  • Jefferson's Starship having been blown up decades prior, of course.

  • 3-2-1 Backup Rule: Three copies of data at two different types of storage media, with 1 copy offsite

  • Also Rapunzel from Tangled grows up to have two daughters named exactly what you think.

  • "Eh Don Homer, my son he-"

  • I'm sorry, but you do not have permission to dream about dolphins as we could not verify your identity.

    How about dreaming of Latest MarvelTM instead?

  • Ah! Yeah good point. We are way to pacified on the whole, and it seems like it literally just does take one asshole to push us around

  • Yep, the relative lack of heterogeneity in the Y-chromosome compared to mtDNA is somewhat testament to that too, but those mass grave sites are late stone age. Neanderthals predate those sites by a large margin, so it'd be hard to say that they didn't necessarily follow the same brutal history against their own kin

  • how do you mean?

  • We don't actually know that. Homo Sapiens is on the whole a peaceful species, but we have a few assholes that like to kill and subjugate.

    Just because our assholes outlived their assholes, doesn't mean that they were any less assholes on average than we are/were

  • and this is why I can no longer go to cocktail bars

  • Lo verrily, I thank thee kind gentleman scholar to the spirit of thine timely repose of which mine gedankenings give flight to the fanciness of bees. May the everlasting illumination of others through proxy prose continue to be a boon to those who entreat upon it!

  • Ah right. I guess I'm sort of implying that the hidden parts are also imprinted somehow too, through a vague hand-wavey mechanism that I've yet to define

  • The latter, with a 's/routinely/rare/'

    I also have some curious thoughts about higher dimensional beings as well as some murmurs about what the rustling of trees might be a proxy for if you need the extra fodder, or just a fun drink in a pub somewhere

  • Interestingly, our brains have special circuits, design to emulate others. In effect, our consciousness imprints onto theirs. It’s not the full pattern, and imperfect, but a part of us lives on in the consciousness of everyone who knows us.

    I think this is a far better explained version of what I'm yammering on about. Echoes of yourself living on in other conscious beings, fragmented 1000fold into the general aether of all those you've interacted with

  • I do subscribe to a small comfort belief that our consciousness isn't just encoded in our neurons but has a radiative component that constructively/destructively interferes with the environment on some small level we atttibute to random events, and that when we die, we sever only the somatic component of our consciousness but our radiative part lives on encoded into a wider network of ambient thought.

    Sort of like ghosts/an afterlife, but less moaning and chain rattling and more general vibing the emotion of a park bench from the overlapped thought networks that ever intersected it

    Might be in the wrong sub...
