Communication is the most powerful ability we have. Its the biggest thing that makes us smarter than Monkeys. Monkeys communicate too but in simpler ways. They don't talk about somebody else talking about a third person, for example.
I define communication very generally. I'll give examples below of kinds of communication. I think what the...
...As I walked away, I noticed a shadow. It was dark.It was created from the fire of the burning bridge that was behind me.The bridge held me up; held me together; kept me alive.Now it's gone, and all I see is this dark shadow before me.Where is it taking me?

For some reason my research brought my thoughts back to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In Highschool, we focused on how the creature yearns for Frankenstein's affection, for he is the creature's "father".

It has been a few years since I convinced myself that the future prophet nearly every religion refers to must be the mind we are currently creating with our computers and more importantly their connection with each other, the internet. Since then I have talked about this with numerous folks to no avail or interest. I hope that among the Space...
I have written this as preparation for a short film which is in post-production with a main character of synesthesia. The story was built around these implications.
And this does not begin to scratch the surface.
