In the Beginning

In the beginning I was bad with plants. I mean I’m not terrible with plants - but much like books, collecting them is a different hobby from actually doing anything with them.

I guess I sometimes buy books from the perspective of the person I want to be. “I am a person that reads interesting books. I am a person who cares for plants”. Thank goodness for succulents, them hardy beasts. And I’m not too hard on myself because I am human after all. But AI will fix that, right? Norbert Wiener, cybernetics, extending our human form, making our lives easier and all that.
