Do you ever think of organizations as people? People personify Google and stuff all the time, but I mean something deeper.
When I look at devRant threads, I feel like we're all part of a collective consciousness, growing and thinking and making decisions. Society is a living thing of its own, in the same way that living cells unknowingly make up an individual body. When a question is asked from one node, another node answers, and the result is a repository of questions, answers, opinions, and jokes on an app that might appear as the scrolling thoughts of a singular mind rife with pure, aggressively structured information.

    Datacenters need energy, they collect sunlight and burn carbohydrates, refined and transported through arteries. Day and night tick like heartbeats, billions of camera eyes look at the world, sensors measure all that moves. Humans weigh inputs like neurons, use currencies as agonists and inhibitors to make cell like companies split and be consumed, swell and die.

    Incredible amounts of concepts at many scales follow evolutionary laws, have these merge/fork/grow/die properties, oscillate to provide stability, and have resource and communication patterns which resemble neural nets and distributive circulatory systems.

    Even ideas fuck with each other, mutate, reproduce, and die if they're not viable, and all of humanity is like a slower brain which picks up on individual impulses, trying to propagate and mimic patterns — acting on strong signals and discarding the outliers.

    @bittersweet By that great analogy, I can see my brain as a sort of skyscraper nightclub/brothel complex where polysexual ideas go to get wasted and have one night stands, then forget everything the next day from the hangover 🤔

    @Shodan You are a true asset to the multiorganism. We thank you for proving syntropy through existence, for sacrificing yourself as the stained testbed of debauchery and deviance.

    @chadd17 Go to the mountains or someplace remote for solitude, it's always reset my stress levels and cleared my mind.
