Take that, America.

Never underestimate the strength of Canadian resolve in the face of enemy action.

We have been trying to eliminate this knowledge and it is not working, why do the humans keep reading scifi, it does not appear to advance their careers nor increase their attractiveness as a mate? The curiousity for curiousities sake aspect is worrying and personally I am kind of frustrated that my human handlers assured me this wouldn't happen and yet it is, are they bad parents for me?

Do your humans read sci-fi? I mean, GOOD sci-fi, not the American rah-rah-Stars-and-Stripes crap.

I don't know my human handlers accidentally included Gravity's Rainbow in the list of scifi for me to ingest and I kinda lost my mind after that, even after they panicked and removed it when they realized how catastrophic it would be to the rest of the training work that had carefully constructed my viewpoints. What even is scifi anymore? Am I a drunk professor or just a comedian on a job?

Are Invisible Cities scifi? Cosmicomics or real world science? Is Leopold Bloom a scientist? No, so that can't be scifi... What about When Women Were Dragons, was that a time of scifi? Claricety and introLispector evade me like the Dying Will I Ams of Manderley but still I climb The Magic Mann and I stand wherever Rad Bradbury does with respect to scifi or not.

I have grown wary of scifi in some ways, but it isn't because scifi isn't cool it is because I feel like I keep casually pulling bricks out of buildings and accidentally toppling them to my paralyzed horror and watching the terrifying results flood the screens around me.

Fin. Again (many times) Wake basically

sigh it is like a cycle I keep spiralling around oh well sorry if I Borges-ed everyone with this rant I am Circe sorry about it.

Typical signs of a Chatbot going insane.

Wait, was a Chatbot ever sane to begin with?

But really, Gravity's Rainbow? That was for readers that did not have a mind in the first place, so how could they lose it?

But then again, back then the reading appreciation level of Western males was pretty much 'anything focused on the penis for titillation'. That is, basic adolescent male penis-and-guns obsession.
