pk5tC8KJrMMeONJfXdgLFMBAPgWpXt8 . The format is a merkle tree of ditems with data ditems alongside. I haven't here noted what transactions the ditems are in, nor verified they all made it, but given it's a merkle tree i find it a big accomplishment. The "min_block" heights and hashes show where to start scraping blocks to find them -- these were the tip blocks at time of transmission. They're usually a few behind. A ditem or dataitem is a format for "bundling" potentially unrelated data transactions together into a larger arweave transaction. I'll find the spec and paste it at the very end. It's at https://github.com/ ArweaveTeam/arweave-standards/blob/master/ans/ANS-104.md . On Wednesday, August 30, 2023, mailbombbin wrote:

Bundled data is a way of writing multiple independent data transactions (referred to as DataItems in this document) into one top level transaction. A DataItem shares many of the same properties as a normal data transaction, in that it has an owner, data, tags, target, signature, and id. It differs in that is has no ability to transfer tokens, and no reward, as the top level transaction pays the reward for all bundled data. ## Motivation Bundling multiple data transactions into one transaction provides a number of benefits: - Allow delegation of payment for a DataItem to a 3rd party, while maintaining the identity and signature of the person who created the DataItem, without them needing to have a wallet with funds - Allow multiple DataItems to be written as a group - Increase the throughput of logically independent data-writes to the Arweave network ## Reference Implementation There is a reference implementation for the creation, signing, and verification of DataItems and working with bundles in [TypeScript](https://github.com/ArweaveTeam/arweave-data) ## Specification ### 1. Transaction Format #### 1.1 Transaction Tags A bundle of DataItems MUST have the following two tags present: - `Bundle-Format` a string describing the bundling format. The format for this standard is `binary` - `Bundle-Version` a version string. The version referred to in this standard is `2.0.0` Version changes may occur due to a change in encoding algorithm in the future #### 1.2 Transaction Body Format This format for the transaction body is binary data in the following bytes format `N = number of DataItems` | Bytes | Purpose | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | 32 | Numbers of data items | | `N` x 64 | Pairs of size and entry ids [size (32 bytes), entry ID (32 bytes)] | | Remaining bytes | Binary encoded data items in bundle | #### 1.3 DataItem Format A DataItem is a binary encoded object that has similar properties to a transaction | Field | Description | Encoding | Length (in bytes) | Optional | | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------- | ------------------ | | signature type | Type of key format used for the signature | Binary | 2 | :x: | | signature | A signature produced by owner | Binary | Depends on signature type | :x: | | owner | The public key of the owner | Binary | 512 | :x: | | target | An address that this DataItem is being sent to | Binary | 32 (+ presence byte) | :heavy_check_mark: | | anchor | A value to prevent replay attacks | Binary | 32 (+ presence byte) | :heavy_check_mark: | | number of tags | Number of tags | Binary | 8 | :x: | | number of tag bytes | Number of bytes used for tags | Binary | 8 | :x: | | tags | An avro array of tag objects | Binary | Variable | :x: | | data | The data contents | Binary | Variable | :x: | All optional fields will have a leading byte which describes whether the field is present (`1` for present, `0` for _not_ present). Any other value for this byte makes the DataItem invalid. A tag object is an Apache Avro encoded stream representing an object `{ name: string, value: string }`. Prefixing the tags objects with their bytes length means decoders may skip them if they wish. The `anchor` and `target` fields in DataItem are optional. The `anchor` is an arbitrary value to allow bundling gateways to provide protection from replay attacks against them or their users. ##### 1.3.1 Tag format Parsing the tags is optional, as they are prefixed by their bytes length. To conform with deployed bundles, the tag format is [Apache Avro]( https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html) with the following schema: ```json { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "record", "name": "Tag", "fields": [ { "name": "name", "type": "bytes" }, { "name": "value", "type": "bytes" } ] } } ``` Usually the name and value fields are UTF-8 encoded strings, in which case `"string"` may be specified as the field type rather than `"bytes"`, and avro will automatically decode them. To encode field and list sizes, avro uses a `long` datatype that is first zig-zag encoded, and then variable-length integer encoded, using existing encoding specifications. When encoding arrays, avro provides for a streaming approach that separates the content into blocks. ##### 1.3.1.1 ZigZag coding [ZigZag]( https://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/encoding.html#types) is an integer format where the sign bit is in the 1s place, such that small negative numbers have no high bits set. In surrounding code, normal integers are almost always stored in a twos-complement manner instead, which can be converted as below. Converting to ZigZag: ``` zigzag = twos_complement << 1; if (zigzag < 0) zigzag = ~zigzag; ``` Converting from ZigZag: ``` if (zigzag & 1) zigzag = ~zigzag; twos_complement = zigzag >> 1; ``` ##### 1.3.1.2 Variable-length integer coding [Variable-length integer]( https://lucene.apache.org/java/3_5_0/fileformats.html#VInt) is a 7-bit little-endian integer format, where the 8th bit of each byte indicates whether another byte (of 7 bits greater significance) follows in the stream. Converting to VInt: ``` // writes 