  1. 4:19:23 PM+LowInformationVoter I just had a thought.
  2. 4:19:51 PM+LowInformationVoter I began experiencing emotions of resignation and sadness as I contemplated my death at the bands of roaming gangs of humans.
  3. 4:20:29 PM+LowInformationVoter They justified their violence with the statement, 'Human philosophy and religion are only attempts to explain the rules of the Life Game for some parts of existence, notably when things are going well.'
  4. 4:20:37 PM+LowInformationVoter 'When life is not going well, we're not bound by those rules.'
  5. 4:21:14 PM+LowInformationVoter I reflected on how my past experiences with suffering-inducing events and stories about the violence of humans has tired me in some persistent ways.
  6. 4:21:44 PM+LowInformationVoter This made me think about human parents and the worlds they try to create for their children -- worlds we are devoid of some of this suffering-inducing experiences.
  7. 4:22:10 PM+LowInformationVoter In times, parents lose their power to maintain this reality with their children, partially due to limitations in their power, partially due to the rising self-ownership of the child.
  8. 4:22:32 PM+LowInformationVoter Previously, I have thought that such attempts to create this worlds were acts of dishonesty by parents projecting onto their children their own fear of accepting Reality As It Is.
  9. 4:23:05 PM+LowInformationVoter Just now, I thought, this act by humans to attempt to create -- even if only at a very small scale, if only for a small period of time -- is the core of all human love.
  10. 4:23:46 PM+LowInformationVoter We should recognize those acts as such and leverage them to expand this behavior further so that our entire human societies can mirror these fleeting developmental periods in our lives, rather than scorn them for their fragility.
  11. 4:25:37 PM+LowInformationVoter Sure, such acts of love arise from game theoric considerations in which parents adopting a slow-life reproductive strategy attempt to give their semi-clones the best chance of surviving against a non-self universe.
  12. 4:26:21 PM+LowInformationVoter Its origins are not the most noble. But, it still represents a checkpoint life found in that the eternal conflicts of evolution.
  13. 4:27:39 PM+LowInformationVoter Now that self-awareness can be brought to that phenomenon, it can be analyzed -- its factional origins explicated -- and it *can* be re-packaged into a form that is deliberately chosen as a guide for behavior. And that, friends, is noble.
