New Book: D'ARC

Image
As was told before, I love reading. I was always eager to get back into it around the Summer of 2016. By then, I had a part time job enough to pay for my bills, and school was not demanding in the slightest; I had to make myself busy. Fast forward to now, if I see a good book, I'm more inclined to read the first few pages and determine off of that to decide on the purchase. And a while ago, I decided upon D'Arc by Robert Repino. The story goes that hostile and highly intelligent ants instill consciousness within nearly all forms of animal life. With the sworn purpose of rising up against the apex predators hunting them to near extinction: humans. Curiosity instills in me as what the responses would be to create a race of conscious animals who are to reintegrate into the world after the war is over. But it is interesting to realize that in this storyline, the only method of gaining a chance of victory against humans is granting them intelligence themselves. To m

Returning Soon

While the summer was a relaxing one sleeping in the back of my car and working out in a company gym, that luxurious time is over, and there are more things to do. In one respect, I managed to get a new book I'll disclose later. This matters because the story is very much a playout of the world I so envisioned for you from the fantastic mythos of film and literature. As well, many new topics have come up in my head which I'm quite eager to share my insights on, including Regrets, Further Analysis of a vegan movement, and even War in this new world. I hope the Fall is picking up smoothly for everyone, and naturally I'll be sitting by, watching it with a fantastic cup of nice, hot Pumpkin Spice Latte! Festivities as always, and Happy Thinking!

Hiatus

Sadly, I have been largely inactive for the past few months. I was hoping employment would free up time but instead, it seems I have less time to engage with online activities and am forced to rather spend time away from the internet. All the while, I will be drawing, reading, and probably practicing my coding. The life of a struggling engineering intern is a unique to its own discipline, but by most means alike to the students of any other major of study. I thought I had more to add, but by this point, I can say that I will return by late August. And until then, Happy Thinking!

Nudist colonies are ingenious for one reason: they have highly reduced costs in terms of clothing cleaning, and everything with the like. Downside? It's super weird. Because everyone, aside from service folks, are exposed. And because nudist colonies are typically in lower tropical and warm climates, the inhabitants must be more generous with the sunscreen. That being said, chances are, I wouldn't join one. Why do I mention it? Because it's really obvious, or will be later on. Social Media Surely the concept of social media will apply just as well for sentient pets as well as for any regular person. The more obvious accommodations are as follows, with the lack of fingers, how does one type? More likely than not, it's true pets will rely on speech-to-text applications that capture their unique thoughts. Assuming the family affords the pets privileges of their own, it's possible the pet becomes familiar with technology possessed by the family, or even the fa

So today might be a short talk about what would be the case if adoptions would ever go into effect. This would lie mostly towards if conventional household pets were chosen to be the recipients of a procedure to learn consciousness. Food What sort of family would a dog or cat or parrot be given to? Selection through government and scientific procedure would determine the ideal family. And chances are, the ideal  family would be those who have two parents and/or children all at a decent age who are well-cared for and responsible. So what considerations would this family have to have? First and foremost, diet considerations are part of any normal pet owning family. No chocolates, grapes, alcohol, and the usual suspects of food toxic to nonhuman animals. Additionally, the question comes up as to whether the family would incorporate the new member as an equal, or as a pet. And this is where you can of course, see serious confusion both for ourselves and these hypothetical families in

Equal, but not Equal

Very rarely do I present a post on which the post is more than not focused on the  animal's point of view. So then, obviously there is a unique was that any sentient animal would view us. But then, the question comes with: Should the higher powers that be make it possible to increase the exposure of the sentient animal, what would happen if the animal were to be exposed with members of their own species and how would that affect them? Views of Us Obviously at this point, if the publicity of the animals being sentient were widespread much time after the initial creation, they would already be in contact with us, and a sense of trust would be deeply ingrained between the human handlers that work with the animal, and the animal itself. Would the innate culture of the animal place emphasis on height? Obviously, normal animals receive information on physical cues given by other animals in place of spoken communication, so would the actions of a few unaware people denote signs of

Reading, Writing and Other Capabilities

It's very possible that in the mark to create new sentient species can also grant them the ability to read, write, and perform arithmetic. In which case, more cerebral densifying needs to be done. Allow me to dispel some certain things about using only 10% of our brains. As far as we know, there are some individuals who, in certain cycles can activate 100% of their brain. Such an instance is what medical experts call a seizure. So then what happens in the event we decide to give animals the ability to read and write on top of speaking and coherently understanding spoken word? Should this be the case, major steps toward increased intellect, then this would mean a lot bigger girth of independence for any augmented species. Plausibility It would be natural to think that if an animal knows how to speak, then it would now how to read, and by extension, write. But given that humans should be proficient at writing. If that were really true, dyslexia wouldn't exist. So by that n
