Godspeed you black emperors.
I feel sick to my stomach. Charlie was a pundit but he didn't deserve this. Not at our university. I've always felt in danger at UVU as the whole complex makes Michel Foucault look like a Hebraic prophet. I wasn't on campus at the time- I'm currently attending a guest class at BYU across town.
I'm going to drop out of university. There's no point anymore. The society I wanted to live in as a child has started to eat itself. What makes me sick is that before the announcement my attitude was very, "let's make cynical jokes; he'll most likely be ok..." this all happened 15 minutes away from my house. I'm afraid of violence toward my left-leaning family. I'm currently battling chronic illness (lungs, throat, stomach. Don't smoke!) and I can't take this stress anymore. I love you uncle Douglas Engelbart; I wanted to take on the work Alan Kay did in his life. I wanted to make tools to expand human intellect. I wanted to help make good on the Licklider dream. Now my dream is manipulate a doctor into giving me a diagnosis so I can enter into palliative care and take Methadone until I die.

I don't know that this is true. Teichmuller was an incredibly talented mathematician and he was a committed Nazi.
The one use case where I'm really excited for though is when we (perhaps we have) to where my nieces and nephews can tell the machine-- "I have an idea for a video game could you help me make it?" That to me is the natural extension of the movement to things like Roblox and Minecraft. Ultimately though the, "goal" is to get them to, "real understanding."
