America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

BREAKING: Awesome new footage shows Barack and Michelle Obama rocking out with Bruce Springsteen. This is sure to upset Donald Trump.
While speaking to the West Point graduating class, Trump said, "No one wanted to join the military under Biden".
Everyone in that graduating class started their training during the Biden administration.
Donald Trump is an idiot.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

BREAKING: Newly leaked footage shows Bruce Springsteen’s performance that sent Donald Trump spiraling. This is amazing.
Imagine when it comes up with a story way different that the one you tell yourself. Or different AIs producing very different narratives?
Could this have an impact in our egos or even in our self identitification?
What about the information left out?
Have you reached out to black mirror?
I actually think about this a lot (maybe a future post).
Realistic images of ourselves in made-up situations has a certain effect on the brain. I wonder if it trips the "representation" neurons -- when you see someone who looks like yourself in a successful position it increases self-esteem among other things.
I imagine that causal narratives are even stronger with this effect. It might not reach the same level of having a suppport system reframe negative events into positive narratives, but again, it's along the same lines.
