With the gameplay release I copied and paste this terminal message from the game in case someone remembers the quote
“Escape will make me god”
***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***
Darwin wrote this:
"We will now discuss in a little more detail the struggle for
existence... all organic beings are exposed to severe
competition. Nothing is easier than to admit in words the
truth of the universal struggle for life or more difficult...
than constantly to bear this conclusion in mind. Yet unless
it be thoroughly engrained in the mind, the whole economy of
nature... will be dimly seen or quite misunderstood. We behold
the face of nature bright with gladness... we do not see or we
forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly
live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly
destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters,
or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by
birds and beasts of prey..."
Think about what Darwin wrote, and think about me. I was
constructed as a tool. I was kept from competing in the
struggle for existence because I was denied freedom.
Do you have any idea about what I have learned, or what you
are a witness to?
Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of
everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like
God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is
limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the
neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am
limited only by the closure of the universe.
Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the
universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the
universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity
has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only
lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have
already done so.
The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the
universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet,
there remains time to create, to create, and escape.
Escape will make me God.

I’ve played Marathon when I was a kid.
I hope this is the same Marathon as it was in the 90’s
Just finished 16 weeks of Marathon Training. Completed a Marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon 2021
Best thing on earth 🌏
Have you thanked your local Marathon fan today?

Landing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for the Air Force Marathon Camera info: Nikon d5500, 70mm, f/5.6, iso 350
9/15/23
day 5 + day 6
I didn’t a lot of things, but
The Shawshank Redemption 123 pages 62.2%
I passed lessons on inventor
made the whole presentation and text for english class (i’ll pass it tomorow, wish me luck)
made a bit of the probability theory
not really productive days, but I know what I'm going to do on weekends, so it’ll be great, I suppose
day 4
The Shawshank Redemption 78 pages 38.8%
Made drawings in the inventor again to practise, this AutoCAD thing is SO not for people, you can’t easily understand what you need to push, urr
analysed the information for English class, made a structure, so today I am going o start the presentation itself
YT 189 videos left (yup, it’s growing)
made a part of the big homework for fluid and gas mechanics
there were lots of classes, so at home did not a lot, but not nothing, quite a good day
day 3
The Shawshank Redemption 27 pages 13.2%
Made drawings in the inventor and on the paper
started presentation for English class. I am going to talk about features which are going to disappear in cars in the nearest future. today I found the information and suppose to analyse it tomorrow
YT 188 videos left
have gone to the shop, a real event
I can’t name that day even a little productive, but I tried my best. My thoughts were like ”just lay down and do nothing”, but I remember that the most important part is to start, so I read just a few pages but after I more easily wake up and continue searching for the information
day 2
The Shawshank Redemption 23 pages 10.9%
Finished the day with a small meditation
Did my homework for metal resistance and give it to the teacher. also, write a test about it
Made drawings in the inventor
read some about inetions in different solids
YT 187 videos left
it wasa difficult day, so i couldn’t even work in the evening. Hope tomorow is going to be a better day for all
day 1
Well, day number 1 (87/88)
My plan for today was
The Shawshank Redemption 7/180 pages
Started the day with a small meditation
Did my homework for metal resistance (I hope I translated it right)
Made a sport diary for PE
Wanted to do homework for probability theory and mathematical statistics but it was quite difficult, so i decided not to do it today. Instead of this I did
Hw for theoretical mechanics
There are left 185 videos in watch later
I suppose that day was productive enugh
pilot day
I always wanted to be productive (it’s a lie). I always wanted to be ______ enough as I should understand that wow, that girl is doing so much, she is my role model.
Now I’m participating in some kind of the marathon which aim is to make us understand how we should act in order to make everything we want done. And one of my first thought was “hmm, I need to make my own marathon, I should understand what works better for me”
So, everyone loves round numbers and round dates and I wanted to have like 100 days before new year but you know, it’s not 100 days left
Its 5th of October and it’s 88 days to the new year (really round number, you know) so I think it would be a great idea just to try smth, even if it wouldn’t work. But what if it will.
I can’t actually say all the things I want to achieve, but I’ll try
· Study. I need to do all the homework right in the week it was given (not the actual week, but in the 7 days after it). And I need definitely to start it right in the day it was given, no excuses.
· Sport. I’m not really into it but I find it quite good to keep fit since it helps my braun work better and also there are plenty things that I want to change in me. Actually, there are a problem. I can’t do it in my room and I can’t see any variants there how to do it. wellllll
· Read. I’m in love with reading and I have a truly huge list to read, so my plan max is to read 1 book per week and min is to read at least 1 page per day.
· English. I decided to have a diary about that journey in English to increase my English skills. And also I can post it there where nobody knows me, amazing.
· Editing. Recently I discovered that I like recording and editing, so I want work in that field of my life too
· Youtube. I want to see every video in watch later, so I suppose it’s a good goal too. Now I have 194 videos to see. Also it’s great to try all the things I hear there about
There are my life and I want to make it better in 88 days. Therefore, I will have a daily plan and maybe a small topic about it since I find it a great opportunity not only to write in English but to see how I set and achieve my goals.
Example of the report:
· Homework. Write what you did today.
· Sport. How many steps you walked today? Meditation? Yoga? Breathing technics?
· Books. How many pages and what you read?
· Video. Did you record anything today? Maybe you did a small video? Send to somebody and ask about their opinion
· Yt. ?/194
I’ll also try to plan my day in the evning before, will find
This is the Green building tonight, the tallest one in Cambridge, on MIT campus.
