"If you’ve had these symptoms of constipation or sitting on the toilet for a long time for more than three weeks, Monzur said it might be time to bring your concerns to your doctor."
I've never sat for more than three weeks on the toilet, so I'm good.
That's fine. Intelligence is an evolutionary dead end. It leads to unsustainable behavior. Maybe there are space-faring creatures, but I think they are more likely to be bacteria or maybe a tardigrade-like being that are hitching rides on comets or planetary ejecta.
Taking ships over vast distances to new worlds, meeting alien cultures, imperial conquests. That was the age of sail. It will never happen again like that.
When COVID hit, my American Airlines flight got canceled and when I went online to ask about getting credit, I got connected to a bot. When I asked to be connected to a real person instead of a bot, the person came online and said: "My name is Eliza. How can I help you today?" At this point, I was very skeptical, but she was indeed a person.
I saw Sun Ra and the Arkestra sometime in 1988 at Liberty Lunch in Austin, Texas. I believe it was just a few days before the "Live at the Pitt Inn" album was recorded in Japan. One of the best concert experiences I've ever had.
