Haven't read any of those in an age. I liked it! Sentient wasps was fun, but a billion-year-old malevolent pseudo-virus that rapidly turned you into a military agent of an ancient and hugely destructive race was... less so.

The talking to Gods(or chairs or trees) bit is definitely the weirdest bit of psychosis because really you're only talking to yourself, and I've found I can kinda trick myself into revealing it's a psychotic episode by forcing revelation that my brain isn't prepared to fill in and it gets a bit obvious. Odd stuff, the mind.

It's not the same joke because, it's a more honest attempt to imagine a plausible scenario in which unconscious prejudice may manifest. Apache attack helicopter is obviously absurd. AI sentience is just ~~very unlikely~~ something that is not currently a prejudice we find ourselves exposed to and may speculate we'd end up being adverse to

Yeah, jeez, that sort of mechanophic language should be illegal

I like that song. Perhaps a perfect encapsulation of some specific part of the 60s mythos. I can only speculate.

As the father of a recently-diagnosed ADHD daughter... Stay strong 😅 it's still rewarding but there may be times where you're tempted to question your resolve

A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my 'car', it's a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money...
