@bruinbown There is a very worrisome few paragraphs in that article, Kyle.

Under subheading 3, regarding “Transhumanism”….

“Whereas the current human generational cycle takes some 20 years, a digitalized individual could replicate themselves in seconds or minutes, Bostrom said. Of course copying yourself isn’t without complications, Bostrom…[Read more]

@bruinbown If Julie was describing a magazine cover, I’m not sure if one exists for that article specifically. The cover of the issue from which the article you posted comes doesn’t mention anything about humanity or its future, so I’m still looking for the image @julierei might have seen.

@bruinbown thank you for the advice and i wish to see everyone as good and noble until otherwise shown. It is a problem and maybe something else to wish to change within.

@bruinbown Except with LOST we had thefuselage.net 🙂

That’s my assumption, @bruinbown. This all feels very much like Clint and Darren are under duress. As though rather than there being separate entities writing for the Shadow accounts, they are being forced to do it with someone over their shoulder. If you’re being held hostage and monitored but able to get communications out, you would try to h…[Read more]

@bruinbown – A name that popped up during Tension. It was implied that it was sort of the security/wet work/bruiser arm of the OSDM. When someone was sent to go see the Omega Council it meant they were getting promoted something fierce or they were getting “dealt with”.

@bruinbown didn’t Noah make the phone call from the other meeting (with Lia)?

@bruinbown – I know @bcbishop and 110% believe him. Bryan is seriously THE BEST to fuck with, he goes all in, drinks ALL the kool-aid, and it’s amazing. Honestly I’ve never seen anything like it. And I’m insanely jealous because I’ll never get out of my own head (or get my head out of my ass) enough to have that experience. 🙂

@bruinbown I’d almost buy that, but then how would you explain the phone call between the two meetings?

@bruinbown Hahaha!!!!

I’m glad to help however I can @bruinbown, also, don’t you mean Thank Anoch? 😉

I imagine most have already read this, but if not, take a look at the official Tension Timeline here: Tension Timeline

I’m sure The Creators have some new tricks up their sleeve but at least you can see what sort of participant interactions occurred during the first…[Read more]

@bruinbown There were 2 actors that rotated the role of “Sentinel”. One *only* played Sentinel (the one I refer to when I’m using the title), and the other played Sentinel and Ellis Gordon, varying on different nights.

@bruinbown To my knowledge, several people were presented with that choice, myself included. I think all of us still wonder what could have happened there. There was a point in time when I met Sentinel, who had a gun. I casually asked him, “Can I have a gun too?” He immediately stopped what he was doing, turned to me, and asked me if I had…[Read more]

@bruinbown It’s interesting that you bring that up… I guess they hope that deep down, none of us would take that step?

For me, that scene taught me something about myself that I didn’t mention earlier. I was compliant all the way through Ascension until the moment I was surrounded by the men with baseball bats – they told me to put my hood on…[Read more]

@bruinbown I assume that anything that happened in Tension/Ascension is fair game now, no spoiler tags required. Discussing it doesn’t ruin things for people, because it’s already in the past. Sharing that information should be helpful to anyone who is new for Lust. It’s probably important that newcomers have access to the experiences people…[Read more]

@bruinbown what show do you work on? Having worked in television and film, I feel the same way.

I knew I should have used Comic Sans, @bruinbown 😉

@michelle

I was worried about how I would look to the actors

THIS!

@coryphella yes that’s what it is exactly! It has lost its magic for me. Not completely but enough for me to crave deeper more intense experiences. For instance, when I was younger I LOVED magic shows but then I found out how the tricks were done and the magic was gone. Now…[Read more]

BTW, @bruinbown, I hope my last comment didn’t come across as me yelling at you. Totally not what I intended. The italics and exclamation marks were all directed at my own brain. 🙂

@bruinbown haha! You’re not rambling (and, even if you were, I think sometimes it takes a bit of rambling to finally find the heart of what we’re trying to communicate). I work behind the scenes as well, as a designer. So, for me, I don’t think it’s an on-stage/off-stage issue. I think it’s mostly that I can’t quite let go of the fact that it’s…[Read more]