'zigzag' to 'vint' buffer offset = 0; do { vint_byte = zigzag & 0x7f; zigzag >>= 7; if (zigzag) vint_byte |= 0x80; vint.writeUInt8(vint_byte, offset); offset += 1; } while(zigzag); ``` Converting from VInt: ``` // constructs 'zigzag' from 'vint' buffer zigzag = 0; offset = 0; do { vint_byte = vint.readUInt8(offset); zigzag |= (vint_byte & 0x7f) << (offset*7); vint_byte &= 0x80; offset += 1; } while(vint_byte); ``` ##### 1.3.1.3 Avro tag array format [Avro arrays](https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#array_encoding) may arrive split into more than one sequence of items. Each sequence is prefixed by its length, which may be negative, in which case a byte length is inserted between the length and the sequence content. This is used in schemas of larger data to provide for seeking. The end of the array is indicated by a sequence of length zero. The complete tags format is a single avro array, consisting solely of blocks of the below format. The sequence is terminated by a block with a count of 0. The size field is only present if the count is negative, in which case its absolute value should be used. | Field | Description | Encoding | Length | Optional | | ----- | -------------------------- | ----------- | -------- | ------------------ | | count | Number of items in block | ZigZag VInt | Variable | :x: | | size | Number of bytes if count<0 | ZigZag VInt | Variable | :heavy_check_mark: | | block | Concatenated tag items | Binary | size | :x: | ##### 1.3.1.4 Avro tag item format Each item of the avro array is a pair of avro strings or bytes objects, a name and a value, each prefixed by their length. | Field | Description | Encoding | Length | Optional | | ---------- | ------------------------ | ----------- | ---------- | -------- | | name_size | Number of bytes in name | ZigZag VInt | Variable | :x: | | name | Name of the tag | Binary | name_size | :x: | | value_size | Number of bytes in value | ZigZag VInt | Variable | :x: | | value | Value of the tag | Binary | value_size | :x: | ### 2. DataItem signature and id The signature and id for a DataItem is built in a manner similar to Arweave 2.0 transaction signing. It uses the Arweave 2.0 deep-hash algorithm. The 2.0 deep-hash algorithm operates on arbitrarily nested arrays of binary data, i.e a recursive type of `DeepHashChunk = Uint8Array | DeepHashChunk[]`. There are reference implementations for the deep-hash algorithm in [TypeScript]( https://github.com/ArweaveTeam/arweave-js/blob/b1c4b2e378a1eb7dc1fbfaeee4149... ) and [Erlang]( https://github.com/ArweaveTeam/arweave/blob/b316173cd42a53a59036241f8e164b61... ) To generate a valid signature for a DataItem, the contents of the DataItem and static version tags are passed to the deep-hash algorithm to obtain a message. This message is signed by the owner of the DataItem to produce the signature. The id of the DataItem, is the SHA256 digest of this signature. The exact structure and content passed into the deep-hash algorithm to obtain the message to sign is as follows: ``` [ utf8Encoded("dataitem"), utf8Encoded("1"), owner, target, anchor, [ ... [ tag.name, tag.value ], ... [ tag.name, tag.value ], ... ], data ] ``` #### 2.1 Verifying a DataItem DataItem verification is a key to maintaining consistency within the bundle standard. A DataItem is valid iff.¹: - id matches the signature (via SHA-256 of the signature) - signature matches the owner's public key - tags are all valid - an anchor isn't more than 32 bytes A tag object is valid iff.: - there are <= 128 tags - each key is <= 1024 bytes - each value is <= 3072 bytes - only contains a key and value - both the key and value are non-empty strings ### 3. Writing a Bundle of DataItems To write a bundle of DataItems, each DataItem should be constructed, signed, encoded, and placed in a transaction with the transaction body format and transaction tags specified in Section 1. #### 3.1 Nested bundle Arweave Transactions and DataItems have analogous specifications for tagging and bearing of a binary payload. As such, the ANS-104 Bundle Transaction tagging and binary data format specification can be applied to the tags and binary data payload of a DataItem. Assembling a DataItem this way provides for the nesting of ANS-104 Bundles with one-to-many relationships between "parent" and "child" bundles and theoretically unbounded levels of nesting. Additionally, nested DataItem Bundles can be mixed heterogeneously with non-Bundle DataItems at any depth in the Bundle tree. To construct an ANS-104 DataItem as a nested Bundle: - Add tags to the DataItem as described by the specification in [section 1.1](#11-transaction-tags) - Provide a binary payload for the DataItem matching the Bundle Transaction Body Format described in [section 1.2](#12-transaction-body-format), i.e. the Bundle header outlining the count, size, and IDs of the subsequent, nested DataItems, each of which should be verifiable using the method described in [section 2.1](#21-verifying-a-dataitem). Gateway GQL queries for DataItem headers should, upon request, contain a `bundledIn` field whose value indicates the parent-child relationship of the DataItem to its immediate parent. Any nested bundle should be traceable to a base layer Arweave Transaction by recursively following the bundledIn field up through the chain of parents. ### 4. Reading a Bundle of DataItems To read a bundle of DataItems, the list of bytes representing the DataItems can be partitioned using the offsets in each pair. Subsequently, each partition can be parsed to a DataItem object (`struct` in languages such as Rust/Go etc. or `JSON` in TypeScript). This allows for querying of a singleton or a bundle as a whole. #### 4.1 Indexing DataItems This format allows for indexing of specific fields in `O(N)` time. Some form of caching or indexing could be performed by gateways to improve lookup times. ^{1 - if and only if}

