Acquired Cognitive Reserve can protect from brain disease or injury. More schooling, “cognitively stimulating work”, leisure and social activities, & “Early-Life Cognitive Enrichment” are all thought to generate backup brain circuitry to buffer the loss of brain cells & the links between them to AD.
This is just wild speculation, but what if furries and species-dysphoria originate from mirror-neurons that accidentally get incorporated into the brain's self-image circuitry, either during formative years or accumulating over a lifetime? We really need fMRI tests on therians.
I love my supporting cast in "Magica Riot," too, like Saoirse, the rather colorful & eccentric magical armorer of our Portland magical girls.
The middle of the sun disk in the center of the woman's mask is a slightly altered biohazard/mutagen symbol, an important reference to the plot. 5/7
Sam Altman to Become OpenAI Overlord https://isglitch.com/article/20240930-sam-altman-to#isGlitch#tech#technology#ai#artificialIntelligence
The next major structures will include, first, a proper barn primarily for harvesting my wheat fields and turning the output into seed oil, dough, and biomass. I’ll need these as the starting materials for advanced circuitry. I’ll also try to automate milk and wool production too.
After that, automating soul sand by using fans and soul fire to haunt normal sand. This can then be washed to produce unseemly amounts of nether quartz as well as a bit of gold. Quartz can be processed down and combined with iron nuggets to make basic circuitry for Create‘s advanced automation.
WIP: sad girl hours part 2
Watching the 1973 Westworld movie and I really feel like the guests are doing more than $1000 a day in damage, even in 1973 dollars. No wonder the park cheaped out on the "don't kill humans" circuitry.
