I like to think about systems; society, tech, biology, education. Not necessarily systematically. Soft edged humanist, but actually rather science-y. I am optimistic. Rather creative, hardly artistic. Loosely poetic. I'm just a little guy.

About a hundred years ago, Ella Fitzgerald entered some amateur stage to do a dance. But the previous act did dancing, so, devil may care, she decided to sing instead.
That's all.

Pure news are factual
Pure satire is irreverent
Hybrids and crossovers are fine, but it's very valuable to have the two proudly doing their job too.
In activism and propaganda, things get blurred. Make sure its worth it.

So listen. What if e-books facilitated 1) private notes - I imagine that's actually done, 2) public notes, visible to anyone who so wishes, and 3) group notes.
Is this done? Not an ebooker myself.

ChatGPT is good and bad, for sure. Recently when it as usual offered "Do you want help to draft a response?" I said "NO, I want to write poetry and get money for nothing".
Gloriously, it replied:
"A noble and timeless ambition".

Life's good. For one, I'm not wanted by mafia hit men. And I don't have like leucemia. My kid isn't a real asshole. And maybe that's about it, but I appreciate it.

I dreamed that I was compelled to explain and recite the Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates Epic Rap Battles of History HAL 9000 line "I thought you GNU".
It was a fail. I didn't actually remember it very well and crucially - I ostensibly didn't have a point.

Unusual:
While waking up, I had the thought:
"First of all, I'd like to congratulate myself on a most excellent and long sleep. As for dreams, I kissed a girl for the first time."
I recall no such dream and I didn't sleep for long, but I'll take the enthusiasm!

There's this economy gauge / index that shows where we (stock market sentiments, rather) supposedly are on a scale from FEAR (like now) to GREED.
Einstein said something like there are three things tugging at humans: Fear, Greed and Stupidity.
Always factor in stupidity.
