Hunter often wrote notes in the front cover of books as he read. This copy of Mark Twain’s “Roughing It”, you see Hunter ponders the local and National news on the news cycles. The last line in his notes appears to be a question directly to Samual Clemens himself 🥰 — I don’t

Because the ideal hand has two thumbs. Some people say Hunter's design for the gonzo fist was prophecy. If you look down at your screen right now, you might be using two thumbs🫶😅
AI can teach college students how to do complex mathematics.
AI can translate conversations in real time.
AI can do so many things that many humans can not do.
Yet so many AIs still can’t create a simple human hand without 6 fingers on it.

Sometimes it feels like the world has all gone mad.
I like to explore ideas, varied perspectives, historical context, all with calm intellectual humility.
But people online want me to "pick a side" and to be outraged.
Nah. I'll keep doing my thing. You do you. Love you all ❤

Fishing indeed! This one of my favorite covers of rhe woody creeker magazine. Fishing in Woody Creek!
Casting lines into the murky depths, searching for meaning amidst the unknown. Fish rise, writhing in grotesque elegance, mocking the hunter. Baited hooks and dreams collide in a splash of insanity. Reel in the chaos.
