We’re really overdue for shutting this experiment down. I mean, what do they still want from us, Hamlet 2?

This is the only one I'd be curious enough to actually watch.

No. It's plastic. We were born into this world to create plastic. God just wants us to produce plastic.

Obviously Hamlet 2 followed by Hamlet 2 episode 1 and episode 2

This is quite unfortunate. I was writing a poem the other day that was really cool and shit. So I shared my kickass poem with my best friend. She really liked it, and then said she was a big Star Wars fan too. Apparently, I had unwittingly written the opening text crawl thing for a movie called Star Wars Episode I. And yes, I checked to make sure that they wrote it first. I hate it when that happens!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Same. I once wrote about what it would be like in the future where humanity placed their differences aside and explored the stars. They encountered new worlds and new alien civilisations. They boldly went to places where no one went before.

To my suprised this copy cat named Gene or whatever copied all my work 60 years ago and died without even apologizing. The nerve of some people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jesus. This is so much bigger than I had thought. People enchanting the spirits so that they can preemptively take credit for and profit from our work is a serious issue. We should form an action group. We could call ourselves People Against Dead Poets Society.

Can we also add inventions? As a child, I independently came up with the idea of those little sun visor extenders to cover the part of the windshield that's inexplicably not covered by the regular sun visor. Imagine my horror, years later, to find that some douchebag had stolen the idea way back in the 60's or 70's before I was even born.

I just wrote The Brothers Karamazov, has anyone else done that one, yet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Is that one of those really long depressing novels about alcoholic Russians hurting each other by a combination of being overally concerned with face saving and the need to be performative?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

There is a combination of sounds that could perfectly describe advanced technology capable of ending world hunger and suffering. Verbal communication is like spells. All words have an effect on our mind and emotions, it's just that most word's effects are too small to notice. There could be some perfect combination of words that resonate with everyone and brings about world peace.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are those words the lyrics to Argent's God Gave Rock and Roll To You as covered by two idiots?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Thought I recognized that as the plot to a movie

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are also combinations of sounds and words that completely counter the words that could end world hunger and suffering. They are in perfect balance with one another which is why nothing ever changes.

Be careful with upsetting the balance .... it may shift towards utopia for everyone, or complete chaos and destruction for everything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm for the chaos, who's with me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Most days yes. Civilization is way overrated. No student loans in man-eats-man rule or churches.

The endless monkeys were the friends we made along the way

Combinatorics can be surprising bc there are 10^178620 possible English works the length of Hamlet. That we have exhausted the span of possible works is extremely untrue.

well it’s a 50/50 chance that it either exists or it doesn’t

We're not monkeys, we're apes. Different taxonomic families.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

The group that includes all monkeys and excludes apes is paraphyletic which is avoided in modern taxonomy. Either use it in a way that includes all simians or don't use it at all. Either way, it's a higher order than "family"
