Posting up my older notes from prepping to leave Dominica...
Booked a ticket to go to Sint Maarten! It's in the Dutch Caribbean.
Different plan than I'd expected. Now not planning Saint Lucia.
Quiet times in Kalinago Territory. Seems like basically the same each day? A few local events. Not that busy, though. Only one restaurant in this town. Doubles as a store with a few basic items.
Scenic place, but I'm becoming somewhat accustomed to the scenery. Nice hills, river.
Jejej, Caribbean Indians (natives) making curry. :)
Over millions of years, human brains evolved to trust and obey authority figures. It worked well enough as a biosocial hack for survival. More recently we've seen over and over again through exhaustive evidence that "authority" figures are often wrong, and often through malicious deception rather than just ignorance. People still have their biological brains, though, and often don't bother to question things. Hence we see people even now getting crushed by authoritarianism and other political problems. COVID's a decent example. Medicine and politics in general are decent examples.
Raining like crazy here in Kalinago territory. I'm guessing the mountains trap the water from the ocean, resulting in frequent rain. Plus I think we're just starting the official rainy season.
Wormfood: A Biography :)
Life has some weird twists and turns! Adapt!!!!! :)
Writer sim. Play a real live writer. Struggle to meet deadlines, scrape by on not much money, and deal with mental insanity. :)
I think that phrases may be among the hardest parts of learning a language (or dialect). Even if you already know the words and can even speak with a decent accent, people use certain phrases and phrase structures automatically that are hard to learn and use. I think this also applies to the difficulties that AI has in learning human language.
Rock & Roll!!! :)
