Normal schools are not appropriately prepared for blind people. They're bullying hells for blind kids (from social exclusion to assault) and the lectures heavily rely on vision, so a blind kid will be left behind even when he makes audio recordings (can't write braille fast enough for useful notes), which some teachers may even take issue with, for extra drama.

True, it's a republic.

Enjoy the privilege of seeing multiple doctors as long as you still can. With steady cost reduction (AI, automation, less effort per patient) and increase in medical authoritarianism ("expert said so") that privilege is on thin ice. In the UK it's already normal to have a single area-designated doctor you're allowed to go to, and that doctor is also a gatekeeper to refer you to specialists. Hope he likes you! Beyond that, AI diagnosis would likely require an extensive medical online profile of you. Such e-med profiles obviously already exist in various countries, as opt-out features. In the name of cost reduction through automation, I'll be so free and call it: These profiles will become mandatory over the next ten years. Either way, good luck getting a second opinion once a false diagnosis ended up in your file or once AI continuously misidentifies a pattern present there.

Yes, you can only spend your attention on one coherent thing at a time. That coherent thing can be a movie (sound and video synced to create coherence), sex in the dark (tactile + sound), or a podcast (only sound - no correlation to other stimuli). All the things you aren't focusing on, kind of run on auto pilot. Why would that mean they're subject to different, separate consciousnesses? I'd just call them separate clusters of attention, running in low power mode, but connected to the same single consciousness nonetheless. The different clusters obviously influence each other, especially when an unexpectedly strong sensation triggers one of them, e.g. a beeping alarm makes you look for the source. According to the author, upon hearing an alarm, the acoustic consciousness must now expand itself to become the main consciousness, which then somehow also integrates with a bunch of previously different consciousnesses (e.g. the one to observe your surroundings) to solve a new problem. We just call that attention.

This is awesome. Might have some bugs as others mentioned but I like this idea, it's capable of producing some hilarious material in combination with swear words. Some of the word substitutions are too dissimilar for my taste though I'm sure it's difficult to get the tolerance right on your end.

Murder leaves evidence, namely the corpse/vanishing of the victim, which leads to investigations. Usage of a memory-wipe drug could remain totally undiscovered.

> It is time that we start honoring the courage and strength of depressed people. It is time we start valuing the incredible capacity of our biology to find a way in hard times. And it is time that we stop pretending depressed people are any different than anyone else.

The article's conclusion ends in a call for society to change its ways. Such an appeal is easy to make. What's not so easy is telling a depressed person what to do right now under the circumstance that society hasn't changed and likely isn't going to change.

Quick litmus test shows that this AI prefers an anti western conservative stance over neutrality.

> Outsider art is an umbrella term for any art made by self-taught individuals who are untrained and untutored in the traditional arts with typically little or no contact with the conventions of the art worlds.

Does this definition even matter when, in order to gain any significant recognition, outsider artists must get noticed and picked up by those same conventionalists of the art world?
