You had to be there to really feel it up close and personal... I'm still amazed that I survived any of it...
It didn't stop there... That was just the fun part.. it got worse.. much much worse!.. But it taught me a lot about communicating with living things...
I wonder if what happened could be done with electronics..?
The next morning I was still paralyzed 100%... I tried just about everything to break the freeze that little monkey laid on me... I broke it by accident while I started to try something new... I had to pee so bad!.. I barely managed to get to my knees, then made my way around the camp for half an hour till I got my legs working...
I now know why the ancients who were paralyzed by those beasts flatly refused to talk about it... It's obvious.. they messed themselves in their togas...
After I did my morning camp things, and took a stroll to look at, and erase, all her huge footprints, I got into some stuff way too deep for my level of evolution to handle safely... It nearly killed me several times... The very worst part of the whole mess was when a small bumble bee mistook my ear for a flower, and crawled in, and got stuck... Every time it tried to back out, it caught its stinger in my ear-hole skin, and each time, it injected a tiny bit of venom, and I could hear that it was growing angrier by the second... I knew if I tried prying it out with a stick I'd get a nasty big sting(s) which would very likely kill me... Already the whole side of my head and neck felt invenomated, and my ear and neck stung like a new kind of fire... I had nothing but a fleeting chance that telepathy maybe might work... By then it was the very worst experience of my whole life, times two, coming up for three... It was Big compared to laying out in the wilderness all night totally paralyzed, like a fresh meat-meal set out for anything brave enough to come along and take a bite out of me... All I could do was hear... I heard a lot of large creatures walking around that night... I heard a deer walk close by, and slip in the creek... It's a wonder I've still got nerves left after that night...
I telepathed to the bee in mental-video like the Bigfoot taught me the night before... I had to almost "become" the bee... I detailed in mental video to the bee how "we step forward to release our stinger from the skin, then we raise our bum up as high as we can, and hold it up, then we back out"... The bee stepped forward, raised its bum, and backed out.. and I just stood there with the whole side of my head feeling like it was on fire... I wonders if the bee in the ear was a test..?
Somehow that level of communication will one day be reproduced by electronics, but not today, and not by most people, who are still arguing about the basic existence of the "mind", and fear the mind more than they fear death...
Yesterday, a young hornet entered my shed just after I did, and made a beeline straight to me, and hovered a foot from my face, with no sound.. Its wings were flapping so soft and gentle, it looked like fuzzy aura... "a soft bee" thinks It... She flew close to my eye, then gently touched my left hand.. the hand I've been using to hold the spoon of honey that I've been feeding to the hornets in a little dish outside... She touched my hand, then flew to the dish.. When I returned with the spoon of honey, she was waiting at the dish... She was way too gentle and mature for such a young bee... Me thinks it was the queen communicating to me through the little one, in politely requesting more honey... I just gotta make that form of communication into electronics...
I've experienced several prime experiences with other stinging critters... all as intense, and one much worse than the little bee in the ear... I wonder how this level of communication could be synthesized for a computer OS..? There's something in it that I can't see yet... Can you imagine "telepathing to your computer, and it responding like it should..? This skin-graft computer needs this to work without keyboard and mouse...
Humans will need to think to make it work, which probably means this PC won't be a big seller.. just a whimsical novelty...

Check them out.. I merely defended myself from a flamer's initial attack... Check out all of that person's posts in this forum, and determine if that person starts flame-wars with innocents in this forum.. then you boot-out that mindless bully...
If you people can't handle this much reality, just say so, and I'll leave you with your old bowl of green mashed potatoes... But don't be insulting me just cuz you don't understand me... I hold enough data just in a tiny segment of my mind to delete all the content of all the world's universities, and replace it with new stuff... I bring a lot to a table, but I will Not tolerate bullies!.. I was big-time bullied all my life from birth, and now I'm Fighting back Big-time... Lets play nice, or not at all... If you can't handle anymore reality, just say so, and I'll leave you in your numb-stupor...

A little mark-humor for "Mark"...
My blond neighbor cut her front lawn maybe once a year, so to make my place look good I had to cut her little lawn whenever I did mine...
I was finishing up on her lawn, when a strange box-pear-shaped young female stops her car near me, gets out, and asks "Are you Mark?"..
I'm not Mark, so she drove away...
Seems the blond neighbor bragged at her hospital workplace that "a mark was doing her lawn for free, and that she should go find a mark too to do her lawn for free".. so that numbed out female probably went all over the town "searching for someone named Mark who would do things for her for free"...
I wonders how some people remembers when to breathe..?
