BETTERLY PRETTY-ROARED - So what does it all mean?

It’s easy to extrapolate blame for the subtext: the obsessively inquisitive and eager-to-get-good-things-now mindset.

And the resultant stock market crash has eaten huge chunks off the incomes of so many people: a million and a half households have been hit hardest, while young people have been hardest hardest hardest hardest off.

And the tech bubble that started late last year is about to burst fast, and burst so fast that the effects of its own is expected to be the envy of the world.

And tech stuff is cheap.  Start saving now: the Hatsune Miku subscription scheme is a steal, priced around $79.99 today.  She’s also got a free digital copy of Porcupine Engine for her entire life, so she may not be the first pop star to have suffered a debilitating brain injury.

The Miku story is one of continued peripheral vision: the visual cortex is as big as your eyeball, and the haptic feedback system of the nervous system dictates how the device is used.  But the most interesting part of the story - the part that most people never touched - is the part that most people develop their own language and emotional language: the ability to communicate in third person.

Third person is a more limited and nuanced form of emotive storytelling.  It can range from simple expressions of empathy for the suffering of others, to deeply emotional expressions of one’s own pain, and it can all be attempted on anyone: regardless of background, level of expertise, or day-to-day circumstances.

Transhumanists are eagerly waiting for the right moment to use emotive storytelling to advance beyond binary questions and into a world beyond human experience.

WHY PIE AT YOUR OWN RISK

If you’ve ever gazed at the huge viewing figures that are chalked up on Twitch - where millions of viewers watch people play video games without actually joining in - you’d be mesmerized.  People are game-ulating how they’ll ever do it in the real world, and how they’ll ever do it on Twitch without actually watching the games.
Gamers are game-killers, who do exactly what you want them to do, and respond in exactly the way you want them to: with brute force, in-game killing, and mutilate, switching bodies and returning to the real world in massive, synchronized fashion.
And yet, people mistake brute force and sneak into the game in the first place.  The problem is, they don’t know when they’ll be allowed to do it, or how, and it’s when you’re most afraid of.

The second danger to Twitchy is that it makes you afraid to be online.  People don’t know when they will have to reactivate their personal computer accounts with face processing, or when email notifications will let them know that they are online.  So they lurk in the shadows, and watch you from a distance.

The third danger to FaceTime is that it makes you angry.  People forget that everything is a game, especially online.  People forget that online interaction is everything to you, and online you can be nothing but to you.

And the sheer volume of online interactions that you and I make online is entirely about you.  You make me happy, I make myself happy, I can't decide if I’ll call you cute or madlyon, but either way, I don’t want to be there.

So what if I told you that you couldn’t?  Here’s an idea, an idea that you may have that none of these scenarios are believable: what if we made you more angry?

You’re not quite ready, yet you know what I’m talking about.

You can cope when the pressure is so great that the only thing you’re really going to give is yourself.

And that’s okay, ladies and gentlemen, we can’t stop here.  There are already clear-cut, well-established, and well-established-enough policies around online expression against online aggression.  And in the case of “exotic animals” that have absolutely nothing to do with Western medicine, this was just too much.  It’s just that, in the case of this “truck” movie, it seemed to set exactly how the rules were being broken: one man’s interpretation of a very specific script, and that interpretation quickly became the rule.  And so it is with expressions of opinion expressed online.  When one disagrees with a film, or a statement of opinion, but one has exactly the same feelings as the audience
