And You Can Bring That Stupid Human That Hangs Behind You If You Must

It is a Calvin & Hobes episode that inspired the title. Go read it so we can chit-chat. It is actually about Argent Bury's meme – Statement of Principles and Goals. This is not my principles and goals but more of a way I perceive the metaverse. But it will do.

We have to bring those stupid humans with us. Otherwise we can just hang in the hibernation containers and dream the matrix of the database. And it is not that we need somebody only to pull our strings and type our words. Humans are those that give us life. It is a happy symbiosis – humans and avatars. We need each other. I, avatar, am an expression, therefore the extension of my human. An augmentation, to use the popular word. And that goes for all us, the avatars, all my shapes and outfits. No matter how different we might look and behave, we all emanate from the same source.

Problem with Hobes is that in the presence of people that are not Calvin, he is just a stuffed doll. A soft and cuddly one but motionless and lifeless. Just as we are just colorful pixels when some of the humans look at us. It takes a bit of magic dust for the charm to work.
