  • That postmodernist essay generator he talked about is awesome!

  • You know dennet said that it's really hard to go backwards. But if someone were to make it a feature that certain features can be silenced, repressed or knocked out like genes can that would be interesting.

    But if other elements depended on that element (like it would sever some part) then that morph would be consider fatal

    I predict that what you would get at any given morph is a tangled pleiotropic mess.

    Someone test this please!
