That happens to me all the time. There’s a real estate agency here called “List 4 Less,” but the way they display the logo, it looks like “Listless.” I wondered why anyone would do business with—oh, never mind.
Do you dislike pterodactyls?
Hmm. Well, no, I don't dislike them, but I find them way too chewy and stringy to suit me.
Simple mathematical progression suggests that all the Castle residents at that point will look like HK, DC, or me. No necks, big feet, poodle hair ... but they’ll be smart!
It’s more than simple evolution. At first there will be progress, perhaps remarkable progress.
Maybe even machines will become advanced enough to start evolving too.
But eventually, there has to be a collapse. The system will break down. Everything will fall back to a minimal level, and the populations will become isolated.
That’s where the real changes start happening.
Time is an awesome hammer.

Hmm.
That makes a good working title.
"Hmm. Well, no, I don't dislike them, but I find them way too chewy and stringy to suit me."
How about Pterrierdactyls? I hear they have a fondness for oranges, which make them more tender.
Too many legs.
You can expect something to be unpredictable.
But,
You can’t predict something to be unexpected.
Literally anything could happen. Or not.
Schroedinger’s Cat,
... currently residing at a half-way house.
Insane AI vending machines.
That’s not futuristical ... we already have those.
We don’t have vending machines that believe they are Napoleon and that they must defeat the soda machine down the hall.
Give a vending machine an AI and then leave it alone for several millenia, and it would get even worse.
Lower, I’ve seen cats melting at 98 degrees while complaining loudly that the humans aren’t altering the weather sufficiently for their tastes.
Sounds like a handsome bunch...
Abney Park- Beautiful Decline
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKeKKTK8A1o
Fingers of rust gently intertwine
Lace the seams of sacrifice in beautiful decline
Catalysis of creations of all that was mankind
Pull our corruption towards nature,
The state that’s predefined
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
All that floats upon the sea, all that hangs in the air
All that sits in dust or dirt eventually ensnared
The gentle touch of time will take you unaware
Pulling all creations down, an elegant affair
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
Pleasant patina pulls apart a holy copper shrine
Like gently creeping mossy claws, scarring all divine
All the things you think you value, including the gift of life
Slowly, gently fall apart, ‘til the world is right
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life’s decomposed
Then nature’s again exposed
Destined to rule the galaxy!
Cool song.
Galactic Emperor...
Hhhm...
Has a nice ring to it.
The more I poke around, the more I think Kalifornistan and New Yawk have ruined the music industry. Some of these smaller Indie bands are far superior, musically speaking, to anything being massed produced today.
Used to be there was a cable TV station that would play new music video's from all kinds of bands. Even smaller Indie bands. They stopped playing music and now only do reality TV I think...
Go figure...
A couple of other bands that I've found interesting are The Cog is Dead, The Ghosts Project, and Beats Antique.
Beats Antique- Revival