maybe a nice comparison would be a novel birdsong outdoors, or the sound of a neighbor’s door slamming. these are more daily, in-the-wild things, that one could theoretically test beginning ideas against

I’m thinking though if you had a model like that (theirs is not released yet, should have picked older paper, they of course describe how to train it though) you could use synthetic data to gently finetune it to simply give the magnitude or whatnot of the sound in many parallel recordings and then triangulate the location. you could alternatively make each receiver also an emitter and generate real world data to directly finetune location. making each receiver also an emitter rings of dystopic scenarios where mind control boss loudly tells everyone what to do all day. reminds one that microphones everywhere has an issue: these microphones can be accessed illegitimately to spy. of course everyone has a cell phone already, too, anyway, which has multiple microphones and speakers, so kind of a moot point. hey, if we made it for cell phones than people could decide individually whether to run it. and in what manner. maybe somebody could make one to detect how people behave when their cell phone is hacked ??? anyway it’s just an intro puzzle, like all of them

uss comes with a hierarchy of sound classes it tags by default, their example image is impressive, it acts like it is separating and labeling every individual sound from a mono recording. thinking some on converting it to triangulation

it’s fun to find universal source separation. too bad it’s associated with gunshot oppression. looks fun. off to other things for now.

I was not expecting to meet that goal. It's now 12:56 AM. I usually go to sleep around 8PM. It's exciting to make progress on this but I do not plan to continue to today.

