I thought the greatest pleasure in life was drinking from the skull of your enemy crushing all who oppose you cute boys cross-dressing being right pizza and nostalgic television?

... all I can really offer up as advice is to give a go at the fuckit genre. Screw gender, let's do robots. Or maybe ants. Asteroids! Tree-humping asteroids! Flesh-shaping sentient cacti. Whatever!

If the worry is about stuffing words in things mouths, write something without dialogue. If it's abusing character or whatever, kick that shit into overdrive and deconstruct or crackify everything. Do it intentionally so you won't do it accidentally -- with fanfiction, at least, the characters are not to be put on some pedestal, but torn down, ripped apart, and then have their entrails danced upon. Let fanon and canon be spat upon, and laugh in the face of those who complain!

If it's revealing things about how you view other humans, ditch the humans!

The only limitation or rule to writing is grammar, and that can be bent. So long as it's consistent and readable. Everything else is an artificial constraint to be used, abused, or discarded at will or whim.

---

... also, hundreds of pages of original fiction? Any significant amount of that in a single story and publicly available?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

This is basically the way I've been planning to go.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

And now I have dirt or dust or something in my left eye which is also my better eye.

That's brilliant. It's like 58008 upended on a calculator, only an order of magnitude more clever, and far more sappy and generally good.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Mostly it's the little moving pictures and all these symbols and letters and stuff. Like "beetles/crickets/insects", he says. I think it might be because he's going blind wth age, which is sort of depressing on its own.

Well to be honest, first time I saw it I thought it was a mess of alphabet soup. You need to remember that not everybody can see into the matrix like we can, it takes time and practice.

Is that a direct translation? How did they manage to verbally say 'you' with only one letter?
