Wrong. I can feel my abilities slipping, and it's a proven fact that living in
total
isolation from society will cause what i feel: slower wit, less memory, and
apathy about everything. I go 3 weeks routinely without laying eyes on
another human, much less speaking to a human in real life, unless i goto a
store to buy something. So yes, i feel like i am past my peak, even tho it
was a much lower peak than i should have been reaching. Creating a
sentient Ai tells me the machine is valued over me.
I just got a price for *me* to get dsl. It will be installed 60 miles from me,
cost $80/month (plus installation), in a section south of Birmingham noted for
high crime and drug abuse rates. There will be no security for the installation,
and it's a 2hour commute to drive there. Either that, or i learn Perl to get the
nix shell in Netherlands operational.
