13 Feb Human battery juice
On my way out to grab some lunch, I saw something that made me think about us. Are we human batteries? I guess that we kind of are like batteries in a way since we do run out of juice eventually.
In the past, I have had some strange delusions about the fact that maybe we could live FOREVER! I am not absolutely sure how the longevity or telomere project is going, but as far as I know, people are still dying from old age, among other things, unfortunately.
The battery packet on the street made me think about food and how it is our fuel or our juice. We are very predictable humans. We need to eat and sleep regularly and our bodily functions kind of do operate like a machine of sorts.
We are human machines! With flesh and blood, and feelings, which animals have too and thoughts. It is true that if we didn’t have thoughts then we would have not perhaps made these technological machines that we love so much today!
As humans, we are more delicate and fragile than machines. We need our fuel. So it is so nice that we have so many amazing places to fuel up (at least in many places in Australia)!

Posted at 20:56h, 10 MarchIt *is* interesting. We are pretty amazing feats of engineering. We just keep moving and thinking and living by the power of food and water!!
Millions of years of evolution has brought us to this point.
I hope we don’t waste it on a meaningless dopamine fix, and the tech feudalism of the oligarchy.
The most amazing thing to me is that we have this thread of consciousness. I am the same person I was yesterday and I remember things from my whole life. And so are you. It is quite remarkable.
I wish we were kinder to animals. They are such beautiful creatures. 🙂
