Testimony

Ryan Drummond:

I often tell Alice: “I don’t feel like I really live a human life any more. I just walk around processing information and responding to stimuli accordingly. It’s strange. But it gets things done in accordance with natural law.”

I think once you start unpacking things in that sort of way – you feel more machine than man. But there is a deep, deep comfort in it. And an immense sense of control and understanding.

Eric Danelaw:

yeah. let’s commiserate. 😉 It’s kind of creepy. But you have SO MUCH AGENCY.

Ryan Drummond:

I think I will always find it a bit creepy, yet comforting.

But not quite comforting enough…because Agency is omniscience and omnipresence, and I certainly have neither of those.

Perhaps that’s why I find it creepy…

We have much more work to do as a species…
