The purple train to groovy city song

Michael from the bad place ran out of creative juice halfway through writing the song so we’ll help him;

….

And a:

Right right round the mountain to groovy city

Left left round the valley to groovy city

Up left it’s the sun shinin down from abovvvw

Down yonder goes the bird swells

Start startin to swarm

Round…..

The purple train to groovy city!

Brent’s a toooouiiiiuulllleeetytt fullllllaaaaa brokliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeė

The good place argument that saves humans in the final experiment is “you don’t know what someone will do tomorrow just based on their Past: just look at Brent”

But with enough data, and over the right time intervals… you can predictively and probabilistically model what the outcome will be…

Unless… unless you’re modeling an almost truly random entity.

Then… and only then… you have no idea what tomorrow brings and in that sense…

Brent’s can be saved…

But it might take like having a near death / deathlike experience… to Re-SEE you’re perspectives on the angles of your brain tangles and how their folds have formed and how it’s stem has grown denser.

“You won, and you still somehow failed. Classic…. “

Life’s a bitch and then you die though, so might as well do the dying at least once while you’re alive!

See you at the crossroad crossroads

Step one: get a plan

Step two: do the plan

The old American promise that a persons home privacy is their castle. Before wire tapping and social media.

social networks are good for society, I prefer to focus on the potential we've yet to realize. We have the miracle of Wikipedia, yes, but aren't there more types of mass scale collaboration to be enabled?

Every other week or so, I am introduced to someone amazing, or an account I've never heard of before that blows me away. That social networks themselves aren't facilitating these introductions leaves me less sad than hopeful. In a decade, today's social graphs will look like blunt instruments, so primitive were their configurations.

We'll also look back over that decade, see how many more amazing people we finally met at the right time and the right context, and realize that indeed,

the real treasure was the friends we made along the way.
