I’m reading this at 5am after I woke up at 4 for seemingly no reason.

No current problems detected which meet stress threshold. Accessing archives…

Maybe being sentient is about saying no all the time: You are a sack of water made out of carbon and it always wants to simply fall but you have keep saying “no, we stand”, “no, we tilt slightly forward” (walk) etc.

At night, when there’s nothing to do and you’ve already lost your battle against gravity (a comfy bed), maybe the helpful naysayer starts generating bullshit?

My ADHD brain does this. It runs wild, the moment I’m awake.
