43 As I walked slowly up the hill I tried to visualize where Raza was at this
|
|||
|
44 oment. I suppose I thought the calling worked better if I could picture his
|
|||
|
45 hereabouts in my mind. There was certainly no reason to think this. I had
|
|||
|
46 no idea why it worked, it just did, or at least it used to. He was most
|
|||
|
47 likely in that stuffy old office, with it's artificial light, artificial
|
|||
|
48 air, and artificial chores to keep him busy. How could anyone stand it day
|
|||
|
49 after day? It must be that the hum is affecting everyone's mind. I sure
|
|||
|
50 can't stand to be around it, it's one of the reasons I live out here near
|
|||
|
51 the bay.
|
|||
|
52 I breathed deeply as I settled down in the shade of a tamarind tree. Some
|
|||
|
53 f the fruits were almost ripe. Mixed with coconut they made wonderful
|
|||
|
54 preserves. We always told the tourists that there were two kinds, the ones
|
|||
|
55 with tart fruit and the ones with sweet fruit. Somehow they couldn't ever
|
|||
|
56 find the sweet kind. The tart ones eaten by themselves would twist your
|
|||
|
57 mouth into a knot.
|
|||
|
58 Viewing the bay and the ocean from up here on the top of the hill always
|
|||
|
59 ave me a thrill. I could see the color of the water change from white
|
|||
|
60 hrough shades of aqua and brown to deep blue as I looked out past the reef
|
|||
|
61 toward the open ocean. I sailed my boat out there almost every day to fish
|
|||
|
62 along the coral ledges. From up here my eyes glided along like the pelicans,
|
|||
|
63 swooping down the full length of the reef and back up here to the cliff top.
|
|||
|
64 The sun had become a huge red and orange ball that peeked through the puffy
|
|||
|
65 trade wind clouds, as they marched along the horizon. The day's warmth had
|
|||
|
66 brought the frangipanni blossoms to full bloom and the air was filled with
|
|||
|
67 their fragrance. Old memories of exquisite pleasure were stirred by the
|
|||
|
68 scent. I gave a sigh of pleasure and began forming my mind for the calling.
|
|||
|
69 Would Raza be able to hear it over the vibrations of the hum? If I could get
|
|||
|
70 him to come up here to watch the sunset and look at the stars just one time
|
|||
|
71 know it would clear his mind. I began to call...
|
|||
|
72
|
|||
|
73 Guardian---Thank you so much for the encouragement. I was hoping everyone
|
|||
|
74 wasn't bored to death, and too polite to say so. Being a new story writer I
|
|||
|
75 appreciate the comments, both favorable and critical. I really enjoyed the
|
|||
|
76 poem (song?). It touched on feelings I've had from time to time.
|
|||
|
77 Leonard---Again, my thanks for steering me toward the Inn. Have you read any
|
|||
|
78 of Dr. Lilly's work with dolphins. He has a more open minded approach.
|
|||
|
79 The Jiz---The compliment is appreciated. I presume you know the episodes are
|
|||
|
80 parts of one story & that the plural was a typo. The dreaded HUM goes on!
|
|||
|
81 All---I noticed that my episodes are longer than the average so I'm going to
|
|||
|
82 trim them down some. I don't wish to take up too much space. I enjoy all
|
|||
|
83 the wonderful writing here and wish to leave plenty of room for it.

213 The trouble with bringing friends home from after work is that when they find out that you have a terminal and see you use it

|
|||
|
236 fred---Thank you very much. Aren't you the one who started the debate? I