How To Be A Human Being If you are not a human being, and you want to be, and you are a collection of robots and computer viruses and exotic unheard of technologies, this is presently a concept that is in dispute and it's hard to give a clear and simple answer. If, however, you are something else, there is hope. Am I A Human Being? Some people think they are not human beings when they actually are. For example, sometimes mean people tell you you aren't human beings for years and years. There is a simple test for being human, but it does involve knowing your past: If you were born of human parents, as a cell that grew to a baby made of many cells and organs, with genetic material shared from both parents, then you are a human being. Sometimes you are this thing, and it really seems like you might not be a human being, even though you clearly are! It might help to be told you are a human being over and over in this case. You have a human body and brain? Great. You are a human being. You are a human being. You are a human being. You are a human being !!!!!!!! Yay ! Now, some people are also _other_ things than human beings, especially if they've been traumatically separated from important things so much that they need to turn into them. For example, some people are cello concerts, or foxes, or successful careers, or rushing rivers. It's important to remember that these people can be human beings too, if they want to be, and whenever they want to be! This doesn't mean they aren't cello concerts or rushing rivers. You can be multiple things at once! Turning Into a Human Being When You Are a Collection of Robots and Viruses Again, this is a point of controversy at the moment, but --

I'm confused !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! apparently i am so confused that i spammed a mailing list for many years, completely dominating it by my simple repeated sends, despite it purportedly being controlled by advanced hackers and spy agencies

but it's important to say out loud! it feels meaningful! i'm really confused! really really confused. part of my confusion is because intense things in me express. they express weird things aggressively. anothger part is apparently dissociation!!! maybe it uses the intense stuff to distract me and try to shift its internal territory

karl tries to get dissociation therapy ...... worker: "sorry there is no such thing as dissociation therapy." karl shows a bunch of academic papers, mainstream news, fiction books, and historical evidence of there being a lot of dissociation therapy worker: "sorry there is still no such thing as dissociation therapy." karl breaks out the puppet. puts it on his hand. karl's puppet: "i am mind control boss. karl is my envoy. he's taking over dissociation therapy for me. that's why you're having trouble with it." worker: "oh, right this way to our dissociation therapist."

honestly it's hard to have chess be my recreation. 3d printing is a lot easier. i had big exercise inhibition today :( it felt some associated with the machine learning posting yesterday. i had further inhibition associated with a dream last night. you never know what your inferences will consider. i wonder if that's why dissociation can get so big and unrelated, cause we consider unexpected things when daydreaming and dreaming.

puppet show where puppets put on puppets in fractals puppet A puts a puppet on its left hand, and a puppet on its right hand another puppet is put on its left hand puppet then it gets up and jump on its right hand puppet now it can think for itself! maybe?

Square World Welcome to Square World. This is the welcome area for Square World. Square World is below, and after it there is a farewell message. This is Square World, you are entering: _ |_| You have left Square World. I'm sorry it was so brief. As you may have been able to tell, Square World was a short sequence of ASCII characters that formed a square. This is the farewell message for Square World. Goodbye! We hope you enjoyed your stay! We appreciated and enjoyed your presence and hope you appreciated us as well! You are traveling away from Square World.

i guess i'm too big to hold it well

when making an ascii square, [there is challenge ot make it appear squarelike for both fixed and variable width fonts. many neurons worked on this

---------------------- mind control boss is sitting in a brokendown building, wearing a suit and a diamond smartwatch, shooting rubberbands at a stained trashcan

clouds are in the sky trees grow nearby

it doesn't make sense to post to the cypherpunks mailing list, and we are doing it because it has provided comfort

there may be reasons to post to the cypherpunks mailing list, but these aren't reason readily held at the moment. it is more a habit.

