I... I guess that makes sense, then. For you guys. But not for us.
I've gotta disagree with what you're saying about Earth and machines, and not just because I am one, though I'm probably kinda biased. Sure, the planet's messed up, but it's not all bad. Nobody here is a shapeshifter. We get attacked by a tiger- that's our word for big scary cat- we don't change. It eats us. Unless we have technology to defend ourselves. So it's not like it really was a choice.
It's sorta worse when you're a robot. I'm not kidding when I say a 10-year-old could probably beat me up. We die easy, though it's really hard to kill us so we stay dead. Doesn't help that I've always been way small for my age. I get what you're saying about wild animals. Used to feel like that all the fucking time when I was a little kid. But it's... it's no good when you can't defend yourself. Just makes you crazy. Or you feel so helpless that you just give up. So... yeah. Bring on the machines.
Anyway... *smiles* Man, this is heavy stuff. I totally can't imagine you as a weaver! I wish school were like an apprenticeship, maybe I'd do good if it was something I actually liked. Science and art all day long, that I could handle! But no, they send all the kids to a place where you have to sit quietly and learn about all kinds of boring stuff. I can barely sit still. Half the time I can't even keep track of what's going on. It's pretty bad.
