Just finished VALIS, a very trippy book by Phillip K Dick. That might be redundant - they're all a head trip. I found this one meaningful in terms of psychology.

Well, I guess we still have the concept of Viking Death at least: facing your foe and going down fighting 😅

I wish #Gnosticism had won. It seems healthier to me. Plus it inspired #PhillipKDick.

“Dick’s published output — at least 35 novels and countless short stories — ranges from sublime to inscrutable, which is partly a result of volume. His book advances were skimpy and there was a family to support, so he wrote quickly, often fueled by amphetamine tablets. (Dick’s typing speed: 120 words per minute.) If you’re a stickler for prose style and hold a zero-tolerance policy toward the word “boobies,” this is not your fellow.”
Whenever I think of #AI and #LLMs hallucinating, I think of #PKD.

Imagine my surprise when it popped up on my kids lullaby playlists.
Then later in a performance of The Sound of Music

Tonight’s 30 minutes: Chapters 3 & 4 of Man In The High Castle. World building complete and catalyst applied. Things are in motion. Cover still makes no sense. #bookstodon #phillipkdick #scifi #metime

La Iglesia de los Observadores logró que el Congreso aprobase la ley. En realidad querían que la edad fuera más baja, sosteniendo que el alma ingresa al cuerpo a los tres años, pero llegaron a un acuerdo. Lo que te importa es que ya estás legalmente a resguardo, por mucho miedo que sientas ¿Lo comprendes?
