May 7th - tornado man

Yussef started showing me this video of a guy running straight into a tornado. LMFAO. Just before the guy ran in, the video stopped, because Yussef's internet was down. So now all I have in my mind is this image of a guy running straight for a tornado, and I have no idea. No idea. The image replays in my mind, caught like an eye worm, to endless hilarity and imaginative turnsoutedness.

I went tree climbing with Yussef Ryan and Hayden, down at the Gardens of Awesome. INCREDIBLE TREES. This one tree Yussef and I climbed was like, 4 stories tall, and we went to the top. And poked my head out through the sky into outer outerspace. Botanical gardens. Ryan and I discussed the maths of the Babylonians. There was this bell, and we played around inside of it. Yussef and I made mushrooms + caramelized onions + pasta + cheese. I ate it with chopsticks really slowly and it took over an hour. He let me try this middle eastern tahini stuff that's AMAZING on toast.

Guitar Feedback jk

Back to the house. Reuben blew my mind about how Plato's Cave is connected to A Clockwork Orange. He blew my mind about how Socrates is like the foundation of our civilization LMAO. Socrates has always been my hero. And they executed him LMFAO. I can only imagine him as the god of all poopy dumpies. But yes, its quite astounding that we're still talking about them, and how Plato's questions are still our questions, and I figure I ought to launch my mind into the realms of history more *downloads Republic*. I kind of want to become obsessed with some random thinker, way back in history, mostly forgotten, and just dive into his entire mind, shed light into his insights, and project them onto every corner of my life. I met some other dude Matt who's into transhumanism. The singularity makes for some good neurocomputophilosophical standup comedy. It's just like, everything thrown into one tornado.

LMFAO

Faster than perception travel? That's what the singularity will be. It will happen beyond the limits of human perception. (similar to how computers work, most of you have no idea. All this magic surrounds you and you generally don't question it, you just use it).

Yussef was a random name I once thought up for a character. Your an instance of my coincidence. Go CJ in NZ!!

Funny you should comment,
I was thinking about how you said one time that you climbed to the top of a tree and poked your head out the top. Astounded by this accomplishment I forever made it my goal to realize this feat one day. While I wrote this it came to the attention of my imagination that might have exaggerated. I let out a hollar. Either way, you're awesome Alex, and don't ever tell me the truth.

After this sentence I will never lie to you again.
