Cthulhu is the CEO of, and the entire board of an international company that was originally started by selling second hand pencils, and is now in control of 2/3 of the worlds food supply, ceiling fans, caste iron cookware, navel ship contracts, fire alarm and led light bulb multinational alliances, crawfish bait stores, mesh trucker hats, smart TVs...

It's far above anything as simple as one countries president.

You ever heard of "belly-button shots"? Well a navel ship is what you get if you float a tiny boat on one.

But it bothers me too, not as mistakes by other people, but when I do it - I meant one thing but out came the other, it's frustrating and feels uncanny/alien, like having your controls mapped wrong in a video game.
Yet I will not endure the fatigue of living without gesture-typing on my phone (the fantastic HeliBoard, but with a proprietary google gesture typing library). I ofc always have automatic autocorrect off (just suggesting are on), but with gestures you have to correct things like "it"~"it's" like 50% of the time & my eyes are getting lazy.

I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it's the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it's the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.

In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I'm afraid... 😝

I think that's likely to happen. Once the Internet and digital media is gone the information age will become an information dark age to historians.

Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.

It's something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.

We've been created for this and are really good at it.