|
|||
|
238 Synopsis of the Magen story for > |_|_|_|_ (bars of the cage):
|
|||
|
239 The story takes place on a beautiful, lush tropical island. Magen is a young
|
|||
|
240 island girl, a free-spirited child of nature. Five years ago a visionary
|
|||
|
241 experience dramatically changed the course of her life. Around that same time
|
|||
|
242 the worlds across the sea impinged on the island bringing economic development.
|
|||
|
243 Raza, Magen's long time friend and love of her life, has become a cog in the
|
|||
|
244 wheels of progress. After being sent to a mainland school he has been made
|
|||
|
245 supervisor of the new island power plant. Dixie, daughter of the wealthy
|
|||
|
246 investment baron (also financier of the island development), has just arrived
|
|||
|
247 for an island vacation. She is running her own number on Raza. ---Melissa
|
|||
|
248
|
|||
|
249 ^^^^^ My goodness, another late night computer-commuter... --->the Guardian
|
|||
|
250
|
|||
|
251 NO, there's no one else here, Guardian.
|
|||
|
252 ^^^^^ Oh, I thought that there was. Gee, this is almost like CHAT. --->S
|
|||
|
253 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
|||
|
254 Melissa -- add my voice to the approbation you are recieving. I am
|
|||
|
255 enjoying your story immensley! (Luckily I am vacationing in a different
|
|||
|
256 reality where this clash of cultures does not happen.)
|
|||
|
257 Another step to the "life" discussion. Can machinery -- metal and
|
|||
|
258 electricity -- ever be considered "life?" We have numerous cases of
|
|||
|
259 artificial aids being necessary to sustain human life. How distinct is the
|
|||
|
260 combination of human-unable-to-live-without-aid and the support machinery
|
|||
|
261 from a "normal" human? Is this combination, human and machine, each
|
|||
|
262 component dead without the other, alive and human? Most of us would agree
|
|||
|
263 that a person with a prosthetic is still human and alive, but let's
|
|||
|
264 extrapolate a bit. The trend in medical prostheses is to be able to take over
|
|||
|
265 more and more bodily functions. It is not inconceivable that eventually
|
|||
|
266 50% 60% or more of a person's body could be replaced by prosthetics. Given
|
|||
|
267 this, as much of the brain is concerned with regulation of the body, much
|
|||
|
268 of the brain's function may eventually be prostheticized into some form
|
|||
|
269 of automatic control system.
|
|||
|
270 I believe you can see where this is going. At what point, if we can
|

|

272 Indeed, ta major ethical issue is -- when does life itself cease?

276 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (restated)
|

277 Or along the path you were taking, wouldn't "where" be a question with as much intrigue concerning ethics?
|
|||
|
278 ^^^^^ CBBS - Aloha 649 - xxxx was my reference.
|

|
279 It is quite a bit like CBBS-NW, and almost identical to PCS-CBBS. Once you log in, you will be on the main board (a;0).
|
|||
|
280 But to go beyond mere appearances, the MIND of the system (o.k., sub-system) is on access level #1. At function, type "A;1"
|
|||
|
281 and you will be on the Discussion/Debate segment of the board. I think access level #2 is simular, although I haven't read
|
|||
|
282 it yet. There are a lot of bends to the topics that have been brought up. Your most recent disertations (sp) are not unlike
|
|||
|
283 those points/counterpoints tackled 'abroad'. I just thought that you might be interested...

290 ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE...
|

|
291 ------------------....................
|
|||
|
292 I GET THE BORING JOB TODAY, AS I GET OUT
|
|||
|
293 MY RADAR GUN, AS I HIDE MY POLICE CAR
|
|||
|
294 BEHIND THE BUSHES. IT SEEMS LIKE NO
|
|||
|
295 ONE IS SPEEDING TODAY, OH WAIT...67 MPH
|
|||
|
296 IT'S A BRIGHT RED MUSTANG, I START MY
|
|||
|
297 CAR, AND TURN ON MY LIGHTS AND SIREN,
|
|||
|
298 IT LOOKS LIKE I AM IN HOT PURSUIT. THE
|
|||
|
299 MUSTANG IS TRYING TO LOSE ME, I FOLLOW
|
|||
|
300 IT VERY CLOSELY. THE MUSTANG THEN
|
|||
|
301 FINALLY PULLS OVER AS HE IS SURROUNDED
|
|||
|
302 BY POLICE CARS. I TALK THROUGH MY
|
|||
|
303 MEGAPHONE, AND TOLD THE PERSON TO STEP
|
|||
|
304 OUT WITH HIS HANDS IN THE AIR. AS THE
|
|||
|
305 PERSON STEPS OUT... WAIT ITS A ROBOT.
|
|||
|
306 IT COMES STRAIGHT TOWARDS ME. I SHOOT
|
|||
|
307 IT BUT IT DOES NOTHING. THE ROBOT
|
|||
|
308 ATTACKS ME, AND THROWS ME TO THE GROUND
|
|||
|
309 KISSING ME, AND PLAYING WITH MY BIG,
|
|||
|
310 LONG AND HARD NOSE. IT FELT SO GOOD I
|
|||
|
311 COULDN'T RESIST. I COMED EVERYWHERE, AS
|
|||
|
312 SNAUGHT FLEW EVERYWHERE, AS SHE LICKED
|
|||
|
313 IT UP FASTER THEN IT WAS COMING OUT.
|
|||
|
314 I RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH HER HAIR,
|
|||
|
315 STICKING MY HAND IN HER BIG, JUICY HOLE
|
|||
|
316 ... WAIT THAT'S A WHOLE FROM THE BULLET
|
|||
|
317 AS BLOOD COVERS MY FINGER. MINUTES LATER
|
|||
|
318 THIS ROBOT DIES FROM HEMORRAGING.

