A Prophetic Conversation; All That I Have Learned For You So Far.
9:22:00 PM metalgearsqualid: well hello there
9:23:02 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it's me,
9:23:08 PM Amanda Faye Cain: post more fucking videosilove you
9:23:23 PM metalgearsqualid: I gotta make more videos first
9:23:40 PM metalgearsqualid: or do you mean the youtube weirdo stuff
9:23:44 PM Amanda Faye Cain: both
9:23:56 PM metalgearsqualid: heck yeah!
9:34:34 PM metalgearsqualid: so recently I have been obsessed with the artist Kazuo Umezu
9:34:53 PM Amanda Faye Cain: ::looks up::
9:35:16 PM Amanda Faye Cain: ooohh.. that guy.
9:35:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: he eats like you.
9:35:44 PM metalgearsqualid: and dresses like I want to dress
9:35:53 PM Amanda Faye Cain: haha.
9:36:01 PM metalgearsqualid: but dude he turned his house into a museum to himself
9:36:13 PM metalgearsqualid: with a plucky girl curator and everything
9:36:21 PM metalgearsqualid: I want to do the same thing
9:36:41 PM Amanda Faye Cain: DO IT.
9:36:48 PM Amanda Faye Cain: that's so mamazing.
9:36:51 PM Amanda Faye Cain: hhaha
9:36:57 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I've always wanted to do that.
9:37:15 PM metalgearsqualid: I'm just suprised at how energetic and spritely he still is, for being 70+
9:37:59 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I KNOW
9:38:26 PM metalgearsqualid: If I can keep up this pace for another 50 years, I may be able to live up to his name
9:39:57 PM metalgearsqualid: and there was a point I was slowly getting at, but I already forgot it
9:40:20 PM metalgearsqualid: so, the new point is, I like japanese cartoons because apparently I will never grow up
9:40:45 PM metalgearsqualid: trapped in neverneverland
9:41:06 PM Amanda Faye Cain: so.
9:41:21 PM metalgearsqualid: I think I would like alwaysalwaysland better
9:43:57 PM metalgearsqualid: I think I just found my new "style role model"
9:43:58 PM metalgearsqualid: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3610/myg2001.e2/0_2b7ce_aa6b251e_XL.jpg
9:44:26 PM metalgearsqualid: russian, of course
9:46:44 PM Amanda Faye Cain: my fucking computer is slow.
9:47:17 PM metalgearsqualid: blow it up
9:47:28 PM metalgearsqualid: launch it into outer space
9:48:11 PM Amanda Faye Cain: jolt man
9:49:53 PM metalgearsqualid: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/3533008869_1f8679b8f2_o.jpg ?!
9:50:37 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i can't fucking look at anything.
9:51:49 PM metalgearsqualid: daaaang
9:51:58 PM metalgearsqualid: e-castrated
9:52:07 PM Amanda Faye Cain: hold on.
9:52:17 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i'm trying to rectify the situation.
9:52:23 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i'm writing on lj again btw.
9:53:37 PM metalgearsqualid: oh nice
9:53:44 PM metalgearsqualid: yeah, nobody uses it anymore
9:53:47 PM metalgearsqualid: safe from prying eyes
9:53:53 PM Amanda Faye Cain: RIGHT.
9:53:57 PM Amanda Faye Cain: that's the point.
9:54:02 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i wrote more when no one bothered me.
9:54:18 PM metalgearsqualid: the teenage base that it founded on has grown up and moved to facebook
9:54:34 PM metalgearsqualid: nothing left but russians and spam bots
9:55:21 PM metalgearsqualid: Don't you hate that big business have even found a way to centralize and herd everybody up into just a few places on the internet too
9:55:26 PM metalgearsqualid: as they have done in real life
9:55:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I KNOW
9:55:40 PM metalgearsqualid: the internet is literally infinite, anything you could ever want to make or see
9:55:42 PM Amanda Faye Cain: FUCK THAT>
9:55:45 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I LOVE OBSCURITY
9:55:52 PM metalgearsqualid: and yet, people got a list of maybe four websites that they cycle through
9:56:04 PM metalgearsqualid: never daring to explore beyond theior comfort zones
9:57:09 PM metalgearsqualid: I want to see every digital nook and cranny on the web
9:57:50 PM metalgearsqualid: actually, what really sucks is that all of the old gold, the cool tripod geocities angelfire cornerstones of the crazy internet are all being taken down
9:57:56 PM metalgearsqualid: as the server farm companies go under
9:58:37 PM metalgearsqualid: all that information, lost to time
9:59:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I KNOW
9:59:36 PM Amanda Faye Cain: all the crazy shit is leaving.
