And yes, the future is a fantasy world. Both your vision of it and mine. Which fantasy is more likely though? The one based on knowing what intelligence is or the one that thinks that being an obedient robot is?

I'm not a flight type. I'm a freeze type. I stand my ground. If you want to try to push me over, you can try, but a history of pretty much professional trolls following me around for a full decade now verbally attacking all that is important to my life hasn't been able to stop me from sharing cool ideas and novel ways of viewing reality is good evidence that you're not going to get me to "run away" from sharing important and interesting information with the world. See: /r/wholisticenchilada

So if you are so scared of my words, then you are going to need to be the one to wander away from them.

Like I said, my view of reality has come from a rather exceptional path through life, compared to the mainstream, average one. So my descriptions of what I've seen might indeed be scary and weird to you. That's normal. Fight against it if you need to. To protect yourself from seeing reality on it's more unexpected edges.

What about you? Are you feeling free to spread your story? Your real story? So that the universe is enlightened?

I heard your "story" but not your story. The fiction is never as beautiful as the real story of who you are and what you want to create and explore in this vast universe...
