I run the Narrative Intelligence Lab at U Kentucky where I do research and teach about storytelling, old school symbolic AI, and game dev. http://cs.uky.edu/~sgware

A woman says "She's figured out how to hack your motivation circuit, dude!" A man responds, "Honestly, I'm glad SOMEONE has! I can be the owner OR the operator of this brain, but not both at the same time."
Place of Worship On Sunday mornings While other families are at church or sleeping in We go to Malibu Jack’s. I like the ritual of it. We go through the motions And eat the prescribed food. We raise our hands to heaven As the rollercoaster drops. On high holy days We ride the Go Karts. It costs money to come here, you know. Just like a church. You are wrapped up in the wonder of this place. I make small talk with the other parents Or sit in peace for a few minutes. Can I get a Hallelujah? Our time here is short. We have to go in five minutes. Soon, you will outgrow this place. Just like I did. I want to pass on my beliefs to you. Did you hear me? Five minutes. You may cry when it’s time to go. Just like I did.
