  • The Boy with the incredible Brain

    I don't typically experience beauty or wonder or jealousy, particularly jealousy, like the rest of you. I'm quick to of course add that I in no way see myself as unique or special beyond the, if you'll forgive the term, common uniqueness, like one associates with go games or... more

    This does seem interesting, but I'm not going to watch the whole thing.

    I don't typically experience beauty or wonder or jealousy, particularly jealousy, like the rest of you. I'm quick to of course add that I in no way see myself as unique or special beyond the, if you'll forgive the term, common uniqueness, like one associates with go games or snowflakes, but I am absent the emotion of jealousy with regard to lovers or sharing. I would rather give my things away than sell them, so long as I know they will be enjoyed. When I am reluctant to share it is because of practical reasons, I share my meal I don't get as full, I share my computer my configuration is changed in unpredictable ways, etc, but something like permissiveness, such as sharing a lover, so long as there is no practical risk such as risk of loss, or risk from unsafe practice, etc, I simply don't feel that. Nor do I typically feel envy as most appear to. I don't care that others have more money or status, in a personal emotional sense, except when that wealth or status is at the cost of a person or persons suffering. For me it's a very abstract sort of game. But this, this made me cry just a bit with jealousy, wonder, and I will admit, a shameless self pity. I want so badly you be equipped with the neurological machinery needed to experience reality to this degree of intensity. That is the genesis of my complete backing of all forms of Direct human tinkering and Transhumanism. Everyone is so busy studying him, and all I can think of is what I would study if I had the pertinent bits of his neurological anatomy. I envy him like a man born blind envies sight. I see this man, who is very nearly my age, and I think of the happiness he could bring and I am overwhelmed with emotions. Rage and fear, at his under utilization (on so many levels), envy, as above, joy, of living proof of our potential. And hope at the fact that this occurred at random, on its own. Which I choose to believe makes doing it on purpose all the more likely to be easy. Compared to him, I feel like a man trapped in a box with a single pin hole in it that is opened at random for 2 seconds at a time while on a constant round the world trip, trying to figure out what the world is actually like using only those tiny glimpses. And while I think my hoel is a tiny bit bigger than normal, or situated in a better place, clearly this man has a much bigger hole, and I deeply envy his view. The potential for pleasure he has, the day he decides to put that view, to use for us all, is simply staggering.
