‘So THAT’S why he sleeps so much’

Sdtrk: ‘I promise’ by Peter Peter

Generally speaking, I can somewhat understand the reasoning behind people wanting to get out of their own heads, whether through recreational drugs or preoccupation, cos it seems more than a few people can’t deal with their own thoughts. It should be painfully obvious, however, that personally, I absolutely love being in my own head, as I find it more interesting than what goes on in the external world. Maybe ‘interesting’ isn’t the best-fitting word, but generally speaking, it’s much more welcoming in here.

    I know, right?? I just want to tell people ‘have you SEEN existence?? Especially the current state of global affairs in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Three?? There’s nothing I can particularly recommend about it.’

    how did i miss this one!

    personally, i’m on the “existence is pretty cool” side of the fence. but i sometimes have to drag msg over to that side of the fence with me, so i get the other perspective too!

    say hi to shi-chan and the girls for me!

    Personally, I think it’s a Doll thing, as the Missus and Bailes are constantly encouraging me, bolstering me, and cheering me up in general. Maybe it’s due to the nature of Synthetik existence; a sort of ‘compared to not being sentient, life and living overall is pretty neat!’ sort of thing. There honestly should be a university course revolving round The Synthetik Perspective of Existence: ‘Do Dolls Dream of Stuffed Sheep?’ or something along those lines. I’d take it!

    And I’ll say hi to my partners (and partner’s partner) if you say Hey to your partners! And your partners’ partners’ partners!

    I very rarely think in words, even when doing very technical tasks.
    I don’t notice it until someone asks me to tell them what I’m doing and I have to stop and noodle out a language based narrative of the process I’m following, including decision tree branches and whatnot.
    For this reason I think living in my head would eventually turn me feral.

    Turn you feral, you say. ZING

    See, now I’m curious as to how that works for you. Do your thoughts come in symbols or ciphers? Do you see shapes as opposed to hearing an internal monologue?
    If Organik human thought processes were a map, most of it would be labelled Terra Incognita.
