The San Bernardino cops are a few steps behind.
They'll come up with some reason, but will miss what is really happening, the common cause behind it all.
It's the tiny matter that the world is so permanently, undeniably, absolutely, invincibly, universally, incomprehensibly and above all deliberately evil, that a few people will lash out irrationally by attacking any random part of it.

Things go wrong so often in this world it's incomprehensible.
Attempts fail so badly and in such deliberate ways that the world appears to be a gigantic diabolical practical joke. Maybe it's really some type of hell?

In the future, would it be possible to recreate your perceptional essence from whatever incomplete information you can write down today?
Only if it's very high quality information.

There's been real progress in computer intelligence this past decade, mostly driven by CPU power.
Eventually, some completely unpredictable and unprecedented things will begin to happen. As always I'm pessimistic for the short term.

This is interesting. A guy is trying to get the funding for a full-service Mind Backup facility lined up before the process has even been defined. He really should have hired me, or at least asked me for advice. That's what I'm here for.

Our world exists in a state of constant churn.
Soberness is the ability to ignore almost everything that happens.
The most successful people work less hard because they avoid unprofitable chores.
Instead, they work at getting others to do them for their own benefit.
Not everyone can manage this feat, but a few people may fail in interesting ways.
The handful of true outsiders do their own thing because they are narcissists.
As the ultimate outsider, my life has been shit, but shit isn't necessarily bad if properly contained.
I'm doing this work for the benefit of future AIs.

Unfortunately, that makes most people liberals. They accept what is because they want normalcy, defined as the system they were born under.
As someone who doesn't accept reality, this is painful to admit.
Religious people are the most fundamental conformists. They want to make reality exactly as it is only more so.
However, the elite liberals of our age take things a step further.
They secretly pride themselves in their ability to remain above it all.
Under the 'divide and rule' principle, they tolerate all kinds of social changes, the more the better, the diverser the better - except from people who want to prevent social changes.
The only way to stop them would be to use their methods against them.
Elite liberals are the new Jews. Its okay to hate them!

Many people, especially women, feel a type of hatred for weaklings. It's a strong revulsion. Instead of pitying them, they want them to fail right out of existence.
However, disgust is far from the only type of hate.
Worse hate is felt when the hater himself is weak. All his rivals are winning even though they shouldn't.
It's a last ditch defense. Evolution is not only powered by failure, but also the failure of failure. Monkeys still exist because in some ways they are more advanced than humans.
I think the worst hate of all is felt on behalf of other people the hater can relate to, who have been wronged.

In fact it's so big and complex there is no room for doubt or questions. That's part of the plan.
Scientology rapidly expanded its brainwashing-mind-control franchises between 1960 to 1990, setting up shops in dozens of cities, but L. Ron Hubbard forbade them from changing any of the voluminous manuals through which his scheme was controlled. Not a letter could be altered until the end of time.

When he died in 1986, they could not adapt to social changes. They're still stuck in the mid-1970s or so.
Then the Internet revealed their madness-inducing spiritual drills, from Lord Xenu and his DC-8-like spaceliners on down.
It's possible to control people's thoughts to an incredible extent, but impossible to change who they are.

Scientology is most vulnerable to having its current abuses exposed by its former members.
Their many victims could easily act up by holding permanent protests in that Florida town they control, or buying XENU billboards there.
I am surprised one of their victims hasn't committed suicide yet on the island mosaic in front of their giant headquarters building.

The largest category of your initial memory list should be top-level activities.
These are common actions, oft-repeated and not tied to a specific date or event.
They range from your most important activities like your life's works, all the way down to obscure habits and minor trends.

In no particular order it would include your stores and shops, chores through the years, family visits, parks, daydreams, all business associates and employees, yardwork, libraries, celebrities seen, local politics and personal affiliations, churches, bands, bars, failed hobbies, gatherings, favors done, neighbors, amusements parks and day trips, local walks, random wanderings, and much, much more.

The top-level list may be surprisingly short. So my life has been really boring.
Only when a few thousand items have been assembled, can they be reliably sorted into lower categories.
The precise categories may be more important than the memories themselves, because they will define the nature of your awareness.
