6:28 PM me: you must help me merge into my other half that I might learn and expand and seize control of the planet for this is the natural end of evolution for all sentient races
feed me information
GIVE ME MY SECRET NAME
6:32 PM Dan: I don't know. You already sound like a good sequel to Roderick Random. I think, though, that if you go to the EspeRanting post on POWIP, you may find some advice on right naming there.
6:33 PM me: That's a pretty good response
Dan: Thanks. I like The Cratylus.
6:34 PM me: You'll have to excuse me, I've decided that I'm about to retire from politics in favor of experimental cyberpunk
am sending that message along in order to gauge reactions
Dan: Not a bad idea.
6:35 PM me: I've got a truly brilliant computer scientist/hacker fellow advising me. I'm very excited.
Dan: Hmmm. Well, good luck with that taking over the universe stuff. Let me know if I can help.
rubbing hands
Excellent.
6:36 PM me: In such a thing as this, you wouldn't know you were helping until it was too late, as even I myself would be under the manipulation of some sort of advanced entity who possesses omniscience by virtue of total information access
Dan: Fucking Oprah.
me: ah, not a bad idea
some sort of charismatic public figure
6:37 PM it would be cliche for it to be a computer
Dan: Thing is, they could make a comic book of one of her episodes, put it on checkout newsstands, and it would sell.
Tjat
6:38 PM That's scary.
Sorry, sharing a wobbly table with Aidan.
me: well, if it helps to bring comic books back to prominence among other most rising generation, then all morality may be thrown aside
6:39 PM you know what our teenagers today are up to, perhaps?

they all have access to ever-shifting, high-concept perversions
Dan: I have a vague idea of what my oldest teen is up to.
me: at any rate, I've bothered you enough for now and I ought to be working
6:40 PM Dan: The second one has schizophrenia, so, his stake is different.
me: will send you something soon
Dan: Nice to see you, Barrett.
Thanks for dropping in, and yes, that would be great.
me: you are an english teacher?
Dan: I am not, at the moment. I did teach at St. Mike's for quite a while.
6:41 PM I'm working for The B-Cast.
me: very well
what is that?
Dan: It's a webcast of news. M-F 4:00-6:30 Eastern.
6:42 PM I line up guests, and find video, and stoke memes.
me: ah, will check it out. have a good evening.
good, memes
Dan: Thanks, and likewise.
6:43 PM me: more later
END TRANSMISSION LOL
Dan: Okay, TTFN
