Audio Log 0814'24"19:51

Note

Daniel explores the nature of reality and consciousness, sharing experiences with synchronicity and the idea of multiple versions of himself existing in different forms. He challenges the distinction between physical and non-physical forms of information and reality, and grapples with the implications of these ideas. Daniel also discusses the interconnected nature of emptiness and fullness, suggesting that they are complementary states that coexist in the universe.

Outline

Trusting intuition and the nature of consciousness.

• Daniel reflects on a seemingly impossible event and questions the role of coincidence or synchronicity.

• Daniel worries about owing money to a girl from Circle K and avoids going to pay her back.

• Daniel reflects on his growth in trusting his intuition despite scientific skepticism.

��� Daniel suggests that inanimate objects like bridges and trees have their own unique energy and spirit.

The nature of space and time, with references to black holes and air.

• Daniel ponders the creation of a "bridge spirit" through composting of energies.

• Daniel proposes the concept of "information singularity" where fullness of information leads to indistinguishability from nothingness.

• Daniel explores the concept of fullness and emptiness in various contexts.

• Daniel discusses the concept of "air" as a repeated, low-cost bit of information that is highly replicable and easily producible, taking up less space than it appears to.

• Daniel uses the analogy of a glass filled with air to illustrate how the physical and non-physical realms can coexist, with the air displacing physical objects but still occupying the same space.

The concept of a "survival sphere" in the context of the universe's information and entropy.

• Daniel ponders the concept of fullness in various contexts, including cups and universes.

• Daniel suggests the universe may not have an edge, but rather a continuous cycle of time.

• Daniel ponders the nature of time and existence, suggesting a "survival sphere" concept.

Arizal, Recordkeeping, and the World of Maktaba [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

In the second episode of the show’s prelude, Log ii, she interviews Dante, a real keeper, who tells her the harsh reality of gathering information for the global archive, explaining that he is alone “all the time.” His words cause Arizal to have a personal crisis in the next episode, Log iii. She laments that it may be impossible to be a keeper, worries about leaving her stuff behind, like her favorite (and precious) fiftieth-anniversary edition of a book titled The Littlest Royal. This item holds special value to her above anything else and represents a turning point in the show. At the same time, she wants to discover more about the world and explore it with her friends. Her spirits are lifted when Rizella calls her an “adorable bookworm” after proving her obscure knowledge of an ancient settlement. Although these episodes contrast with accepted definitions of an archivist as a person who has “expertise in the management of records of enduring value” or the head of an archives program, by being a keeper, Arizal will be “responsible for records of enduring value.” This relates to Badiola’s assessment that vlogging and future record keeping, in other formats, by Arizal, is inherently archival.

In the final episode of the show’s prelude, Log iv, Arizal finally leaves her self-imposed isolation in her house. She reflects on a secretive mountain overlook about her dream to be a keeper and how her friends helped her leave the house so she would not wallow in her sadness. Arizal declares that she wants to leave the city and is ready to visit places her mother (a former ambassador) visited, discover a new part of the world, and find something to love. In the last shots of the episode, the primary athenaeum votes to accept her application. Since an athenaeum is a scientific or literary association that tries to advance learning, Arizal will be in good company with fellow scholars who enjoy learning and knowledge, including those who read for fun, taking in information “with no thought of application,” to use Dante’s words to her in the second episode.

As Arizal explores the world, collecting records for world’s public archive, she will be, as a result of her societal role as a keeper, be bound to the records themselves, and their creation. Like Dante, the keeper she talked with in the second prelude episode, Arizal will undoubtedly be chronicling her adventures using her electronic devices, whether by vlogging or something else, as she “records her journey into adulthood” in Badiola’s words. [13] Whatever Arizal collects on her journeys across the vast world will undoubtedly make the annals of history richer for all the people of Maktaba.

I'm just checking, has anyone in the world seen the 1988 live action film of Puss in Boots starring Christopher Walken as a catboy or did I just have a fever dream

(it's also a musical) (yes Christopher Walken does dance and sing about how he's a happy cat who loves his boots) (he also eats mice)

(also there's a proto-Shrek ogre in it)

hey bunjy, that post about temu has been debunked a long time ago. while there are some shady aspects to what temu is doing, they function exactly like other currently "trusted" discount ecommerce things like shein aliexpress wish etc. they're not actually an MLM and they don't have access to everything on your phone. there's an whole article on snopes about temu if you want to look into it.

and if you want to talk about what's trustworthy or not, both USA Today and Komando dot com have bad reps for whether or not the information they provide is true. always do your OWN research.

ah yeah you're correct, my own research shows the closest match as them being described "ALMOST a pyramid scheme", not a pyramid scheme proper.

um. However.

Prompt 193

Once again I put forth cryptid batfam. But with a Marvel crossover. Because why not. 

See Gotham isn’t really talked about by the others in the US. The other cities ignore, ignore, ignore as best they can manage, pretending that if they don’t see it, it doesn’t exist. 

That being said, they aren’t completely oblivious to it either. Oh they don’t believe the tales and whispers that come out of the place, because if they were true surely someone would have done something. But they are aware of things like Wayne Industries or Drake Enterprises, right up there with Stark’s. 

Both of which are based within Gotham, though have plenty of things outside the dreadful city as well. Now the Drake couple were constantly seen at galas outside of New Jersey before their tragic demise, but the Waynes? Never once have they been seen outside their city for a single Gala. 

Which makes this invite that one Tony Stark get to one of the Gotham Galas incredibly surprising. Suspiciously so actually, but he has the option for a couple plus ones. His team might be interested- Shield definitely would, seeing as Gotham is a complete blackout on their files. And from his hacking he’s discovered that any information gathering attempts of theirs have failed. 

But really, how bad can it be, it’d only be a couple days after all.

…

Okay what is that fucking thing on top of the building-

What if GIW was created by Justice League

to answer the never ending calls for help?

I mean, it would be more believable then JL just ignoring it, right? (Black out, blocked off and isolated Amity park - no complaints, you’re doing great sweetie)

Maybe they’re different than what is seen in the show, but what if? They’d definitely hide their actual goals, and try to set the narrative, benefiting them. Maybe while they were formed, the government somehow affected the recruitment and its legal purpose (idk how to word it any other way, bear with me here), so GIW doesn’t turn out how JL expected?

Like, the main thing is the League knows about the problem and thinks it’s being handled, completely blinded by the GIW doing everything to JL from paying more than a glance towards Amity park. Possibly even gently swayed by the GIW , who’re being careful to give just enough info to make JL to draw their own conclusions, but not too much to alert the League of their less then moral goals and methods