9:59:47 PM Amanda Faye Cain: fuck information. we dont use any of it.
10:00:05 PM metalgearsqualid: we're animals, we don't use anything
10:00:08 PM metalgearsqualid: but it passes the time
10:00:08 PM Amanda Faye Cain: were all going to die in a few years anyway because we cant get out of our fucking cars for a minute.
10:00:22 PM Amanda Faye Cain: except for people like us, of course; survivors.
10:00:37 PM metalgearsqualid: and then what?
10:00:47 PM metalgearsqualid: a swiss family robinson utopia?
10:01:25 PM Amanda Faye Cain: maybe.
10:01:27 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i mean, i hope.
10:01:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: fuck money.
10:01:37 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i just want to live.
10:01:37 PM metalgearsqualid: well anyways, if you decide to start a commune or something, when everything maybe collapses. could I totally run the library
10:01:58 PM metalgearsqualid: provided we all don't go book-burning crazy
10:01:58 PM Amanda Faye Cain: there will be no library. only akira-like happenings.
10:02:24 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i talked to a neuroscientist about that recently.
10:02:39 PM Amanda Faye Cain: he says that my hypothesis is probable.
10:02:43 PM Amanda Faye Cain: <3
10:02:53 PM metalgearsqualid: your hypothesis being what?
10:03:20 PM metalgearsqualid: telekinesis?
10:03:26 PM Amanda Faye Cain: no no
10:03:36 PM Amanda Faye Cain: like mind over matter.
10:03:50 PM Amanda Faye Cain: like nanotechnology but in your head.
10:04:07 PM Amanda Faye Cain: having things without them really being there.
10:04:18 PM metalgearsqualid: an endless dream?
10:04:27 PM Amanda Faye Cain: paprika for real.
10:04:33 PM metalgearsqualid: plugging ourselves into the Mainframe
10:04:42 PM Amanda Faye Cain: no mainframe to plug in to.
10:04:50 PM Amanda Faye Cain: think about it this way:
10:05:33 PM Amanda Faye Cain: if we had not chosen the path we are on, even before luddites and the industrial revolution, our minds would still have evolved.
10:05:57 PM Amanda Faye Cain: we would still be thinking about crazy shit.
10:06:10 PM Amanda Faye Cain: but the funny thing is that we really are killing ourselves.
10:07:05 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i'm doing all this research on ADHD and have found that the genes related to ADHD (DRD4 and DAT1) are considered "hunter genes".
10:07:23 PM metalgearsqualid: meaning what
10:07:33 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Before we settled down, these genes helped us scan environments for food, possible threats, etc...
10:07:57 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Now that we are stationary agriculturalists, we no longer need these genes.
10:08:04 PM metalgearsqualid: well yeah, we are a pacified and sedated culture
10:08:05 PM Amanda Faye Cain: But they are still here.
10:08:22 PM metalgearsqualid: anything out of the norm is considered a threat to the status qou and is supressed
10:08:31 PM Amanda Faye Cain: But usually we adapt advantageously.
10:08:40 PM Amanda Faye Cain: And so do our genese.
10:08:58 PM Amanda Faye Cain: So... we still have them, which means we still need them.
10:09:18 PM Amanda Faye Cain: On top of that... Ice ages happen naturally, even if we don't fuck things up.
10:09:44 PM Amanda Faye Cain: So... I'm thinking that the ones who still have ADHD will be extremely necessary soon.
10:10:28 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Because this is the first time in history that we have not had a usual "ice age" scenario, which used to happen every 12-24 years.
10:10:44 PM Amanda Faye Cain: We think we can control life, but we are just killing ourselves.
10:11:29 PM Amanda Faye Cain: So... this whole 2012 thing could be true... and I think that there is no way to stop people from what is going on.
10:12:24 PM Amanda Faye Cain: And when it is all gone (all material nonsense) we will have a VERY LONG PERIOD of stasis where those who have the hunter genes will be necessary again.
10:12:44 PM Amanda Faye Cain: And we will finally be able to use our minds, or learn from our lesson.
10:12:48 PM Amanda Faye Cain: The end.
10:13:03 PM metalgearsqualid: I think that it will be harder to make people forget about their comforts than you think
10:13:21 PM Amanda Faye Cain: But the people who rely on those comforts are the ones who will not survive.
10:13:36 PM Amanda Faye Cain: They are used to being stationary.
10:15:34 PM metalgearsqualid: I for one will be devestated to see the internet go
10:16:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: No you wont. I promise. All the information will be accessible in your head.
10:16:43 PM metalgearsqualid: I don't know, i've got a terrible memory
10:16:49 PM Amanda Faye Cain: It's not about that.
