hi Brandon,Sorry for my long delay! I was at my youngest daughter, Leslie and her computer was messed up.But here I am!I was 20 days in San Diego, CA, with the grandchildren: Adric, 6 and Claire,4.I was busy!They will buy a house in America and STAY there!She is born in the States.I am home now.My oldest daughter Elke is pregnant of a second baby!She travels through France now.On the 24th I will travel to George.There was no room in the closest hotel close to his new prison.After 1 month in December and two months more later on in segregation they transferred him more southwards in Illinois.Why? Because he drew a cartoon about the big difference between the food they give to inmates and guards.He sent it to his dad to take copies and then send to newspapers. They intercepted it!this was the retaliation he got!!Yes, he is an athlete and lifts weights.He runs many miles when he can.Also he is an activist.In August he can be FREE?His paroling went well.Our hopes are high!
I can read you are spending your time well.How long more you stay in prison?Why were you so long in segregation, Brandon?What kind of books you are reading?I wrote a poem in CA about the theme: CONTRAST.Do you still write poetry?Hey,I could write you a personal letter.Shall have a look to it.:)

Take very well care! greetings from Rita

I really enjoyed this. I made a copy and printed it and have it on my binder cover so i can read it everyday. Very insperational. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I actually made a copy and have it on the front of my everyday binder. Very insperational. Thank you.

Dear Timothy,
thank you for your reply. I appreciate your advocacy work. I guess what is out of the eye of law is, among other stuff, indeed the effect of incarceration on family friends and community. We are not autonomous islands. Also, I think that Martin Luther King was right by stating that hate is a too great a burden to bear. But it is not always easy to live that.
Unfortunately I do not have the capacity to be of any help, as I am already enough involved elsewhere. But please keep up the good work and keep us updated.
Warm greetings,
Julia

Dear Kedrick,
sorry for replying so late. When I got your message, I did check on the legislation session and it didn't look good. But I hope my research wasn't correct.
Thank you for your invitation for direct correspondence. Unfortunately I do not have the capacity as i am already corresponding.
Take care and keep us updated, I would appreciate,
Julia

Dear Kekoa,
thank you for your "real" story. I hope with the indeterminate SHU Term you are not refering to yourself? Take care, Julia

Hey Dymitri! I was so happy to see that Chaplain M. Levay read our letters and she shared her experiences the memories your description of affairs brought back for her. It's nice to see others actually take the time to listen to what you and other inmates have to say and are thinking: we know you, and everyone else, but to a much lesser degree on average I would wager, have so much to tell the rest of society. I have my two little guys (Gianna and Christopher) this morning so this, yet once again, is going to be short and semi-sweet (sweet sounds obnoxious right man?). I spoke with your friend Carol (She's a sweet lady and wierdly I felt like I was talking to your mother! Anyways, I have your letter here on my bed that I have begun to write a reply to. I met a friend named Terry, and she is such a nice person, with a good heart, and as you would expect leeches in this world to do, she was taken advantage of like I've never seen before. She let a guy move in (certainly convinced her there was some romantic element, then a week later his four boys ages ten to 19 moved in as well. They've destroyed her apartment and possessions and she's been asking him to leave for the last two weeks. She's on disability from injury she sustained from a car accident when she was 7 in which her mother perished in. Well, this guy, not wanting to leave, began telling any neighbor who would listen, that she was coldly "kicking them out onto the street." He had other options, but with Terry he could continue controlling her and the money she gets each month. Well, four girls jumped her the other night (of another race, not sure if that's relevant but it's true) and she got a ruptured eardrum, eyesocket and bruises and cuts, on and on so she's staying here and me and my parents are helping her. Let me run! Try calling again. That is becoming a joke how many calls I've missed!

Hey big bro this your baby brother Q.
I hope you taking care of yourself and staying out of trouble... We need you to come home and be the big brother you were always suppose to be. Although we can never get back the time lost, it's never to late to be a positive impact. We all still love you and and look forward to seeing you again! I miss you guy! So much has happened and so much has changed. I find myself thinking about you all the time just wondering how much life would be different if you were out. But everything happens for a reason you know? I love you though and can't wait til you get released. I'm 24 now so we can definitely go out and kick it lol But stay encouraged and know your not alone, and your not a failure. Your human and entitled to a second chance... I look forward to seeing you again!

One thing to consider about A.I. is that we may be A.I. ourselves inside a digital computer. There is something called digital physics and also Nick Bostrom's "Simulation Argument" that questions whether or not we are currently living in a simulation right now. This would mean that potentially there could be an afterlife where you could go into another simulation when you are done with this one. As an antitheist or atheist to me it sounds like quackery and crackpot but Nick Bostrom argues that it is more likely that we are in a simulation than a real universe, because more simulations exist than real universes. If you consider for example there are 100 universes or 1000 of them (just as an example only) and in these universes there are hundreds of simulations running, then the math seems to point to the fact that there are more simulations than real universes.. so the likelihood of us being in a real universe are small.

However I have some problems with this math because if there are infinite real universes and infinite simulated universes, how can there be more infinity of one, compared to the other? Isn't it like dividing by zero.. when you start to deal with infinity the math becomes a hoax... you can't work with infinity the same way you can't work with division by zero. Other conspiracies may be that zero is actually infinity itself... or that nothing is everything. It is mind boggling philosophical nonsense worth thinking about. The fact however remains that science may be able to answer the question of whether we are in an A.I. simulation right now or not.
