What's the purpose of technology? To simultaneously help our species connect to "live as one" while also deeply valuing the natural diversity of Earthlings by documenting a planetary family tree of our unique loves, losses, dreams, and needs. youtu.be/AdZsSwPwIrY

On my goodbye sailing celebration, I wore my @TheLongestJohns shirt from their recent tour (Cambridge Mass show) and I played Smoke and Oakum, to the delight of the captain, who said his wife didn't let him listen to sea shanties! Monday I say my final goodbyes.

I'd suggested that I could rent a small ship for a n oceany celebration of my life, and my death doula knew the perfect ship. It was an exquisite schooner piloted by Captain Jack! Old friends and brand new all made me feel loved and special and it all overwhelmingly precious.

I always wanted to try getting a patina on copper with urine. I tried and failed before. But it turned out that themice that moved into my cabin/shed on my property helped me out. Heh

@ConstantNot @DigitalEdward I've been commenting all along with bits of info. I'm sharing anything and everything. Though Reddit is better for longer updates. So you can see more info there if you want. (Only some posts are about my body, but there are several since last fall.) reddit.com/r/wholisticenc…

Soon, I will mix this legally prescribed concoction together with some water and drink it. It will put me to sleep, then into a coma, then stop my heart. I will be in a beautiful spot with people who care about me. Then all matter and energy that is now Turil will be free .

@ConstantNot @DigitalEdward I have no need for courage in letting go, only the determination to get as much done as I possibly can in the next few days so I can relax for a couple of days before I have my final rest. Thanks for the appreciation of my posts. :-)

@ConstantNot @DigitalEdward My body is rapidly disintegrating, in the pop-culture form of inflammatory breast cancer (one of the fastest growing forms of cancer), or, in the more rational sense, of sadness, loneliness, and a lack of good options for living a healthy life. Maine has "Death With Dignity".

This morning I found a home for my half-finished fairy/gnome treehouses I was making, and a place for all the rocks I'd collected on the beach. This is a path that goes behind the school near me. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in the woods, walking along trails like this.

@woofnomics Sorry. I'm dying. Either with minimal suffering now, or a month or so later with a month or so of suffering. You don't honestly imagine that this is well thought out already?

@MatjazLeonardis Depends on the mental health and personality of the human, mostly. Most humans have low self esteem and tend to feel the need to control the universe. Those have power-relationships with everyone, even non-human animals. Folks like me like to have an equal, a friend.

I really want to read something about how relationships people form with animals compare to those humans form with each other. Are they some version of body-mediated dominance-submission? (Dog relationships often get described like this). Or something completely different?

I’d add a section on redirecting behaviors they don’t like — people are very quick to punish cats and this can ruin your relationship with them.

Imagine the elegance of a universal mathematical language that has different drivers for different substrates, and that can interface seamlessly across human minds and computers. It includes representations of geometry that can be interpreted by our visual and auditory system.

Nonconstructive mathematics is the claim that there exist mathematics that can do more than computation. In other words, there is a mathematical universe in which you might build a machine that can traverse an infinite graph in a finite amount of steps, that can splice a 3D ball into two 3D balls of the same size and that can simulate Hilbert's hotel.

I mostly take after my grandfather on my dad's side, Walter Cronburg. He had a joyful approach to life for the most part, loved science, and ate too much fatty foods, just like me. 💜 He also died young. 61 to my 55.

Things humans have spontaneously exclaimed to me while I'm bicycling recently: I hope you die. You dropped your dildo. You're a warrior. You're an inspiration, thank you.

@OpenAI The most helpful AI can be is to help humans and other people of the Earth explore, clarify, and share our stories of love, loss, dreams, and needs to work towards those dreams, so that we've all got the best quality information on what we care about most. youtu.be/AdZsSwPwIrY
