I find it very funny that this got recommended to me after I just finished working on the prologue on a webcomic. lmfao.

The problem of smashing the incentive to make money and exist in this hellscape with intellectual growth/progress and capability.

People really can't imagine a world where "A good job" doesn't matter, can they?

I'm ever so quickly learning how to use a guitar and music production after a decade of not doing anything related to music (was a jazz sax player). Partially because of how bad the economy is.

A true recession indicator.

I can't get past the visualization of Doc Brown going back in time because it was the only way to make sure Katie Wilson got elected.

Just don't go too far or else they'll give up and shrink away lol

That all being said, if I could create locally a digital clone of myself based on MRIs, EEG, and enough recorded data to out compete the base layer of training, and if that clone of myself knew what it was, I would be okay with it, and with you all talking to it.

Nor would i use this to bring back anyone I've lost. When I was a young child, I thought my dead grandmother was talking to me through a video tape she left behind. In hindsight, she made preparations. Three minutes is not enough preparation to create a visage of what you once were. >

We were in such an exciting place with breakthroughs everywhere on the cusp. I am so furious at this criminal derailment of our hopes.
