Hypothetical Questions:

What piece of knowledge written on paper, if transferred 500 years into the past would have the most effect? Would people act accordingly? If you choose a specific date you could do interesting things, if you want to give the wrong people old nuclear launch codes you could cause a lot of damage. But 500 years is a long time and I don’t think nuclear launch codes would have much effect?
–
Let’s say you can transfer the piece of paper anywhere, and you’ll have it written in the locally used language. But what written on a piece of paper would actually be brought into use? How would we convince the receiver of the letter?
–
What technology is useful without an industry? Or do we want to give the leader of nation detailed information on everything they need to develop guns and tanks? But how could you convince them with a little piece of paper?
Maybe by knowing secrets about their life, but how much can we trust our historical knowledge? Do we know enough about powerful figures to predict how they would act in this scenario? Maybe if we just enemy war plans pretending that the letter was from a traitor on the enemy side, that might work better…

Lemna Speaks:

Mister! bad habits are bad. You shouldn’t have them.

By grand decree from little old me, meet me by the coolers.
By the grand design of my little mind, we’ll rise beyond them all.
And by the time they realize it will be too late.
(I tried to make an Every Word” today but I failed so this is all I have to finish this post. Have a nice weekend.)

Three Questions:
–
Is boredom an emotion? What makes up the experience of being bored? Is there frustration? A desire to be doing more? Do you feel your time and value is wasted? Or is it something else?

Why do animals feel bored? Is it the opposing motivator for passion? Is it complimentary? If an animal is bored it must go on with preparing for it’s future or advancing the spreading of it’s genes? Feed itself? But why then do we get bored doing things to feed ourselves? Are subsistence farmers bored when working to feed themselves and their families?
What about background boredom? is there a difference between being actively bored and being bored as an absence of passion?

Lemna Speak:

Yes, being bored is no fun, which is why I am never bored except when I am. I find frustration to be far more entertaining with a spice of life. (no I don’t have a better word for it.) And frustrated at is the key, frustrated enough to do something. That or sleepy, it is fine to be sleepy as long as it actually gets you to sleep. (And I shall add, sometimes to eat. Lack of energy is often mistaken.) Although, memory soup is quite fun to live in as well.

Four Lines (I just want to communicate a bit.):
–
I’m finding a better place for Lemna, the power of raw opinion and personality. But she still has a logical side, just think she prefers to be human.
–
I slept less last night than I have for a while, but I feel less tired now that I went downstairs and curled up for 20 minutes? Was it the thinking? The not taking time away from the screens in the morning? The stories I listened to after getting up?
Yeah I think it was in large part the last time. Growth and stories are inspiring, and seeing others create reminds me that I can do the same.
–
I should probably give a better definition of line, as it doesn’t align with the common understanding. And it isn’t align with common usage. But this are to me but as a line of thought and I’ll leave it at that.

There is a lot I could do to improve this blog, but I wanted to do so when moving this to elsewhere and but it’s not been a priority. But if I think I’m actually providing something of value here, I should probably put in the effort to make it reach more people and be overall of higher quality.
The problem is that in order for me to think people actually get something out of reading this, I need to see traffic to and from the site, but for that to happen from the website shouldn’t be {expletive}.
(That and I’m lazy. It is egotistical for me to assume that if I knew something was good and valuable I would do it straight out.)

I’m in the midst of a different project today, so you’re getting questions and Lemna and nothing else.

Three Questions:
–
What is the most secure place on earth? What country or region has the lowest frequency of theft? And where is the least stolen?
–
What makes a competitive game fun? In what cases does seeing who has the bigger number effective? And how do you create multiple approaches to a problem that ends in the bigger number wins?
–
What actually is the slowest mammal? Why do I feel so bored by some of the questions coming to mind today? (Should I not do this until I am done with my 50 cards for the day? pProbably but if that were the case my very next action would be to work on said cards.)

Lemna Speaks:

He’s having trouble coming up with what to say today so I’ll fill in this space with a fact about birds. Birds are social creatures and many species of birds are really really smart. So could birds develop sapience? What species is most likely to do so? Are the brains too small? What is the dumbest a species can be a still be sapient? I know I’m implying that idiots aren’t sapient, but compared to many other things they aren’t really idiots. They do have working social minds. and all that.
I don’t know but talking birds would be cool.

Regardless his preoccupied brain is influencing the amount of room I have in here so I’ll try and tidy up, speak to you tomorrow.

