There is no AI, what we have is precisely cognitive conformity as a service that replaces conventional information search. We all should be fucking scared.

One could say that PDFs allow unique copy protection features, which is true. However, one mustn't forget that copy protection is yet to deserve it's right to exist at all.

Autistic experience is talking about your entire body this way. "The body is irritated" or "the body is overwhelmed".
Especially when shutting down, thinking like that helps cope with the feeling of being "helplessly trapped".
This urge had been with me all my life. Periodically I dream about walking through empty streets with no people at all like in the beginning of "28 days later".
It always feels a bit somber, like I imagine a missing limb would ache to remind that it used to be there, but calm and comforting at the same time.
I can walk wherever I want, look anywhere I want, without consciously thinking about the direction of my gaze, unafraid to glare and stim and dance and yell and sing, right in the middle of the street. Finally, the inner voice policing my being for not being "normal enough" goes quiet.
As soon as the feeling of liberation barely touches my soul, I wake up.
