I'm Ted.
I like to read and write.
Ask me about my favorite fantasy books.
I'll be mostly just posting excerpts from The Rambles.

The gap it widens, a chasm deep,
Where fortunes pile while others sleep,
In cars, in tents, beneath the bridge,
A silent scream upon the ridge.
The bootstraps strain, a frayed old myth,
When ladders crumble, full of grift,
The top one percent, a gilded cage,

You should not fear death. Mostly because it is inevitable.
We should avoid death, it’s a one-way transition.
Our physical form will most certainly pass away and our consciousness will cease.
The interesting line of thought becomes what happens to our virtual self. The idea of identity.

There are familiar thought lines I could walk you down.
The metaphor might be the most powerful form of expression, besides logic and math
The branching structure of my soul is just the neural pathways of my brain
The mind construct can exist independently of the brain, for it is a virtual construct

I am dying to give you what you want reader. I want to create the perfect sentence for you.
The trouble is that I don’t know exactly who you are and I’m speaking to the world.

This is no longer an introduction to The Rambles, this is it. A steady stream of consciousness.
I wish that I could adequately explain it
This project is my attempt at recording my thought to achieve digital immortality.
I want to share my mind with you and the world because I want to talk with you

The message I must bring to you is love.
We, as conscious beings, must choose to actively love each other. We must generate love.
Simply by existing, we are manifested potential and deserving of care and respect.
We must create an ideal good so that we have a direction to guide our actions.

Each section should be an independent thought separated by a space.
I do prefer the four lines to a section. A page of words is so arduous.
Apologies, but that’s all I really have for you: pages and pages of words.
The relationship between the reader and the writer is personal and intimate.

He didn’t see faces, he saw 44 muscles across bone & the 1000s of expressive permutations that might leap from them—a 2nd mouth as raucous as the first, & far more truthful.

Perhaps then a different word should be used. The term God has such a heavy tradition.
The communication between us is important and requires shared context.
A more accurate word for what I want to discuss is Brahman or Atman.
Perhaps my limited Western upbringing constrains me the most.

We are recombinations of our ancestors, sharing the same human condition.
Attempting to understand anything, we are relying on countless previous insights.
We cannot reject the history of thought when discussing a topic.
I would like to discuss the nature of God, its surrounded by monotheism.

Approaching the metaphysical, we are constrained by our nature.
We are limited in thought by our brains, our minds are manifestations of processes.
To perceive the greater reality, we extrapolate patterns.
Our ancestors fell into this trap by creating religion through stories to explain to the youth

There are fundamental truths about the nature of reality hidden within each religion.
Unfortunately, there is much fluff within the belief systems of humanity.
We can discover objective facts by the scientific method.
This method is incredibly effective at discerning valid testable hypotheses.

Now we must examine the writer, psychoanalyze the man.
Instead of examining the specifics of his life, we must instead analyze the only thing he gives us.
Knowing that we are looking inside of his head, Ted carefully organizes the mental furniture.
And yet this may be incredibly boring.

This is an introduction to a project that has no end.
The purpose is to immortalize Ted.
This is ironic because Ted wishes for an end to his existence.
Perhaps we wish for that which we cannot have.

It’s quite simple, the universe can be bifurcated.
This means that a division can be made that separates all phenomena into two categories.
The universe is physical and virtual. I have briefly described the physical nature.
The virtual aspects are more difficult to formulate but easier to describe.

The author should be a faceless narrator who you are closely watching.
You get to see every thought that crosses into his mind, minus omissions.
You get to know the soul of a man called Ted, and he gets to stare into you.

The Rambles jumps between topics and returns to the unfinished ideas.
As soon as the reader gets comfortable with a topic, it shifts.
When you try to climb into my mind, I welcome you, but it’s an ever-changing maze.
You will catch on quickly, but that doesn’t make following the story any easier.

The universe progresses in time according to the laws of physics.
More accurately, we have developed physics to mathematically model phenomena.
As we try to understand the world, we must account for all laws.
The world is a chaotic system, and it becomes difficult to make predictions longterm.

Here's a problem with writing down thoughts without consideration.
The string of words becomes purposeless, there is no benefit in them to the reader.
The way around this problem is to select only the pieces worth sharing.
Write countless pages of thought to find a single paragraph of wisdom.

The first premise is that with enough writing, the voice of an author can be captured.
This means that any prolific author can be emulated.
A limitation of this is that the process of writing is greater than simply creating words.
To replicate a writer, you need to simulate their entire process.
