My point is, when we study our preference for right angles, what we're studying is the interpreter. It has quirks.

Around 1995 the f150 hit the pinnacle of its design. Such a wonderful truck. Basically runs forever. I have one. My university has a fleet of them.

I wish they'd make them again.

We have an interpreter in our head. It maps and makes sense of the mysterious whatever. Some of it cultural, some biological. It is vast. There might not even be things and space.

For A problem like this. If I was going to do it with an algorithm I would just place shapes at random locations and orientations a trillion times.

It would be much easier with a discreet tile type system of course

I am not following your reasoning.

A translator and a creator are 2 completely different animals.

Ah, so you have done us a service.

To willingly live within a dream is certainly poor behavior.

But ya, an old idea. Supported by testimony of seers. Old as humanity.

That reply is barely 2d. It's like 1.5d.

Give it to me straight

 

It's part of my mind, or body, or thereabouts.

It's why dreams (and supposedly the afterlife) invariably involve time, space, people etc.

Raw reality is made of vibes or poetry. A song without words. Then the translator adds the words.

I think they refer to addiction to a specific kind of action or mode of existence.

I can't think if a name for it but it's what nazis, atrocity-doers, vampires and mass murderers are doing.

A total indulgence in domination. A total taking from the world. A total divorce from humanity. To lean totally into that and be transformed.

Apparently it's empowering, ecstatic and awful.

Yeah I don't get the philosophical details either. But it's a solid vibe.

Sunshine has a metaphorical role in it too, I think. There's a scene, towards the end, in the hospital. The vampire is exposed to bright daylight. And there's a crucifix on the wall iirc. Something there.
