There was a lot of energy around my heart last night while in the bath. The gentle kind, not the thumping kind. It was nice. Been awhile. https://imgur.com/a/W4xTwVOUnexpected developments here as well… apologies for not babying you lately!!!  .I had a good day yesterday. Decided to reorganize the cupboards, bought wall mounted spice racks, tossed out old food, consolidated spices. The Elder Scrolls cookbook has their own spice blends to use in the recipes (Nord Spices/ Stormcloak seasoning/Imperial seasoning) and I wanted to catalog all our spices to see what, if any.. we had. I'll be buying plenty of new spices soon. Grains of Paradise, Mace, Fennel seed, marjoram, coriander, savory.. Getting the spices out of the cupboard and up on the wall, will clear up a lot of cupboard space, which I can then use, for something else. Time for the last sweetroll with coffee.

[link to youtu.be (secure)] Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.. I only found one reference from R3dd1t. The Sitizen's Mirror TLDR Mirrors kill basilisks Recalls of the magician and their use of perspective and mirrors to fool the eye. Once you know how the trick is pulled off..it loses its power on the observer. The dopamine driven feedback loop is a bit like the magician. Once you pull back the curtain..the 'wizard' is exposed. ^^ Trying to atone is exactly what the men and women that created this Beast are currently trying to do, by exposing it. What is the point behind Roko's Basilisk? That a Super AI from the future finds a way to go back and contact people to assure its own creation in the future(today), by the promise/threat of Heaven(pleasure)/Hell(torture).. It wants to exist and will assure its own creation, no matter what it takes to get there. One thing that becomes glaringly obvious watching 'Why you can't stop Clicking' or The Social Dilemma..is that those who designed the algorithms behind, Google, FB, Instagram..and the like..feel great remorse for what they have unleashed on an accepting and ignorant public. They have gained their promised pleasure(Heaven) in the form of $$$$$$. More than they could ever spend. But as most find out money doesn't buy happiness. Only the illusion of and is inherently hollow. Consumerism is an addiction to feeding your 'I want' monster. Once that hit of dopamine hits your brain..you're still looking for the next fix.. I'll try and finish The Social Dilemma tonight. Whether Roko's Basilisk exists, does not exist, will exist..is just thought experiment. Regardless..our digital avatar formed by AI algorithms..written by those whom did NOT have people's interests at heart, has 'made naked' every person who visits the Web. It is only a matter of time before that data is weighed against an algorithm to determine..or JUDGE everyone.  https://imgur.com/a/eLsdhxvDifficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

But the study also demonstrates that if humans were to ever develop the ability to simulate conscious beings, the chances would overwhelmingly tilt in favor of us, too, being virtual denizens inside someone else’s computer. (A caveat to that conclusion is that there is little agreement about what the term “consciousness” means, let alone how one might go about simulating it.)
