Meditating on what exactly the internet is at its most fundamental level.

 

I just read a couple of really enlightening books about money, specifically Your Money or Your Life and Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and both of them had the insight that money has ceased to be a tool for First Worlders and instead become an addictive substance. At its heart, though, money is just a standardized form of exchange. In essence, money is only what we agree it is.

 

So in similar fashion, I was just thinking what the internet is, because its taken on a role in society thats almost as fundamental, and I think we run the same risks of getting dominated by it. Right now, I'm leaning towards the conclusion that the internet is ultimately, just "thoughts". Some of those thoughts are put to practical use, such as the thought that Guy A wants to buy a whatsit, and Guy B happens to be in the whatsit business, so lets do the money dance cha cha cha! But other people use the internet as a source of community, achievement, or even fulfillment. That's crazy dangerous, because what they're actually getting are just facsimiles--just thoughts.

 

So, deep stuff happening in Taco Tyrantopia.

Saying F it to School today. X3 After last night's episode, I'm craving KFC like you wouldn't BELIEVE.

I only have one class on today anyway, and it's Christian Living. X3 Which doesn't count towards any grade. It's just for Christian environment education purposes. But today, I'm going to go walking today. To KFC, then maybe further!

Playing Dying light again.

 

As fun as this game is, it has one major flaw. The game likes to assassinate the player as punishment for things not entirely withing the players control. Bomber infected for example. These are like boomers from L4D except if you stand near one it's instant death. Wouldn't be so bad if a slightly redder, more protruded front wasn't the only thing that discerns them from the other zombies. Like they barely even sound different and most zombies I hear before I see. So when one comes busting out of a door in melee range, I'm swinging before I notice the slight difference and by then it's too late. 2000 survivor points less and back to the nearest safe zone. >:| This has happened at least 8 times and almost happened many more if I hadn't saved it in the last fractions of a second.

Visited a, uh, "major Seattle-area aerospace manufacturing company that I can't call out" and looked at some stuff on the shop floor.

 

Those guys are so cool, I love working with them. They even gave me a special helmet to keep as a souvenir!