10:17:03 PM Amanda Faye Cain: watch akira again and really think about it.
10:17:17 PM metalgearsqualid: I have thought about Akira a lot
10:17:29 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i think it would be like everything ever combined and controlled by you.
10:18:03 PM Amanda Faye Cain: so, instead of using the internet (everyone else's perspectives) you would be using your mind (your perspective).
10:18:11 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Its like being self sufficient.
10:18:19 PM metalgearsqualid: but people would still have fear and pride and wants and etc etc
10:18:28 PM metalgearsqualid: there would still be clashes of personality and power grabs
10:18:34 PM metalgearsqualid: and the whole routine would start over
10:19:05 PM Amanda Faye Cain: no no no.
10:19:10 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it can't.
10:19:35 PM metalgearsqualid: unless you are proposing brainwashing on a massive scale, and that is morally effed
10:19:38 PM Amanda Faye Cain: we would be "without" for so long, and plus, like i said, those who have that mindset would perish.
10:19:39 PM metalgearsqualid: as seen on tv
10:19:46 PM Amanda Faye Cain: no.
10:19:49 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it would just happen.
10:20:06 PM metalgearsqualid: believe all you want, there will always be want
10:20:10 PM metalgearsqualid: it is the human condition
10:20:13 PM Amanda Faye Cain: just think of a world where everyone is so confident that they are selfsufficient.
10:20:15 PM Amanda Faye Cain: ego less
10:20:16 PM metalgearsqualid: unless we transcend humanity
10:20:22 PM Amanda Faye Cain: but we're still evolving.
10:20:43 PM Amanda Faye Cain: so right now, you could say it is the Homo sapien sapien condition.
10:22:04 PM metalgearsqualid: the only question I have is, what is the human consciousness, where did it come from, and where will it go?
10:22:13 PM metalgearsqualid: why are we the only animal that can imagine
10:23:12 PM Amanda Faye Cain: that's the fucking point of existence for me.
10:23:22 PM Amanda Faye Cain: we are killing ourselves by trying to figure that out.
10:24:18 PM Amanda Faye Cain: for instance, i watched a 2 hour documentary today about a geneticist who spent like 5 years flying and driving all over the world just to make a movie about the origin of man and his travels across the world.
10:24:27 PM Amanda Faye Cain: he probably spent so much fucking money.
10:24:33 PM Amanda Faye Cain: and gas
10:24:42 PM metalgearsqualid: everyone wants a slice of the fame pie
10:24:46 PM Amanda Faye Cain: and destroyed cultures by coming in contact with them
10:24:52 PM Amanda Faye Cain: FUCK FAME PIE.
10:24:57 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I'm way past that shit.
10:26:04 PM Amanda Faye Cain: and at the end of the movie, he proved absolutely nothing.
10:26:15 PM Amanda Faye Cain: for fuck's sake tim, look at you.
10:26:17 PM metalgearsqualid: anyways, cultures morph and change all the time, though it is irresponsible to stomp them without at least recording what they used to be
10:26:42 PM Amanda Faye Cain: don't feel like you have to be someone important. you're a better man for staying relatively hidden from the masses.
10:27:16 PM Amanda Faye Cain: yeah, but again, we don't learn from our fucking mistakes, so all of this data storage is pointless.
10:27:28 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i love you by the way.
10:27:33 PM metalgearsqualid: I was enmeshed in the youth rat race, wanting to be a "trend setter" and the coolest dude, but I realize everyone else is doing that so I dont' have to
10:27:36 PM metalgearsqualid: I uh, love you too
10:27:37 PM metalgearsqualid: hahh
10:29:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: seriously. i got this shit on lock and it is because i don't want to know anything.
10:30:18 PM metalgearsqualid: spring cleaning
10:30:23 PM metalgearsqualid: get all that junk out of your head
10:30:35 PM metalgearsqualid: haunting your attic with trivia and bad memories
10:30:37 PM Amanda Faye Cain: right.
10:30:43 PM Amanda Faye Cain: let it all go.
10:31:08 PM metalgearsqualid: me on the other hand, want to achieve the same end, but through entirely opposite means
10:31:23 PM metalgearsqualid: "me want to"
10:31:30 PM metalgearsqualid: grammmmer
10:32:47 PM metalgearsqualid: of course, i'm just a human being, so the more information I collect, and the closer I get to "The Big Picture" the more unraveled and unhinged I get
10:33:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: grammar
10:33:39 PM metalgearsqualid: whoops
10:33:40 PM Amanda Faye Cain: EXACTLY.
