The Compulsive Communicators

David Attenborough's reverent look at "Life on Earth", refers to humans as the "Compulsive Communicators".
What happens to the most compulsive of these when they are isolated from anyone to talk to?
MADNESS

The question is, what kind?
Here's one. It's like a poor man's Second Life. There are two main differences: 1. You have to use your imagination for everything; and 2. (and this is the really rough part) there's no one else, since your imagination, is well, your imagination, if no one else imagines the same things, there you are...
This will surely drive you mad, if you don't have to be mad to begin with to even do it.

I've Gone Mad Checklist
Type: Scientific Madness

1. Learn just enough science to sound like you know what you're talking about, even to yourself
2. Discover "invisible world"
3. Decorate it with technical mumbo jumbo
4. Get some type of job that gives you some credibility
5. Idealize your self in that world
6. Become mysterious and misunderstood (because you're so smart, evidenced by you zero nobel prizes, Ph.D's, etc.)
7. Write a manifesto
8. Let appearance go so you can look like a mad scientist
9. Post it all to your zero-comment blog
10. Let the beasts have their way or fight to live another day

MANIFESTO - DRAFT

pointer - don't just rant, try to dignify your obsessions with grand themes like truth, beauty, love, and God (prefferable Buddhist)
The allegories and metaphors are not entertainment. They are real.
Everything sings the same song.
Friction teaches us that resistance is everywhere, but that once you get things going, it's easier to overcome it.
The prism teaches us that things are not what they seem, not even light.
"Must there be light to see? What is at the center of the darkeness?"
The sostenuto teaches us that some things need to be left free to vibrate;
and the rodent that bigger teeth always need grinding.

Reality is an intelligence that teaches us about love.
Cynicism is the same as death.
So materialism is the religion for the young, what about the old?.....
"I've got it, make them feel bad about not being young. Sell them age products!"
When we legitamize anyone thinking of us as a consumer, rather than a brother or sister, neighbor, then we become less than human, taking the chains our selves, because they look so good, and putting them on, oursleves.
pointer - it's OK to go overboard on things as long as they relate to your overall delusion.

Things that are computationally equivalent can be transformed into each other.
pointer - make an scientific outlandish prediction, if you're accidentally right, you'll be a profit in the future!
I predict that NP-Complete problems are computationally similar to black holes and will be found to radiate polynomial solutions.

Personal philosophy, religion, ethics, spirituality, aesthetics, and the other elements of individual, personal, CULTURE, have been appropriated by some business or institution. They invalidate our desire to develop these and replace them with "store bought" versions that are easier to market and distribute.
pointer - use puctuation to keep your Manifesto from beoming monotonous, you want your Manifesto to stand out.

Fear -> Lying -> Hatred -> Harm -> Fear
Revenge -> Harm
-> Fear
-> Revenge

Power Corrupts

There is but one moment
There is but one choice
