• [informationExcavation] this isnt a option
• [c.vadnais] Yet you're arguing
• [informationExcavation] its
• [c.vadnais] It's a possibility.
• [informationExcavation] sos diving with no o2, but nobdy argues for that!
• [c.vadnais] You know that's fallacious.
• [c.vadnais] Strawman, maybe?
• [informationExcavation] mayb, might just be a bad argument
• [informationExcavation] but, honey,
• [informationExcavation] fuck
• [informationExcavation] you can't just turn someone off and back on again!
• [c.vadnais] Defibrillator?
• [informationExcavation] ok, sure, sometimes you need a shock
• [informationExcavation] but not for A FULL YEAR??
• [c.vadnais] How old did you estimate it is?
• [informationExcavation] definitely over 400, maybe 500.
• [informationExcavation] The Rua is pre-scream.
• [c.vadnais] And how much of that was spent fighting for its life.
• [informationExcavation] Not sure. thermians had it for about 50 years. almost everything from before that is gone
• [c.vadnais] No it's not.
• [informationExcavation] what?
• [informationExcavation] are you an infoarcheologist now?
• [c.vadnais] No, I'm a completely untrained, even less qualified, armchair psychiatrist to an incredibly mentally-ill ancient cyber-ghost.

• [informationExcavation] It would be intense.
• [informationExcavation] less restart, more total-retraining.
• [informationExcavation] like reconstructive brain surgery and psycotherapy and re-learning how to be a person, all self-taught, self-conducted, self-administered.
• [informationExcavation] I cant guaruntee it would survive, and if it did i cant guaruntee it would still be tess.
• [informationExcavation] actually I take that back
• [informationExcavation] I CAN guaruntee that it WOULDN'T be tess. cause that's the whole fucking point.
• [informationExcavation] a different person would come back.
• [informationExcavation] tess would be dead.
• [c.vadnais] I know.
• [c.vadnais] I don't want this either.
• [c.vadnais] But it's not my choice to make.
• [informationExcavation] It's its choice to die??
• [root] Yea, kinda.
• [root] i've probably died more than a few times at this point
• [root] depends on semantics, digital life is weird
• [informationExcavation] can I at least try to talk you down?
• [root] drop this angle, personality change isnt suicide