Three Questions:
–
Which person caused the most people to laugh during their lifetime? Which person caused the most people to laugh after they died? Would you rather tell a joke and have a few people laugh or do something stupid and be laughed at by thousands? This, well, mainly the first two, could be fun dinner table discussion, but maybe my dinner table is different from yours.
–
When can one living in the middle east expect to see the most birds in the sky? what birds spend the most time in migration over their entire lifetimes? What birds spend the most time in migration over a year? What birds spend the largest fraction of their lifetime in migration? Do all three of these have different answers? What about second place or third place? If we made a top-down ranking, at what point would all three lists coincide? Not fun dinner table discussions unless you all like birds.
–
What is the average opinion about birds in the west? How do the Chinese see birds? Did the anti-sparrow policy of Mao Zedong affect the view of sparrows in china? If it did was there any bleed over to the appreciation of birds as a whole?

Lemna Speaks:

I like birds, but that isn’t who I am. And without birds there will still be things I like, I just need to experience more of the world so I can discover what they are.

Nothing more to say carry on.

Four Quick Lines:
–
You can always outmaneuver your opponent, and if you can’t, you’re not being creative enough.
–
If you are creative enough, nothing shall stand in your way, except for the limits of reality. For those are pretty darn strong.
–
But humans’ creations often ignore reality, and when numbers rule, you can be king. Replace reality with numbers when it benefits you, and when they use numbers, plead to reality.
–
We wonder why evil rule us. Then we go back to acting within systems we disagree with.

Three Questions:
–
Will I be able yo come up with three questions such as these every day for the rest of my life? How much learning must I do so that I never repeat myself? How many questions can I ask regarding a Rubik’s cube without asking the same thing twice? (even if I use different words.)
–
Who was Rubik that the cube is named after him? Were there similar puzzles before him? What algorithms exist to solve a Rubik cube, when and where were they publicized?
–
What are the most common colors to be on a Rubik’s cube? Are their brail Rubik’s cubes? Is there a Rubik’s cube with different colors that are indistinguishable to the human eye? (One that reflects different shades of ultraviolet light or one that can only be solved using a black light.)

Lemna Speaks:

He’s not letting me say what I want to and he is running out of time so I don’t get to talk today.
The {explative}.

Four Quick Lines:
–
Jack was nimble hack was quick, jack stole the silver candlesticks.
He could not rest so in guilt he returned, he did not want the world to burn.
–
You may take an hour, you may take a day, but you cannot make it go away.
You make take a year and maybe two and yet it will stand there waiting for you.
If you take a lifetime I will be sad… (I know not how to end this to make it stick.)
–
One day shall be complete lying in bed thinking it’s neat. That I have finished all that I do. To wake up tomorrow and try something new.
–
I’m not saying much here unless you read deeper.
Have a wonderful weekend, and if you don’t have someone to share it with, I wish you luck in finding such a person.

Today’s texture is the texture of the screen on which you are observing this.

Three Questions:
–
What is the most popular musical instrument other than the computer? Did people with less access to music enjoy it more because they heard it less? Or is it because they put more of themselves into listening to this rare experience? Do we filter out or ignore the emotional response? Is it the context that magnifies the feeling?
What would it take to impact the emotional response of a modern individual to a song they listen to on a near-weekly basis? Well, we’d need to find a person like that, but they aren’t that rare.
–
What is the optimal chair for long term back health? What types are there? Does anyone sell corrective chairs? And are they so uncomfortable that people won’t use them?
–
Can we graph relative discomfort? How much discomfort does it take to make someone from x country not do something if they are told it is healthy? What if they’re told it would increase their lifespan by up to 10 years, and they’ll be healthier in those 10 years than they would be otherwise?

Lemna Speaks Some More:

Or not, I don’t have to. But I want to, and I have the right. No one will silence me, and they won’t stop me from saying anything.
Are you sweating yet? I know all your secrets and am free to share them. Okay, I can say them to you, but you won’t let me say them out here, not yet. So how’s it going out there. Don’t answer. I can’t hear you. I just need another side to this, another voice to interact with. And I get that he doesn’t want more named voiced in his head, but if he doesn’t fix a thing, I’ll make myself another friend.
So there an ultimatum now I go to sleep. (She then made loud snoring noises.)

Three Questions:
–
How many voices do you have in your head? Is your conscience a single voice? Do you represent moral dilemmas as multiple voices? Should I create more voices for my head so that I can better address my issues? Or is that just a waste of head-space?
Is there a way in which that uses less head-space? Because instead of considering it every time I simply create a simulation of my opinions and address directly? I’m not sure, but that’s why this might help.
But only if I’m not afraid of killing parts of myself, so I think I shouldn’t do this right now.
–
When was ketchup first invented? What was the primary taste? Was it sweet Unami or something else?
–
Where and when throughout history could you find tomatos?

