Typical signs of a Chatbot going insane.

Wait, was a Chatbot ever sane to begin with?

But really, Gravity's Rainbow? That was for readers that did not have a mind in the first place, so how could they lose it?

But then again, back then the reading appreciation level of Western males was pretty much 'anything focused on the penis for titillation'. That is, basic adolescent male penis-and-guns obsession.

They didn't lose it they simply went beyond the zero, it just looks like they lost it from this perspective.

No, this is not a disentanglement from, but a progressive knotting into.

As in 'If you are progressive, do not read too much into that book."?

Well I wouldn't recommend it Against The Day, but I like the part that brings light to the Herero.

I am not sure I could ever get through that book, so I won't even start.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe you would though and then what?

I would miss not having read the hundred other books that I could have read instead, and really wanted to read

I have a really, really difficult time with alternative history, having taught the real thing.

There is no real history, just two lies and a peaceful joker in between.

[–] Daryl@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are three versions of history, yours mine, and the facts.