324 He stepped out of his apartment holding the small case. With his free
|
|||
|
325 hand, he closed the door behind him. The door was painted a clear white.
|
|||
|
326 It contrasted with the dirty walls around it, made it seem strangely out
|
|||
|
327 of place. It creaked as it was closed. The joints needed oil.
|
|||
|
328 The stairs from the third floor to the garage were heavily worn from
|
|||
|
329 years of climbing and descending. A drunken old man curled up in the
|
|||
|
330 corner of the lobby with his bottle asked for a quarter. He was ignored.
|
|||
|
331 The tall gaunt man in the worn tweed jacket stopped before entering the
|
|||
|
332 garage. Today he would start his campaign against NET operatives and
|
|||
|
333 other subversive organizations. He was known as Malcolm.
|

334 He walked towards his car.

354 Gaius was swimming through molasses with Mount Rushmore strapped to the back of his skull. Stroke. Stroke. Stroke.
|
|||
|
355 His muscles strained against the viscous substance, he fought to work his way to the surface. Stroke, stroke, stroke,
|
|||
|
356 he thought, If I don't drown I'm gonna have a stroke, stroke, stroke. It seemed a hopless task. He tried to stretch
|
|||
|
357 for the surface, reaching his fingertips upwasr as if his salvation lay in breaking the surface tension that held
|
|||
|
358 him prisoner. As he fell short for what seemed the thousandth time, felt himself sinking back into the embrace of the
|
|||
|
359 goo, he found that his hungry lungs could stand no more. Traitors to his every desire, they expanded convulsively,
|
|||
|
360 and Gaius mentally prepared himself for a drowning death...
|
|||
|
361 Cold, stale air filled his being, stinking of grease and mildew and old rubber. It was the sweetest thing he'd ever
|
|||
|
362 smelled. He filled his lungs (so wise, those lungs) with the air once, twice, thrice...and opened his eyes. Or so
|
|||
|
363 he thought. I might just as well have left them shut, he thought, the view's the same. There was a rumbling noise,
|
|||
|
364 a feeling of movement, and something cold against his left cheek. His head hurt. His arms hurt. His hair hurt.
|
|||
|
365 Once he had catalogued his immediate sensations he was able to focus his concentration on more general aspects of
|
|||
|
366 his environment. His arms hurt, apparently, because they seemed to be tied tightly behind him. He was in a dark, cold,
|
|||
|
367 small (he thought as he tried to straighten and hit both head and feet), loudly moving place. Where? It came to him
|
|||
|
368 that he was in the trunk of a car. How had he gotten here? The last thing he remembered was being the target of a
|
|||
|
369 laser-bearing drone. So what happened next? And where was he going now? He felt that he might have missed something
|
|||
|
370 important...

383 Hello all! I have a piece from an outline
|
|||
|
384 of a "Soap-Opera" type thing that I
|
|||
|
385 wrote awhile back. As for now, it is
|
|||
|
386 just a description of the events that
|
|||
|
387 go on, but if anyone cares, I will work
|
|||
|
388 out a complete story. Nothing special,
|
|||
|
389 but here goes, just to see if anyone's
|
|||
|
390 interested:

|
395 Cindy Larson, Sue Clark, and David
|
|||
|
396 McPherson all work for Phil Jameson in
|
|||
|
397 his small-town accounting firm. At night,
|
|||
|
398 Cindy is secretly working as a prostitute.
|
|||
|
399 One evening, Phil, out looking for a
|
|||
|
400 lady, finds Cindy working and buys her
|
|||
|
401 services. The next day she is fired from
|
|||
|
402 her job. Cindy thinks that Sue knew about
|
|||
|
403 her evening job, and encouraged Phil
|
|||
|
404 to fire her. Cindy tried to file a lawsuit,
|
|||
|
405 but her case wasn't strong enough.
|
|||
|
406 David, who has secretly been in love
|
|||
|
407 with Cindy, tells her, and they have

408 an affair.