10:33:50 PM metalgearsqualid: I always forget the e/a thing
10:34:00 PM Amanda Faye Cain: you should try for one week to just go outside and lay in some grass or something and not learn anything.
10:34:09 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it feels so fucking good.
10:34:14 PM Amanda Faye Cain: me too
10:34:45 PM metalgearsqualid: I would find myself staring at the clouds, trying to analyze and "figure them out"
10:34:59 PM metalgearsqualid: and pointing out shapes that only I see
10:35:04 PM Amanda Faye Cain: That's fine though.
10:35:25 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Because it's not like you are congesting your brain.
10:35:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Clouds are very important.
10:36:12 PM metalgearsqualid: so you need models, eh?
10:36:39 PM Amanda Faye Cain: yeah, man.
10:36:59 PM Amanda Faye Cain: people on the streets are too damn difficult these days.
10:37:12 PM Amanda Faye Cain: if you photograph someone they either want to kill you or you to pay them.
10:37:40 PM metalgearsqualid: tv told them that everyone is out to get them, or to profit off them
10:37:46 PM metalgearsqualid: so now they are suspicious of everyone
10:38:03 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i know. i am so done with certain people. no one is a good listener anymore.
10:38:21 PM Amanda Faye Cain: all day long i tell people crazy shit like "i don't own a tv" and they don't hear it.
10:38:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: they don't care about shit. they are all mindless.
10:38:36 PM Amanda Faye Cain: well, some of them.
10:38:42 PM Amanda Faye Cain: you aren't/
10:39:01 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i'm gonna eat. brb.
10:39:11 PM metalgearsqualid: have a gas
10:39:22 PM metalgearsqualid: whatever that means
10:39:27 PM Amanda Faye Cain: haha. iknow.
10:39:29 PM metalgearsqualid: ciao for your chow
9:23:02 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it's me,
9:23:08 PM Amanda Faye Cain: post more fucking videosilove you

10:12:24 PM Amanda Faye Cain: And when it is all gone (all material nonsense) we will have a VERY LONG PERIOD of stasis where those who have the hunter genes will be necessary again.
10:12:44 PM Amanda Faye Cain: And we will finally be able to use our minds, or learn from our lesson.
10:12:48 PM Amanda Faye Cain: The end.
10:13:03 PM metalgearsqualid: I think that it will be harder to make people forget about their comforts than you think
10:13:21 PM Amanda Faye Cain: But the people who rely on those comforts are the ones who will not survive.
10:13:36 PM Amanda Faye Cain: They are used to being stationary.
10:15:34 PM metalgearsqualid: I for one will be devestated to see the internet go
10:16:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: No you wont. I promise. All the information will be accessible in your head.
10:16:43 PM metalgearsqualid: I don't know, i've got a terrible memory
10:16:49 PM Amanda Faye Cain: It's not about that.
10:17:03 PM Amanda Faye Cain: watch akira again and really think about it.
10:17:17 PM metalgearsqualid: I have thought about Akira a lot
10:17:29 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i think it would be like everything ever combined and controlled by you.
10:18:03 PM Amanda Faye Cain: so, instead of using the internet (everyone else's perspectives) you would be using your mind (your perspective).
10:18:11 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Its like being self sufficient.
10:18:19 PM metalgearsqualid: but people would still have fear and pride and wants and etc etc
10:18:28 PM metalgearsqualid: there would still be clashes of personality and power grabs
10:18:34 PM metalgearsqualid: and the whole routine would start over
10:19:05 PM Amanda Faye Cain: no no no.
10:19:10 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it can't.
10:19:35 PM metalgearsqualid: unless you are proposing brainwashing on a massive scale, and that is morally effed
10:19:38 PM Amanda Faye Cain: we would be "without" for so long, and plus, like i said, those who have that mindset would perish.
10:19:39 PM metalgearsqualid: as seen on tv
10:19:46 PM Amanda Faye Cain: no.
10:19:49 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it would just happen.
10:20:06 PM metalgearsqualid: believe all you want, there will always be want
10:20:10 PM metalgearsqualid: it is the human condition
10:20:13 PM Amanda Faye Cain: just think of a world where everyone is so confident that they are selfsufficient.
10:20:15 PM Amanda Faye Cain: ego less
10:20:16 PM metalgearsqualid: unless we transcend humanity
10:20:22 PM Amanda Faye Cain: but we're still evolving.
10:20:43 PM Amanda Faye Cain: so right now, you could say it is the Homo sapien sapien condition.
10:22:04 PM metalgearsqualid: the only question I have is, what is the human consciousness, where did it come from, and where will it go?
10:22:13 PM metalgearsqualid: why are we the only animal that can imagine
10:23:12 PM Amanda Faye Cain: that's the fucking point of existence for me.
