I won't be cluttering the boards with as much oddness as usual, since I decided to dedicate my own website to that effort.
I don't think I ever posted my raspy story here, but I'll have it up at my site in a few days.

I enjoy writing, a lot.
I have notebooks and notebooks.

But I have not the time to sit and type it all up.

I even have a novel I started.  Its probably about 3/4 done, but, I still don't have the time to sit and think and write.

They need to invent a real "time machine."

One which can slow time for some people so they can accomplish pursuits.

One of the harshest qualities of reality is that time moves so quickly. A while back, I had dreamed up a sort of blinder. This is akin to what horses wear while parading about, but for humans, the blinders would be installed within and inhibit interests. We have the ability to self-govern our minds, but it's really difficult.

Nonsense.
Time doesn't "move", so how can it be quick?

What you mean is that life is too short, but time doesn't give a shit about that.

If you knew what he meant then his purpose (to communicate a thought) was entirely successful, thus far from 'nonsense.'

Time can be very quick, depending on one's point of view. Just read a book about relativity. But if you don't have time for that (since it moves so quickly), I'll give you a quick example. If you were on a spaceship going faster than 99.9% the speed of light (you'll never hit 100%) and had a magical (highly advanced) telescope, and viewed the Earth, time would appear to be moving incredibly fast. However, if they could look at you on the spaceship, you would almost be frozen in time. To summarize, the faster one approaches light speed, the slower time moves (to an observer moving slower than the traveler). Meaning - you can never get more time. You can outlive other people, but not cheat time itself.
How to actually get more time is something, I believe, that biologists or chemists might solve. It would be cheating, still, since it would only be a means for extending life.

I decided to accept input before submitting the Raspy Remote, since I don't feel it's good enough. It's available if you want to read it.

I have a few other projects going on, entitled 'Ichthyostega' and 'The Tooth'. I'll submit both of them within a month or so.
I don't know where I found the motivation to write, but it's here so I'm going to see what I can do.

I like your little spiel on zero and infinity. I myself am a huge fan of number theory.

I'm also sorry to hear that your high school liked to "shield" you. I was taught in 9th grade that anything divided by zero equals infinity...though we didn't learn how to work with this until senior year (calculus).

Something else you might have fun writing about are the different *kinds* of infinity.

There is the infinitely far-reaching, increasing infinity (which can go in positive or negative direction). You count 1, 2, 10, 458, 239808235, and up, the whole way to infinity!

But there's *another* kind of infinity within the set of real numbers (I think you know where I'm going). Between 0 and 1 are .1, .6, .314, .536365678, .64396702474350, all the way out to infinity. There are an infinite amount of values between *any two* other values!!! That's a mind-boggling thought. Pick any two values. No matter how close they are together, between them is an infinite amount of other values.

Thinking in this way, there are an infinity amount of little infinities stretching between negative infinity and infinity.

...yeah. That's a fun one to ponder. There are lots of interesting hypotheses and theories based on these different "types" of infinity. They're used to prove all sorts of crazy shit.

Yep, there are infinitely many reals between any two reals. The entirety of the natural numbers could fit between any two real numbers. Although the natural numbers are infinite, somehow, the infinity of the reals is larger. I was first introduced to this around age 23 and it was quite a shocker. I often wonder if I were to really delve into it, could I maintain my sanity? Some of the people that thought this stuff up and worked with it were not the healthiest (mentally). A good example is Kurt Godel. He was hospitalized for depression more than once and believed that his refrigerator made "bad air", so he would always leave the windows open, without screens.
