Parasites kill their hosts through behavioral manipulation so their hosts allow it. Death comes from physical destruction via excessive consumption, disruption of the central nervous system, and/or overcoming immune defenses.

#ThoughtExperiment Bilionaires = parasites. See what I'm saying?

Genuine question: Are you really ok using the astronomically small chance that God exists as an excuse to mistreat the person standing right in front of you?

Panel 1: Two canines sit on a couch. One holds a joint and says “We need a lighter” The other shouts “Yo BOWSER” P 2: Bowser leans around a door way, seeming grumpy “what?” P3: “can you fart fire for the joint?” One asks “We need you to fart fire so we cab light the joint” P4: bowser grips the door way and cries a little. “I have to do EVERYTHING around here”

What if YOU were Roommates with BOWSER?

Change Doesn’t Always Come From Within Or, there’s no magic button

As a 16-year-old baby Queer who didn’t fit in, I’d have been sorely tempted, but as I got older, the impulse would fade. Sitting where I am now, a 59-year-old #Queer who is sure of who I am, the magic button to normalcy seems almost cliché.

Would I Press The Magic Queer Button To Become A Cisgender Woman? Unequivocally, irrevocably, resoundingly, YES.

For all those fears and concerns that other trans people have, I simply do not have them. So, without question, I am smashing that magic queer/trans button to make me a cisgender woman!

Would I Push The Queer Magic Button? Err… Like a “choose your own adventure” video game, you’ve put me on the spot…

Seriously though, who would even give me this button?
I’d be very skeptical; no thank you!
I’ve read way too many stories in my life where the lesson is “you don’t get anything for free.”

Would I Press the Queer Magic Button To Become a Cis Woman? What about the the fine print?

It’s not as if I haven’t wished at least a million times that there was a button that could instantly transform me into a cis woman.
But but but. What about the fine print?

We thought we were writing about modesty.
Turns out we were writing about power, fear, and free will.

Is it possible for a DJ to use those AI generated records to create a perfectly valid piece of music, or is the resultant musical product inherently tainted? #thoughtexperiment #justaskingquestions

AI isn’t the problem.
AI isn’t the solution.
Access is.

When a tool is built from the knowledge of everyone, it should work for everyone—like power, water, roads, and schools once did.

Why not treat AI as a utility? blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/01... #thoughtexperiment
