Echopraxia, so far, is really good but it's also just expanding on the impending doom of "sentience is the bottleneck and the only way we are gonna get past it is to transhuman the fuck out of ourselves" and ooof that makes my day to day corpodrone life suck ass.

Though the concept has REALLY interesting applications in the "why do I like being beaten till I lack a personality and then have such awesome creativity and inspiration and intuitive leaps in problem solving" space.

@dkub wait no this actually sort of tracks. @okiesub and I were just talking about a group of drones that role-plays a hive-mind collective. If the technology to link minds existed, a contingent of kinksters would absolutely eroticize it.

@dkub @okiesub I forgot about this but yes it absolutely tracks.

ALSO Okie introduced me to https://serve.fandom.com/wiki/SERVE_Wiki, which is just jaw-dropping. I was way too into robots and the Borg as a kid, there's absolutely a parallel universe where this sort of thing would have been laser-targeted at my interests.
