It’s not random but I’ve been thinking about energy vampires lately. that, alright, i hear a snide comment that perhaps you were not even consciously making. and i'm an honest person and i've stressed on the question. i am being somewhat draining with the deluges, and what, ultimately, is the point? i was at a bar just now, and it's friday and peak hours and i've effectively snagged a clever seat at the bar, and it's right at the nexus of the manic filling of cups and ice and hurrying about and the register and i can feel the tension of it all flying around me and it bothers me. i want these people to relax. to feel appreciated. that i know the waitress and the more... i dunno the terms, guy running water cups and mixing. that he's not taking care of me, it's the waitress, but i'm right in front of him, and it's on him that does he need to ask me if i need another beer and no. i mean nothing but love here and i want you to relax and calm down and not stress because i feel this same sort of stress just walking down the street and i respect it and i am just watching you two whiz around and doing nothing but feeling your pain that the waitress is supposed to ask me how the burger is, but she has to wait until i've eaten a bit, and she has to keep an eye on this until i have, and then ask me. and maybe somewhere around then she's remembering that i've said this is the best burger in walking distance and are you kidding? it's fantastic. that's why i'm here. calm down that i felt it was almost time for the burger to arrive and so i do the thing where i unpack the napkin roll and lap the napkin and promptly someone shows up asking me if this is mine, and it's someone else's. i laugh, no. i just did this about three minutes early and you misread the signal that what i want is nothing more than for people to take something from all this and get something out of it |

I'm not being funny, right, but I do think Autechre pinched a lot of my ideas. |

re: bottle: Smart Bottleâ„¢ re: re-oger: I'm not being funny, right, but I do think Autechre pinched a lot of my ideas. think about how i feel when, oh... i'm certain the p50 sensory gating wave is key to why nicotine helps schizophrenics, but how, really, am i to even begin to prove this? now you can read a paper detailing why i'm right and i said it years before but i ripped the p50 wave concept off from existing science. i couldn't have found that myself [per se] and i can't prove anything about it off by myself either. you look at the simultaneous breakthroughs in history, though - newton and leibniz. two men working on the same breakthrough, and their work is so similar that we're still split between their two styles of notation today. that they built their work on the work of others [shoulders of giants etc etc] who themselves built their work off of earlier others, and this is even before we consider the sneaks autechre might possibly be for daring to lift your ideas hoard them to yourself? you still get nothing. so, these days, it's like: well, i have taken a step, here. but other people be making it off in parallel behind closed doors. and if they haven't, they'll be there as soon as i open my mouth on it. so i reach a place, where: bea arthur nAIked? this feels like mermaidman. it is my idea. but i don't have the setup. and it feels like giving someone a puppy, like, i know you'll love this one. but it's also, like -- if he doesn't feel like bothering, whatever. someone else will do it eventually. because it's too good of an idea to not happen eventually. inevitable, i'd argue. natural evolution but then also consider i might be keeping plenty to myself, even with all i do write. |

that really. someone whose high school band was "the bad touches" the bea arthur idea... some music journo once described the "doctorin' the tardis" mashup as "absolutely rancid" and, well, you see what i mean? this really belongs with him. if he can be arsed. no worries |

hoard them to yourself? you still get nothing. so, these days, it's like: well, i have taken a step, here. but other people be making it off in parallel behind closed doors. and if they haven't, they'll be there as soon as i open my mouth on it. dad and i had this game that went something like: one of us would propose a tech startup idea, and the other would shred it to bits. and this was largely just for sheer enjoyment of "bullshit sessions" but there was also the very valid reason, "if it can survive this beating, it might have a snowflake's chance in hell of succeeding" and ideas are cheap. that we're all LLMs iterating on the current version of science and trying to get to the next step first. i do let a lot of the better ones go, here. but from... well, that's what dad and i did instead of playing basketball? i'm also never without an immediate lockdown of "this is a fool's errand" and actually there are some things that survive that and i've not said but even some things i've had. some chap got a patent for a straw to stop hiccups based on... 100 pascals of pressure on the diaphragm... i don't know. that, actually, no one knew. and chinese AI promptly ripped his straw off from the photo but none of them fucking worked because none of them even understood the level of finesse required for the product to actually work. and if patents are bullshit, this is all the IP protection you have left, really -- simply for it to be so hard that no one can rip you off and there has been plenty of that i have said. but if you've ripped off my ideas to create a music AI or some shit, well, lol, you should have also asked for the business analysis of how fucked you are as well before you dropped time/$$ n2 it |

i wouldn't have vast chunks of it without rambling here, though. or would i? i was doing this before XLT. i don't know. i certainly feel it's sped things up at least |

that amongst all this -- the, yes, actually far more than casual thot about what i actually let loose -- is, i suppose, with all the shit i give the octopi bois [who can be women just as easily; doesn't matter] how can avoid being this sort of asshole myself? and i think i've actually gotten so much out of people here, their ideas, or even simply their reactions helping me figure shit out. so it's only fair you get some of the good shit |

you know what does feel kind of lonely? someone you know enough to let some proper private shit go asks how it really is, and you say it, and it's like... their conscious mind has rejected it. that you really did think to ask how it was and when i actually told you it was bad enough that your brain just decided it couldn't be possible and so it's kind of like this weird brainfart and their conscious mind has rejected it and they're saying something completely illogical that is pretty much like "oh don't worry, hell will freeze over sooner or later" and alright, i told you how it was and i guess it's bad enough you can't consciously handle it and i'm just going to be polite and not try and input my problems to your brain again. and you tried but this actually just makes me feel more eh. |

most of what you think of as "you" is mostly experience (even your body is just experience or memory), but then the question arises "what else is it there to you?" that which is experiencing: every subject has a common source, subjectivity is sliced into an endless amount of individuals, but there is no difference in how it works for me and you or for an insect, as the experience of everyone of us is dominated by separating the world into subject and object, there are basically 2 types of objects: those which the subject understands as separate to himself and the immediate object through which the subject knows all the objects in the first group (its body), including other subjects bodies which are but like other external object. the subject's knowledge of the objects is mediated by another object. what individualizes subjectivity is the immediate object, other than that it works the same for every possible subject. that is to say it exists as an archetype outside space and time |

I think "Waterfunk" as a genre has possibly got legs. I'd like to experiment making Waterfunk. It appears a Water-Funk (someone afraid of water, and, perhaps specifically, swimming pools? Don't know, didn't read that much into it) is a thing, albeit dated and a bit American. |
