Reports of Ashby and Grey Walter's devices, for example, which show the enduring interest in mechanical creatures, call to mind Jacques Loeb's fascination with the selenium-eyed 'dog' built by J.H. Hammond in the 1900s.³⁴

34 Allen, 1975, p. 78. Note also that in 1956 Walter himself published a sub-Wellsian utopian novel in which, among other things, he predicted a society which had mastered human genetics and ectogenesis.

"Violence only leads to more violence" TRUE! The thing is tho, a lot of people in power seem to think the start of the violence was the CEO getting shot, but they're wrong. The start of the violence was that very CEO running a company that turns immense, endless human suffering into money.

Violence did lead to more violence, decades of needless death and suffering willfully enacted by millionaires so they can make just a little bit more money, that was the start of the violence. If they didn't want it to escalate eventually, they should have maybe not made killing people the core functionality their entire company hinges on.

The people being tortured and killed by the health insurance industry are not the ones who started the violence, and tbh I don't really think it's on them to end the violence, either.

i'm so certain the reason phil just had to bring up the fact that he won that plushie for dan is that it's been a decade and a half since it happened and he still can't believe he actually pulled that off. the emo twink boyfriend of your dreams tells you he wants a claw machine prize and you actually manage to win it for him? huge. insane game. lightning in a bottle event, his ego simply still hasn't recovered