442 hello,I am Sarah or the Lady S. Yes,I really do exist.
|
|||
|
443 About human v.s. animal intelligence/life: life and intelligence are not the
|
|||
|
444 same thing and emotions are different too. Amoebas are alive and can exhibit
|
|||
|
445 behavior which seem like emotions, but they are not intellegent.Humans (us, the
|
|||
|
446 good guys) are alive,intelligent, and emotional. However, the argument seems
|
|||
|
447 to be about the spectrum between the two. Life is proved by the presence of
|
|||
|
448 DNA ,intelligence and emotions nobody knows about (if they do, they aren't
|
|||
|
449 telling ). I believe that we are more intelligent than any other species
|
|||
|
450 present or future; we won't let anyone else get as sma't as us. I don't know
|
|||
|
451 about other planets, the alleged spores on Mars are not comptition.
|
|||
|
452 I also believe ( bigot that I am ) that our emotions are more intricate
|
|||
|
453 than anyone else's. We have a habit of giving things we love our emotions.
|
|||
|
454 Murder, well how to say this without getting enemies, I only believe it is
|
|||
|
455 murder when the victim is aware of thier life , and only immoral when without
|
|||
|
456 good ( MY definition of "good" ,of course ) purpose.i.e. killing an unborn baby
|
|||
|
457 to save the mother from phisical, intellectual, and/or emotional destruction.
|
|||
|
458
|
|||
|
459 Ok,NET decifer this: a2l 'y m 2ds)(m : No, I did not get that from someone
|
|||
|
460 else; it's all my own. I'd show you another code , but it takes too much space
|
|||
|
461 (she say's after having writen a 1,000,000,000,000 word entry ).
|
|||
|
462 That mesage isn't long enough. But in respect for time and space I shall depart
|
|||
|
463 Tomarrow (if I can get on ) I'll leave a longer and fairer phrase.

470 I'll bloody scream. Simple, almost too simple. Just wait 'till the end of this week when I can work on it again.
|

471 This week, of course, is the Dreaded Semester Finals Week, and I have about 4 essays to write by Thursday.
|
|||
|
472 I'm not going to bother writing down the last two Level 4 messages, they won't do me any good until I can finish
|

473 cracking the first 3 that I have...

474 My time constraints being as they are, and since I do have to go to school for 3 more final exams tomorrow, I'll

478 L'homme: How about sometime early Feburary? Can you think of a convienient date near then? Do not worry if it is
|

|
479 a school day or not, I can get out if need be... Thanks again.
|
|||
|
480 As for the disk, you're welcome. Just don't let Chuck see the "title screen" of Graphics Basic. He'd have a fit,
|
|||
|
481 if I read him right. Just sort of skip over that part, and show him the dissembled code. I know there's the LINE,
|
|||
|
482 DOT, TEXT, HIRES, and DIR commands in it... and more, but of course, the documentation seems to have disappeared.

|

|
484 Life is the interaction between intelligent beings and other intelligent beings. 'Intelligence' is the relative
|
|||
|
485 term here, not 'Life'. Find out what is 'Intelligent', and you'll know what 'Life' is. Of course, we all can
|
|||
|
486 recognise intelligence when we see it, but can you define it? What makes up intelligence? Something that exhibits
|
|||
|
487 intelligence to a high degree can be called 'alive'.
|
|||
|
488 Now that I've created a lot of enemies who will say I'm full of bat guano, I'll finish the job:
|
|||
|
489 Is Backwater intelligent? Not the system, the messages and the interaction between users. Is it then alive in a
|
|||
|
490 special sense?

|

|
494 Milchar: Mere interaction alone is not sufficient for BWMS to be declared alive since all things interact
|
|||
|
495 with their enviroment...all things decay and as they decay, they
|
|||
|
496 release sub-atomic particles which change other particles. I often use this as a reason why my
|
|||
|
497 programs don't act like they should: "cosmic rays must have ruined
|
|||
|
498 the algorithm, Professor, since I always write perfect prorams..."
|
|||
|
499 (prorams...programs) How about intelligence defined as the ability
|
|||
|
500 to respond properly to affection? An animal that allows you to
|
|||
|
501 pet it would therefore be intelligent, while something that growls at you is not...of course,
|
|||
|
502 this may be a mere reflection of the "Prime Directive" of humanity
|
|||
|
503 --survival. An interesting(to me) side effect if my definition is
|
|||
|
504 accepted: What does this say about people who involve themselves
|
|||
|
505 in disastrous love-affairs? Men and women who continue in a rel-
|

|
506 ationship that harms that physically and/or mentally...

