The whole thing is about consciousness, the chapters are exploiting different aspects and queries about it.

I read A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness by V. S. Ramachandran a long time ago and found it super interesting. Might be a bit dated by now though.

Reminds me of the classic dad joke, to be told when driving by a cemetery:

“Did you know the people who live around here aren’t buried in this cemetery?”

“Why not?”

“Because they aren’t dead yet.”

Should be Motorke

I can only think of two.

1. Probably the scariest dream I ever had. Someone broke into my house trying to kill me. I ran into my bedroom and locked the door. They banged against the door until they smashed it open, and then I saw them run over and kill me over and over again while a voice said “You are not a normal human. You are a monster. You are the end of the world.” Freaked me out for a while.

2. My username here is from a dream I had a long time ago. I was in a movie theater watching a preview, and I don’t remember anything about it except at the end, the title, “pruwyben”, flashed across the screen in a shiny blue font. At the time it seemed like the funniest thing ever.

This is really cool

What do you mean by “mean”?

Thank you

It’s about 100 meters in diameter

That’s about 1 football field for any Americans here.

“What about this one?”

“That’s Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster”

This isn’t a common term but it’s something I recently learned that’s kind of funny - the country Timor-Leste is named from the Malay word timur, meaning “east”, and the Portuguese word leste, meaning “east”. So it’s literally “East East”.

I thought the same thing. It seems like the commonly accepted order (Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, and Purpose) doesn’t include emotion, so that might be what makes it ambiguous.

Or it might be the meaning behind the words - when Bob Ross says “happy little accidents”, he’s not saying the accidents are happy but that they’re a good thing, so this is more like an opinion, while “big angry intents” sounds more like the intents are themselves angry.

This, apparently.

Similarly, peel and unpeel.
