RE: Why I Build Underwater Habitats for Hamsters

in #science3 years ago

This is really cool, I can only imagine how awesome it is to be inside your mind, you're smart. I am impressed by your story, autism and struggling financially haven't stopped you to be the internet madman making their childhood dream a reality.. I congratulate you! Also... Pet insurance? That is cool, never knew it existed.

You know what I imagine? How would it be if you could build an entire maze underwater, where the little ones could walk around, like in a gigantic invisible space station. RodentX, the future is under. Random thought in my mind lol.

Sort:  

Workin on it. Next step is Megahab, a 2 story habitat roughly 3x the interior volume of one of the current modules. The idea is to eventually have a huge network of them in a pool, pond or lake.

I guess I enjoy being in my mind, but I have no theory of mind and as such can't compare it to anything, so I suspect this might be a "grass is always greener" situation. NTs have the enviable natural ability to network into cooperative social superorganisms, functionally expanding themselves into/across their peers which behave as intermittent cognitive and emotional resources. That capability is what got humanity to where it is today, aspies are just along for the ride, one of nature's experiments. Time will tell if the human mind in empathic isolation from others, relentlessly and recursively investing into itself rather than connections with peers, is a better survival strategy for the coming century.

Incidentally I see you have a Twitter but are you on Medium? It's a paid blogging platform like Hive but it pays in USD directly. It has been quite lucrative for me as a place to "double dip"; I just copy over my Hive articles as I finish them. There's a $50 annual fee for the partner program (required to monetize articles) but I made that back within the first month. It took three years of banging away at it before it started to pay big money though, so be warned. Still there's hardly any reason not to, if you're already writing regularly for Hive.

This will be interesting to watch. We are social creatures but indeed studies have shown that creativity and inovation need solitude.

Thank you for the information, I will check it out, cheers😀
