BLOG 2, extended phenotype.
I want nothing to do with people that are unlike me. I see myself as the most reasonable manifestation of what is many possible manifestations. That is i am the most reasonable sum of decisions, actions, behaviours and opinions out of all the given decisions, actions, behaviours and opinions i have been given liberty to choose among. For anyone to be different from me means they are not as good as me- not objectively but in relation to my own particular values. Everyone has mind but there is clear variation in the amount of mind each person has access to. For me, to interact with anyone of mind lesser is unappealing, since for another person to be relatable, useful, insightful, or understandable, they must have similar portion of mind. Certain actions and therefor modes of dress (since most people are picking their own clothes) signify different kinds of mind. For instance if a item of clothing of little utility or beauty appears suddenly on many people and in many shops, and i see a person wearing this item of clothing, we can safely judge this person as having bought and worn something only because of its popularity among others, as we have established that the clothing item is neither something lending particular usefulness or particular loveliness. Wether or dressing based on the dress of others is an endearing quality or not is up to the reader, however it is without question that if one can reasonably determine some kind of mental quality from an individuals dress, that they are also at liberty to treat that individual exactly as if they had conveyed the same property of character through their own spoken word. For me, i constantly judge and profile people, and to brilliant accuracy. Its something in fact that most people do in their subconscious, so for me to do the same but only consciously, is no worse.




BLOG 1, thoughts on web design.
As hollow as i am i still like looking at nice things. If anything i appreciate novel things more than i appreciate nice things. If you strive very hard to abandon any sense of self, and are successful in purging any tangible inclination towards any one particular thing above any other particular thing, left only with your own ability to observe, and nothing else superficial, naturally one will prefer to observe a variety of things rather than things that are all very similar. So i will say that i dislike modern web design. I dislike the same thing repeatedly. It is a very unfortunate waste of aesthetic potential to use something as exotic as illuminated pixels to repeatedly form and illuminate the same kinds of images. The screen pixel should be recognised by humanity for its novelty, and it should therefore be used first and foremost as a means to project into the eyes imagery both pleasant and novel. For the screen to project now images primarily displeasant for viewing shows to me personally that there is something deeply deviant about the way machines are used and viewed by society. Here we have squares and rectangles we can use for the display of anything thinkable, and they are treated with such nonchalance to the point of it being accepted by people broadly that they may display images and project forms widely regarded as displeasing. It is however, not the priority of the human that they are presented with images pleasant. This is something people do not think about or ponder upon, for many may even lack the ability to do so in the first place. So uninspired by beauty and loveliness is the average person that he will lend his gaze unbegrugingly upon the ill projections of the machine, not at once yearning for something more pleasant to emerge out of its illuminations. This is one reason i dislike you.
