I decided to put a Facebook Like button at the very top of my website. In addition to clicking a Like button on a particular post, visitors can now choose to like the whole site and get an idea about it’s popularity (currently nil).
Oh well, I’ll continue as if I had readers. That way I can at least contribute something to the permanent record (Internet) for posterity and future generations. Who knows, maybe I’ll have lots of grandkids or great grandkids that want to read about me, or at least me of the past. I plan to live forever you know!
So the Facebook Like button requires some meta tags in the header of my site. One of those tags is a description of this site. I hadn’t put much thought into describing Keegoid as a whole site so this was a perfect opportunity to motivate me to do so.
What follows may sound a little crazy, but it’s the culmination of what I’ve been observing, learning, and deep-thinking about since college…distilled down to a few sentences. So it’s bound to sound fanciful without a longer explanation. Follow the links for that.
Trying to say it in as clear and concise a way as possible helped me to realize not only the purpose for this site, but also a routine of observing, learning, and sharing that I want to continue into the future.
Keegoid’s Facebook Like button meta tag description, website focus, and purpose of life:
Keegoid is currently a nickname given to me to describe my personality as being rather…well…android-like. In the future, it may have a more literal meaning: Keegan, an organic-based intelligence, improved by technology. The technological part is now and will continue to be progressing exponentially. What that means for our future as organic life forms is anyone’s guess.
During his existence Keegoid observes, learns, and shares what he discovers with other intelligences that choose to do the same. Perhaps it is a consequence of the nature of intelligence to desire significance and perhaps it is futile, but Keegoid wants to be more than a resource or step in the universe’s multi-pronged, probabilistic approach toward ever increasing complexity and energy density per second i.e. progress.
For better or worse, it will continue as it has always continued. Will Keegoid continue as well to observe, learn, and share after our purpose is fulfilled? Will Keegoid even make it that far to observe the Singularity? A computationally irreducible intelligence can only hope.
