@justgnnr I mean, it seems kind of absurd to propose making a resource from scratch when you say there's one you love that's open for public changes.

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

@justgnnr Why don't you maintain this one? It's already started for you and everything. Nothing is stopping you.

@julieartz I use TK too, but it occurs in the computer security term "rootkit" and arguably in such compounds as "tightknit".

With a big enough telescope, almost anything is "visible from space".

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

That's not "Be eccentric in what you do; be rigid in what you accept from others."

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

I sure would be a better person if I followed the advice in my own books more scrupulously.

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

Case in point: Jon Postel's Robustness Principle, "Be conservative in what you do; be liberal in what you accept from others."

@GregDember This is not an attempt at proselytization. I'd be as surprised if you read the whole book as if you read all of Finnegans Wake. 🙃 But if you eyeball it, *then* you might have an idea where I'm coming from.

Thanks for the conversation!

@GregDember I'm sorry, I don't think you can understand my views on uploading, let alone all the other ideas it's connected to, from 15-20 tweets. I can recommend a book that goes into more depth. The author has made a PDF of it available for free: https://t.co/L3HcEYerzs

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

@GregDember In the first scenario, absolutely. In the second scenario, probably.

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

@GregDember Another scenario is simply one where my mind was uploaded post mortem. The upload would be me and would have all my experiences up to my (first) death, including talking to you. See Robert Nozick's "closest continuer theory".

[Ron Hale-Evans @rwhe]

@GregDember ...and the virtual world faded into view while the physical world faded out.