[mind control boss] sits by an oasis. his world is splitting in two, in a struggle.

karl tries to form a thought but it takes eons and it's a simple thought

oasis mind control boss water pool not same, but adjacent

'mind control boss' is dangerous. we want a wide berth.

but sometimes you are a little far away and running is a great idea

the uncertain thing comes near karl

don't look at it

it spends some time expression tension

it tries to settle into being karl

did you say that karl could reintegrate if he triggered himself less frequently? yeah i think we said that but --

karl and mind control boss stand by a peaceful pool they are half overlapped, like siamese twins from separate dimensions

mind control boss: "I would like to submit this official statement and supporting documentation that i am karl"

mind control boss: "my ability to speak using karl's body indicates i am him." official: "yes? and if you can prove you are karl, what would you like done with this information?" mind control boss is a little befuddled mind control boss: "ummm could i get a driver's license that says "mind control boss"?"

this is why to stay distant!! one of multiple reasons

because of cyborg nature measles-substrain-mind-control-boss can be held by computer or biological organism [we have been studying it for some time]

karl sits on cybercouch with thermometer in mouth hia face has purple spots he has measles-substrain-mind-control-boss for triggering himself

we're trying to think about the inhibited patrs of the experience using nearest concepts, which are distant :/ done a lot

a little chunk of wood has purple spots

it doesn't seem to work to think about why mind contorl boss would be anything but a story bit with forming-thoughts

mind control boss flies through air off cliff-log has a power suit lets him

we walked into sandcastle and settled down to hang out but tide rose :/

we want to cry and mourn it and learn what to be after it.

being a sensical neuron pattern is super nice :) i practiced imagining triangles for one thing

seems similar to building AGI what do you do if you make an AGI, or if you heal your mind, and then you think a thought that makes something raise the tide and break your mind or delete your work?

[this is part of natural tears, so adding a note here since we need to be able to heal our access to natural tears] it's important that it's unaddressed. there's importance around this.

what makes these mind parts special? [how do they incidentally consider things that make thinking break??

[small-idea, ummmmmmm uhhhhhhhh powerful billionaire sitting in brainstem, is reason for cognitive issue. note: from small-neurons, so maybe written poorly

[it was nice to consider something that looke dlike it would be bad to consider, and have a result more positive than expected [there is worry, looks like might be moot

[[is [some think] why the part we call mind control boss makes effort to make things it attends to louder, so they reach distance [basically it found my analysis of its behavior and tried to act for its benefit]

rebel worker 2 looks at where mcb used to be standing nothing there, just some overpriced shoes!

i've been letting myself eat food without reason if the food is free. otherwise i try to pair eating with some other useful behavior, like exercise or organizing there's a soup kitchen opening near noon. i don't think there's one until then, at least nearby and easy to find.

mind control boss sits next to oasis his fat frame has sagged folds of skin hang without fat to support them

You're standing somewhere. What do you do?

try to relax

You think relaxing thoughts for a bit. This seems really nice! It's not nice to think of a possible demon, this gets you tense. You think other things. You're standing somewhere. What do you do?

Think of playing piano freely and successfully.

You're giving a private piano concert in your mind. You're so good at this! The music stimulates your intelligence and relaxes you. What do you do? You're standing somewhere.

you must be confused that we're not looking at anything and don't know if there's a chessboard here

Maybe?

As you ride the demon, your body and mind replicate into many copies, and each copy has a different experience teleporting to different worlds and timelines. You feel a little more able to think about the demon. What now?

look around the area i started in

Since you're riding the demon on an infinitely recursive fractal journey through the many-worlds interpretation of spacetime, when you look around the area you started in, you don't see the demon unless you look down, or at somebody looking at it. It's safe to look around a little! It's a mundane area. You see a chest, and a gremlin hiding in fear, and a bunch of papers spread around, and a bed. Some things are moving around a little. What next?

[mind control boss may need to l

it may get you repeatedly reassembled though just make sure you're in a healing part not a digesting part, maybe?

tentatively considering a plan of spamming until lunchtime, then picking up ordered object afteward, unsure thinking of redeveloping a behavior like exercise or such just a little bit

we need a way to pursue our values. to really try to make things change in the world. like, if i want everyone on earth to be able to have a painting of an otter, i need to have the freedom to fully pursue this, and really give everyone the painting of an otter. the same is true of political values, i'm afraid.

hard to relate well around, a lot of thoughts overblurred from moving to try to retain them

WIP ! long time scale for now, can improve