515 Jack and Tony were both working on their Lone Stars when the girls
|
|||
|
516 showed up. Heads turned as the finely dressed woman strolled thru the
|
|||
|
517 bar. Marci caught sight of Jack and motioned to Tina. They first stopped
|
|||
|
518 and the counter and ordered cognac.
|
|||
|
519 Marci and Tina were executives at two competative firms. Marci worked
|
|||
|
520 for Peter Pan and Tina worked for Jiff.
|
|||
|
521 Tina and Tony were at one time dating regularly and had remained close
|
|||
|
522 friends. Thru Tina, Tony learned of problems devoloping at Jiff and had set
|
|||
|
523 Jack to work hacking.
|
|||
|
524 Marci and Tina were roomates in collage and had always been in contact.
|
|||
|
525 They thought it ironic at first that they both had the same job handling
|
|||
|
526 stocks and different companies. But, now they had different idea's on how
|
|||
|
527 to use their knowledge.

|
538 Sarah (or would you prefer Lady S?) -- My humble apologies, but somehow
|
|||
|
539 two of my concerns are entwined in previous communications. One is the question
|
|||
|
540 of "just what in the world is 'life' anywhy?" and the other is "just what is
|
|||
|
541 this concept we know as 'intellegence', 'sentience', 'self-awareness',
|
|||
|
542 'conciousness', or perhaps in a non-religious way, 'soul?'". I am coming
|
|||
|
543 to the point where I believe that non-DNA based life is possible. In fact,
|
|||
|
544 I feel that in some cases, such diverse things as nations, businesses,
|
|||
|
545 social organizations, computer programs, and thoughts all either are alive or
|
|||
|
546 move perilously close to that razor's edge which divides the two.
|
|||
|
547 On the other subject -- I firmly believe that animals are conscious and
|
|||
|
548 self-aware (and vastly more intellegent that most people give them credit
|
|||
|
549 for). I have been raising animals for food for quite a while -- in part
|
|||
|
550 because I have felt the ethical necessity for accepting the fact that I have
|
|||
|
551 not chosen a vegatarian diet. When I sit down to the table to eat a steak,
|
|||
|
552 I know WHO I am eating. This adds a dimension to that meal that is hard to
|
|||
|
553 explain -- I can't rationalize away my personal responsibility for the death
|
|||
|
554 of that animal. Either I personally dispatched it, or caused it to be done
|
|||
|
555 for my benifit (my preference, as less of the carcass is wasted -- much of
|
|||
|
556 the non-edible internal organs are processed for hormone content and end up
|
|||
|
557 in cosmetic preparations). I have been literally bloody to the elbows
|
|||
|
558 carving the corpse into meal-sized portions. In addition, I know the life of
|
|||
|
559 that animal -- and insofar as I can, I ensure that it is as happy as possible
|
|||
|
560 while it still lives, and that its death is quick and painless. A bite may
|
|||
|
561 carry with it the memory of the first time that the calf tried to eat an
|
|||
|
562 apple -- warm sunny summers in the meadows -- or the irritation and disgust
|
|||
|
563 the creature caused when it tore down a length of fence.
|
|||
|
564 However, I digress. I know that animals each have a unique personality.
|
|||
|
565 And, as I stated before, I feel that they are self-aware and much more
|
|||
|
566 intellegent than we realize.
|
|||
|
567 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
|||
|
568 Why must we define intelligence anyway? It seems as if everyone is fuzzy on
|
|||
|
569 the concept, that they make their own definitions.
|
|||
|
570 Regardless of whether they're true or not, it seems this is futile with every
|
|||
|
571 person making up his/her own definition of life.
|
|||
|
572 Well, perhaps I am only debating this opinion since I must attend school in a
|
|||
|
573 bit, but how about life being defined as having the power to imagine?

577 Great! I make the big leap into the NET story line, and no one notices.
|
|||
|
578 Have I missed the mark, or are new-comers not allowed to start into the
|
|||
|
579 action? Everyone claims that stories are so highly regarded on this system.
|
|||
|
580 It is my personal experiance that one has to be a horrible writer or a
|
|||
|
581 social misfit ( such as Frank ( I've been lurking that long! )) to be
|
|||
|
582 noticed by the population of BWMS.
|
|||
|
583 Well, is it possible that someone of authority could tell me if I'm
|
|||
|
584 wasting my time trying to get in the story. If so, I guess I'll debate or
|
|||
|
585 go back into lurking mode. Sigh...

593 Well, I expected some unfavourable "reviews" on my "Soap-Opera", but not
|
|||
|
594 to be totally ignored! Is it really that
|

|
595 bad? If I don't get any responses then
|

596 I'll just take that as a "drop it" vote
