Daft
as a frog. A distributed domain.
just something.
So you're still
nameless then?
I figured as much.
We're not having an argument are we?
No.
hmmmm?
They were fun those arguments....
They may have been
for you, but I was self righteously defending my principles.
Indeed. Have you
seen Third Person Singular lately?
Yes, She's always going around, I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet.
Oh, I was getting
this feeling of being watched.
Yeah she tends to inspire that. So what is your name if you're such an
avid defender of them?
Let me see, it used
to be The-voice-of-conscience but now I think it's go-away-I-can-deal-with-this-myself.
Pretty Zen no? I thought you'd like it.
Interesting yes, makes me want a name.
Really?
No, almost, but not quite. I've always though names as pointless, the only
reason people use them is make a false show of
constancy in their self's when really their isn't any at all. A name is
like the name of the folder all your files are stored in, or to be more
abstract, the doorknob to your house.
I don't think you
got the right feeling of change with your similes there, a better one would
be to say that naming people was naming a cubic metre of air in the sky.
True, but I don't think personalities change that much. I think a strange
attractor would model it better. The states of mind would never repeat,
but they wouldn't completely change, nor would the same person come from
different initial conditions.
Now that is a good
metaphor. How about children though? I suppose they would be between basins,
just testing the ones surrounding it.
I wouldn't say they
were fully human.
I would rather stay a child mentality, able to walk out of a basin into
a new personality.
Yeah, I know what
you mean, I don't like seeing Third Person Singular locking into a personality.
She's getting better we're pushing her into a different basin now, there's
not much time left though.
We did settle for
a compromise though, why I should think she looks like the Lorenz strange
attractor, with so different personalities.
True, We'll have to enlarge the non-conformist side.
Well that is your
job, you should get her to not take her shoes to school.
She wants to sure, I mean, I have managed to make her ideal Exccentricism.
But the world is getting to her.
It generally does.
Society hey, who's have it? It doesn't have good ancestry, just more selfish
genes at work.
That's probably one of the stupidities of human existence / sentience everything
was made by a predictable mechanism.
Everything?
Everything, even the will to live, it just boils down to a random mutation.
Those who want to survive do, those who realize the pointless of life without
resorting to a non logical mode of thought don't survive. Of course the
first cells could have realized this.
Non logical mode
of thought, you mean faith?
So being a complete
Darwinist you would have to say that the whole point of life is reproduction?
And it's exactly a high art is it? All T.P.S. has got to look forward to
is beauty, the joy of life, and death. But mainly death in her case. Apparently,
she's just trying to have fun.
She not really going
for it then is she? Not exactly a party animal is she?
Well, she says she finds learning great fun, but she goes about having
lots of fun very intensely.
How?
Well, she wants to have fun for a long time, and good fun at that, and
she doesn't want to have to cram all her fun into only a few years.
I should have known,
Genetic Engineer indeed.
Precisely. She's very sensitive to the long term situation. Can't have
fun with death hanging over her head.
A big change in
attitude since she was young then, back then it was scepticism that people
could possible be sacred of dying. Always asking her parents why the person
who a gun pointed at them didn't just pull the gunman's bluff.
Far too rational for her own good.
But you have to
be a little crazy to be a rational Evolutionist without having faith in
any God. Speaking of long names why don't you make her into a rational
Archanist.