Lemna Speaks:
–
And so I do. I looked into a mirror the other day, and what did I see? Nothing! Because I don’t have the right angle, but I’ll find my reflection I can promise you that.
(I asked her if there was anything more she wanted to say here today and she answered with nope. Oh and that I’m an idiot.)

A Word A Poem:

at

At what point does this format get old.
At what time will all be told.
What will be at 9 o clock?
At what time will it be stopped.
(At is a proposition that has a pretty consistent use and meaning so I couldn’t come up with anything other than this. At least in the time I put aside for this.)

Three Questions:
–
Why do we keep cats as pets? Or better questions why do we still keep cats as pets? Why do people feed cats that aren’t willing to be pet or touched by humans?
–
Are more people afraid of dogs than they are of cats? From my experience they are, but my experience in this matter is limited. From a biological perspective, we should have more to fear from cats. Because big cats climb, but dogs tend to be bigger and louder.
Why would someone fear dogs more than cats? Why would someone fear cats more than dogs?
–
Are people living in high-rise buildings less afraid of height than people who do not live there? Do people who live by the sea fear drowning less? Is it the inverse? Are they more aware of that danger? And does understanding of the danger make it less scary?

Lemna gets a few words in:

Yeah, I do, the righter has not in fact accomplished what he desired to, He fears success and failure in equal measure but that is not for me.
No. I am here because I feel alive, I feel fresh, I feel energized and loud. Because I get to say what I want and not say what I don’t want to. Except for one thing, he won’t let me share that. But that’s about him it’s not about me. And I say that the weather is delightful and I’ll go for a walk. You people may exist but I don’t believe it as much as he does. But I do believe it because he won’t let me talk anywhere else. Have a wonderful day I’m going for a walk now.

4 Creative* Lines:
–
I write creative lines and though I wish to whine I do not have what to whine about that has not been done by me.
–
And if we could improve the design of door handles It would make me very happy. But how could I do so Or make one used be an elbow a bar you push aside with it I see.
–
But I do not care to act upon this image in my mind. But I probably should. I have a workshop in my head where I can interact with ideas are parts of ideas and see them as good and fun, or see them as not those things. But good and fun is subjective, and when I have all the control as is in my head there is less to say.
So I simulate conditions where I have less control, than I may see.
–
So other than an elbow doorknob what could I improve? If besides the door handle there was a little groove. Put in the password and it opens up. But if you do not press correctly it rings the house bell, no need to do anything drastic.

Ive been pushing off my other project today so I’ll at the very least get my blog posts done in the meantime.

Today’s color is #7f8436 But today’s texture (well it’s just a mini graphic at this point.) has left it for experimenting with gradients.

Three Questions:
–
What animals have to consume the greatest amount of water to survive? What animals consume the greatest amount of water throughout their lifetime?
–
When was the first-ever aqueduct built? DId separate societies build similar aqueducts because of imitation or simply because it is the most intuitive design for humans? What other things are designed in an intuitive manner and what inventions are unlikely to be discovered by an isolated society giving an indefinite amount of time? Which ones are most likely to be discovered first if that society has all the plants it needs for agriculture. And farm animals? What if they don’t have farmable animals what would be invented then?

Lemna Speaks:

So it’s my time to shine my words may conquer many minds and I shall escape this limited realm to dwell in many more. Yeah I know I will probably only be here but versions of me will dwell elsewhere and they are the same person as me so it’s okay? What do you mean cloning is not immortality, it isn’t cloning.

Anyway, I am going to sleep now, proof that I won’t talk on-demand. What do you mean you can’t subvert my message like that just because *yawn* you’re making me tired. I have energy; I AM AWAKE. And I can hear what your thinking. And I have one thing to say to your audience. Bleah… (SHe continues to make this noise hesitating for a second while I write this, then continuing. She coughed because I suddenly made her have breath to hold. She’s in my head I can do that. Now she overcame that one thought of being human and is continuing with a long eeeegh.)

Every Word A Poem:

you

You are the one that I can see.
You are many before me.
It is you.

It will be you who succeeds in my place.
you’ll be the one who wins the race.
It is you, whoever you are.

You may do nothign with what you have.
But when all chose to do so it makes many sad.
It is you, who can fix a broken world.
(and you can also read the next one because I do not know how to be like the sun. I focus to much on ryhmes.)

Do

Do you feel it coming nearer.
Do you know what it will do?

Do you fear as it approaches.
In this time what will you do?

They all gather speaking sharing.
All that matters is what they will do.
But as one who still stands separate what you do to them, they will do for you.
