The Things: Being More Than You Are (By Peter Watts)
This short story is an homage to John Carpenter's masterpiece, "The Thing", (Which is one of the greatest films of all time).
Dr. Watts explains in vivid detail a different way of being, (How's that for your Dasein Senor Heidegger?). I'm pretty sure it's absolutely vital we figure out better ways of being, (Both for hoomies and our robot friendos). And YES the video on that is COMING. Filmed it, realized it was utter sh!te, annnnnd bit stuck atm... It'll happen. Enjoy this and the conversations I'm sharing. Or go outside and pet a fluffy thing.
Story is available for free online, (As are some other of Peter's works. NOICE)
Just realized there is already a very well read audio version of the story literally on the site I was reading from... How am I so brilliant? We must grow our minds to even begin to encapsulate the enormity, (Meta). And yes there are others on Utoob. WELL. Hm... Here it is anyhow.
