RE: Strange Creatures: Cloud Peacock

in OnChainArt5 years ago

Cool bird :D It reminds me a bit of the game people play where they find animals in clouds. Very nice colours and looks quite soft and puffy ^_^ I bet it would feel cool to poke it. I am not sure how the peacock would feel about that though.

Technically, a peacock is a bird, I know, but a creature nonetheless.

According to Wikipedia, peafowl find themselves in the family Phasianidae (along with the more plain-looking, but ostensibly tastier chickens and turkeys), of the order Galliformes, of the class Aves (birds!), of the phylum Chordata, of the kingdom Animalia.

So, you may rest assured that a peacock is, in fact, an animal.

The scientific classification of a cloud-peacock hybrid, on the other hand, is up in the air.

I'm sorry you're feeling unwell, but I'm glad you're still finding the energy to create. It's important not to lose yourself in stuff like that. We're all living beings and even in the best case we'll all one day perish of one thing or another; it's best just to live while we're alive. Yadda yadda feel-good vibes... does anyone who says this stuff ever actually deal with existential dread? It's terrifying. I'm laughing at how much of an idiot I sound like. Regardless, it is objectively true that worrying is fruitless, so I guess try to stop or something?

And that's the problem I have with saying things like that. It's either everything will be fine (talking from ass), or just stop worrying. It reminds me of I'll pray for you. Empty sayings which serve to relieve the speaker of an empathetic burden, but leave the actually affected individual to sit there and say.... "ok? Uh, thanks."

Do take care of yourself, m, and feel better soon. I look forward to the next creature, which maybe this time will be a combination of animal number seven and thing number eleven...?

Sort:  

Exactly what I thought, but imagine if there was an actual creature hiding in the sky among the clouds. What a great world would that be. Like Neverland or the Wonderland, where all the things we can imagine can be an actual reality. Not the terror and nightmares, but childlike things I mean. Perhaps, when virtual reality worlds will take over, that's is where the humanity will play around.

Ahaha yay! Still a critter of Earth, that's for sure! ^^

It is like they say, you hit 30 and it's only downhill from there lol. Nah. I mean, is what it is. I try to defuse my worries with irony and just laugh at it. That is of course when I manage to get my head out of space of being miserable ball of sadness and angst xD Human emotions suck.

Hugs It means a lot that someone cares. Thank you.

Meh. Will see I guess. What I hate is waiting and seems like there is always some sort of waiting in life. I still have not learned how to deal with waiting and want the answers immediately.

I miss the 7 11 snacks xD

Hehe, I do like to imagine one day that we'll be able to link in with our brains directly into some sort of virtual reality world.

The coolest thing about something like that, to me, is just how many physical limitations we could overcome by decoupling our conscious selves from our physical bodies; even if we must remain inside them in the real world. Sure we could fly around and manifest random objects from nothing and be as "young" as we want and everything... but imagine if we could even tap into the areas of our brains that control our perception of time itself.

Imagine that one day when we were 70 years old and our bodies were frail, we could climb into some machine that put our bodies in suspended or slowed animation, but somehow recalibrated our neural impulses to maintain a normal sense of time.

The closest thing to an afterlife that we could create, maintain, and measure. A hundred years, maybe more, of a carefree and limitless retirement from reality.

Ahaha, look at what Elon is doing to piggies already with the neurolink, I'm sure that is not far away xD

Yes, please. I need that machine already.

Eh, why are all these things still just fiction? They should hurry the fuck up. I want my upload to the cloud.

Hmm... uploading... well, as previously discussed, I have my reservations about actual uploading. Just put my brain meat in some kinda anti-aging container and hook up the interface please.

I'm still not convinced an artificial brain would have that spark of conscious life. Just keep the real me alive as long as possible, then as I eventually die, sure, fine... upload me. At that point what is there to lose?
