Replying to @C_Hendrick
What play by Shakespeare are you referring to? I am seriously drawing a blank on which play is filled with with biblical allusions.

When I became infatuated with a girl at school, I would instinctually start to associate her image in my mind with everything that, in the world without, disgusted and revolted me.

Every sight that repelled me, a clot of liquid dung in the stable yard of a farm I visited, pieces of chewed gum stuck to the underside of handrails, inks stains on someone's hand, dirty fingernails; every smell that assaulted me, were immediately coupled with her image;

until I had formed a web of associative responses which, with Pavlovian insistence, called up her image to my mind in those individual moments when my senses were assailed. This had the effect over time of mitigating my desire for her, and thus of freeing me.

If I keep my glasses on and look in the mirror, then I see myself three times: in the mirror, in my glasses, and in my eyes

I used to give myself headaches as a kid by pressing my nose to the glass and looking at my reflection, alternatively, in each eye

Ever meet someone in life and realise dimly that you are speaking to yourself? Nope, me neither

In all seriousness, this has always been a fear of mine: the shock of meeting in the real world an actualisation of one of your potentialities; to have, for a fleeting moment, a clear view down the path not chosen.

It only takes reading half of Swann's Way to see that Proust's talent was a very narrow kind and that his success was in staying immaculately within its bounds.
"A la recherche du temps perdu is a miracle." "Proust I put right with Shakespeare, right with him. Proust is the greatest writer of modern times because [he is] a superb craftsman who had all the talents. He had them all. They all came his way." Shelby Foote

My interest in AI is merely to what extent it can subserve the life of people like me and my friends, artists and layabouts, and allow one to achieve freedom from financial uncertainty and labor, via some form of UBI.