10:23:22 PM Amanda Faye Cain: we are killing ourselves by trying to figure that out.
10:24:18 PM Amanda Faye Cain: for instance, i watched a 2 hour documentary today about a geneticist who spent like 5 years flying and driving all over the world just to make a movie about the origin of man and his travels across the world.
10:24:27 PM Amanda Faye Cain: he probably spent so much fucking money.
10:24:33 PM Amanda Faye Cain: and gas
10:24:42 PM metalgearsqualid: everyone wants a slice of the fame pie
10:24:46 PM Amanda Faye Cain: and destroyed cultures by coming in contact with them
10:24:52 PM Amanda Faye Cain: FUCK FAME PIE.
10:24:57 PM Amanda Faye Cain: I'm way past that shit.
10:26:04 PM Amanda Faye Cain: and at the end of the movie, he proved absolutely nothing.
10:26:15 PM Amanda Faye Cain: for fuck's sake tim, look at you.
10:26:17 PM metalgearsqualid: anyways, cultures morph and change all the time, though it is irresponsible to stomp them without at least recording what they used to be
10:26:42 PM Amanda Faye Cain: don't feel like you have to be someone important. you're a better man for staying relatively hidden from the masses.
10:27:16 PM Amanda Faye Cain: yeah, but again, we don't learn from our fucking mistakes, so all of this data storage is pointless.
10:27:28 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i love you by the way.
10:27:33 PM metalgearsqualid: I was enmeshed in the youth rat race, wanting to be a "trend setter" and the coolest dude, but I realize everyone else is doing that so I dont' have to
10:27:36 PM metalgearsqualid: I uh, love you too
10:27:37 PM metalgearsqualid: hahh
10:29:30 PM Amanda Faye Cain: seriously. i got this shit on lock and it is because i don't want to know anything.
10:30:18 PM metalgearsqualid: spring cleaning
10:30:23 PM metalgearsqualid: get all that junk out of your head
10:30:35 PM metalgearsqualid: haunting your attic with trivia and bad memories
10:30:37 PM Amanda Faye Cain: right.
10:30:43 PM Amanda Faye Cain: let it all go.
10:31:08 PM metalgearsqualid: me on the other hand, want to achieve the same end, but through entirely opposite means
10:31:23 PM metalgearsqualid: "me want to"
10:31:30 PM metalgearsqualid: grammmmer
10:32:47 PM metalgearsqualid: of course, i'm just a human being, so the more information I collect, and the closer I get to "The Big Picture" the more unraveled and unhinged I get
10:33:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: grammar
10:33:39 PM metalgearsqualid: whoops
10:33:40 PM Amanda Faye Cain: EXACTLY.
10:33:50 PM metalgearsqualid: I always forget the e/a thing
10:34:00 PM Amanda Faye Cain: you should try for one week to just go outside and lay in some grass or something and not learn anything.
10:34:09 PM Amanda Faye Cain: it feels so fucking good.
10:34:14 PM Amanda Faye Cain: me too
10:34:45 PM metalgearsqualid: I would find myself staring at the clouds, trying to analyze and "figure them out"
10:34:59 PM metalgearsqualid: and pointing out shapes that only I see
10:35:04 PM Amanda Faye Cain: That's fine though.
10:35:25 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Because it's not like you are congesting your brain.
10:35:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: Clouds are very important.
10:36:12 PM metalgearsqualid: so you need models, eh?
10:36:39 PM Amanda Faye Cain: yeah, man.
10:36:59 PM Amanda Faye Cain: people on the streets are too damn difficult these days.
10:37:12 PM Amanda Faye Cain: if you photograph someone they either want to kill you or you to pay them.
10:37:40 PM metalgearsqualid: tv told them that everyone is out to get them, or to profit off them
10:37:46 PM metalgearsqualid: so now they are suspicious of everyone
10:38:03 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i know. i am so done with certain people. no one is a good listener anymore.
10:38:21 PM Amanda Faye Cain: all day long i tell people crazy shit like "i don't own a tv" and they don't hear it.
10:38:32 PM Amanda Faye Cain: they don't care about shit. they are all mindless.
10:38:36 PM Amanda Faye Cain: well, some of them.
10:38:42 PM Amanda Faye Cain: you aren't/
10:39:01 PM Amanda Faye Cain: i'm gonna eat. brb.
10:39:11 PM metalgearsqualid: have a gas
10:39:22 PM metalgearsqualid: whatever that means
10:39:27 PM Amanda Faye Cain: haha. iknow.
10:39:29 PM metalgearsqualid: ciao for your chow
