So there is this Star Treck TNG episode that centers around a crew member named Lt. Barclay. It in the guy is possessed; almost as if the episode itself was fashion by God out clay it tells a very interesting story. I imagine you can get the full episode on Amazon or something, here's a YouTube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4AEBiyn8R
I don't want to spoil the plot, but the subtitle there is "Lt. Barclay is the computer." The episode brought some interesting questions to my mind about "the computer." It's an odd scenario that Star Trek presents, the Captain PiCard is constantly demanding that video bet put "onscreen" that warp drive be "engaged" and you wouldn't believe how many people want the doors opened and closed just as they approach them.
The odd thing, though, is in the very beginning of this episode Barclay is on the holodeck (omg holodeck heaven!) discussing some theories he has about relativity with a virtual Einstein--actually a virtual Einstein. They're arguing with each other about some physics equations that look just like Greek to me and scrawling all over a virtua blackboard. What's the punch line?
Do you find it strange that nobody ever wonders if the computer is alive? How is it capable of communicating on the holodeck as if it's one of the smartest human beings that ever lived--and yet everywhere else the thing is an automaton? It never seems to complain, aside from the one song that started off "Married With Children." I think that's the computer complaining, anyway. Can you hear it?
As an aside there's a very subthread of my little story about our Universe also being alive--I don't think that's true, though it's clear that something close to that might be. Still, there are no "evil trees" and my couch rarely tries to eat me; in the land of Oz where things can move around and change shape and smile, do you think that a hard drive and RAM are part of the body of the CPU--the brain? Just curious.
I have lots of work to do today, I am going to try to finish a video for tomorrow morning--I mean edit it. This is bold, because I havent looked at any of the footage I recorded... and I generally don't like the way I look, something like hearing my voice on an answering machine. I'll probably do it anyway. In the meantime... a few days ago I sent everyone a reddit article to look at and vote on; and then that night it was "[removed]" for being "blogspam" which, to me is really a landing page filled with ads-not an actual article or the secrets of the Universe. Anyway, the next day I screamed some more about reddit. Long story short, look what reddit let me do--you've read all the stuff there I'm sure, but it seems to evade their evil moderation to to a place where all the traffic is mine. I made initially as a shirine to their censorship problem, but since it stood that test, I wasted some time making it a little better.
Lots of e-mails went out again, who knows, maybe it will do something.
It is a litle insulting to have "the Revelation fo Jesus Christ" constantly called Sthk PAM, and a little more insulting that it has to be distributed in this way, to ensure that it isn't lost on the world forever. Thanks for listening, and Merry Christmas.

That's a "." not "dotty" ... it's to stop SPAMmers. :/
This document is "living" and I don't just mean in the Jeffersonian sense. It's more alive in the "Mayflower's and June Doors ..." living Ethereum contract sense [and literally just as close to the Depp/Caster/Paglen (and honorably PK]
'D-hath Transundancesense of the ... new meaning; as it is now published on Rinkeby, in "living contract" form. It is subject to change; without notice anywhere but here--and there--in the original spirit of the GPL 2.0. We are "one step closer to God" ... and do see that in that I mean ... it is a very real fusion of this document and the "spirit of my life" as well as the Spirit's of Kerouac's America and Vonnegut's Martian Mars and my Venutian Hotel ... and *my fusion* of Guy-A and GAIA; and the Spirit of the Earth .. and of course the God given and signed liberties in the Constitution of the United States of America. It is by and through my hand that this document and our X Commandments link to the Bill or Rights, and this story about an Exodus from slavery that literally begins here, in the post-apocalyptic American hartland. Written ... this day ... April 14, 2020 (hey, is this HADAD DAY?) ... in Margate FL, USA. For "official used-to-v TAX day" tomorrow, I'm going to add the "immultible incarnite pen" ... if added to the living "doc/app"--see is the DAO, the way--will initi8 the special secret "hidden level" .. we've all been looking for.
Nor do just mean this website or the totality of my written works; nor do I only mean ... this particular derivation of the GPL 2.0+ modifications I continually source ... must be "from this website." I also mean *the thing* that is built from ... bits and piece of blocks of sand-toys; from Ethereum and from Rust and from our hands and eyes working together ... from this place, this cornerstone of the message that is ... written from brick and mortar words and events and people that have come before this poit of the "sealed W" that is this specific page and this time.

All references to the Holy Bible must be "linked" (as they are or via ... impromptu in-transit re-linking) to the exact verses and versions of the Bible that I reference. These requirements, as well as the caveat and informational re-introduction to God's DAO above ... should be seen as material modifications to the original GPL2.0 that are retroactively applied to all works distributed under license via this site and all previous e-mails and sites. /s/ wso
