(consciousness without a mammalian brain)

(I want a second day to self!  T had said yesterday it would be OK, but I still want to check in with him before I pay to extend the parking.  Meanwhile, in the group chat I'm discussing with B potential systems of infinite multiverses and how they would give rise to consciousness.  LOL.  Still pondering the experience of consciousness without a mammalian brain.)

humans are horrible to each other

lately I spend my Saturday afternoons crying while watching war films

it's the only way white men in the US are allowed to cry, while watching war films

on Friday morning

I had an opportunity to not be an asshole, and I took it,

that's my job, to not be the asshole, that's how it works, that's how I hold everything together,
