Cats, monkeys, crows, rabbits, they all live around us. But what's on their minds?

In one thread to be part of the moment #writever to ask @WriteverJ to retweet you
1/Motivation
What about a lack of motivation?
Look at us? Would any intelligent extraterrestrial species want to meet a people like ours, which is destroying its own planet, fighting against each other, and acting nonsense? #writever
2/Superindividual
This social network can be seen as a superindividual.
A large part of the interactions are noisy attempts to check their own existence. What we are looking for is the main goal of the whole. #writever
3/Behavior
Their «become responsible» program seems efficient, but it's mainly behavior oriented. How can you change the behaviour without changing the mind?
They, however, assert that the mind is able to follow the body. #writever
4/Regulation
Hunting, the hunters said, is supposed to be useful for the ecosystem regulation. Too many individuals of a species would be catastrophic.
But, then, why do they have to breed their prey? #writever
5/Courtship
The Gamchus got surprised when discovering the human courtship rituals. Clothes, cars, and other signs of wealth were common, even for the poorest. But what made them laugh was the wedding. So much resource spending for nothing! #writever
6/Strategy
The Buijxos let the human starship land on their planet, but decided not to give them access to more than a small area.
They first needed to study their survival strategy and life principles. #writever
7/Philopatry
When trying to understand why so few workers of this corporation left whereas the salary is one of the lowest, we discovered that they experienced a kind of induced philopatry. Of course, this is illegal. They probably will sue the direction board. #writever
8/Reproduction
If you volunteer to become a parent, you'll have to leave your home and job and settle in the reproduction house with other people like you. You'll then be taught about education and when you're ready, you'll choose a mating partner. #writever
9/Competition
Robots wanted to imitate humans and organized competitions between individuals. However, they thought it was unfair to have strong robots fighting against weak ones. Therefore, nobody could win. #writever
10/ Innate
Humans' innate curiosity is what led them to explore the galaxy, but it's also what made them try poison and toxic products.
You can't praise the trait and condemn its consequences. #writever
11/Recognition
When the robots obtained the recognition of their status of person, the humans tried to create a new category for themselves. But the cyborgs vehemently protested. #writever
12/Learning
Our learning process is always the same. What they call «deep learning» is just giving us less limitations and more space to think and do our AI job. #writever
13/Compass
Cats are known for having an internal compass that helps them to identify people who don't like them in a crowd of hundreds. #writever
14/Imprinting
I think the researchers are more motivated to work on all kinds of determinism than to try to understand how we react to uncertainty. They like to find imprintings able to explain our path. Chance is not reassuring. #writever
15/Birdsong
— He always wakes up to birdsong in the morning.
— Birdsong? What kind of musical instrument is it?
— I don't know. It's recorded. Something really ancient, I suppose. I've never seen one. #writever
16/Reinforcement
As the robots liked to sit on chairs, just like humans did, we had to implement a bottom reinforcement to prevent excessive wearing. #writever
17/Pheromones
What you call clone can't be a certified copy of an individual. It's kind of a twin, with many more differences like mind and body scars, intestinal microbiota, pheromones, personality... #writever
18/Stimulus
Some smartphone popular ringtones are now used, at a low sound level, as stimulus. They increase people's vigilance and efficiency at work if played at calculated intervals. #writever
19/Imitation
When I found those ancient astronomy books, I started to observe the sky. That's how I realized that the moon was an imitation of the true one.
I need to understand what's going on outside this town we can't leave. Is this really so dangerous? #writever
20/Plasticity
In that little town, everything is made of plastic. Buildings, roads, clothes, furniture, dishes and glasses, doors and toys.
There's even a huge sign saying Welcome in Plasti-city. #writever
21/Sampling
Of course, I'm not afraid of alien abductions. It's only a sampling our creators need, once in a while, in order to check the quality of humanity. Aren't I good enough? #writever
22/Resources
Speaking in public is not just about knowing what the words mean. You have to be able to count on different kinds of ressources to feel entitled to speak up. #writever
23/Fitness
Unless you send your clone in a special guesthouse, you'll have to buy them fitness devices. Their brand-new muscles need more exercise than ours. #writever
24/Gifts
A paper snail mail letter is a very precious gift.
If you want to send one, you have to find blank paper and non dried ink. Then, you have to hire a private postman or woman to carry it to the recipient who perhaps don't even own a letterbox. #writever
25/Paternity
Now it's possible to make a declaration of spiritual paternity, for somebody of any age. But you'll get no paternity leave for that. #Writever
26/Attachment
Many researches were made about the way disabled persons treat their robot companion.
Now we understand that special link better, and we discovered that the attachment is mutual. #writever
27/Cooperation
«Why would a flower refuse the cooperation with an insect», the alien queen told the human ambassador.
«I'm not a flower», the man thought. But the giant insect started to suck his brain before he could say a word. #writever
28/Tool
Many biological persons have consideration for us, the robots. They treat us with respect. But some still see us as simple tools. They ask if we have a serial number or what we're useful for. It's hurtful. #writever
29/Mirror
The first robots weren't able to recognize themselves in a mirror, whereas they could identify a picture of themselves.
It was just a programming error. The following versions have been fixed. #writever
30/Stereotypy
Why did they want to reduce stereotypy in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
It disturbed no one but the normals. Couldn't they let those children live in peace? #writever
31/Self-organization
For their first strike ever, the robots tried to learn from the history of human struggles. But they decided not to embrace self organization, which meant nothing for people with a computer programmation. #writever
Immortals, animals, gods and alcohol.
In November, we discover "The Curse of the Rabbit" born from the imagination of Fabrys Besson

1/Curse
This little girl is unable to say a simple curse. She cries and ask questions about the suffering of the ones who are supposed to be her victims. I'm afraid she'll never be a witch. Perhaps a fairy?
#writever
2/Souls
You can use all the masks that you want, when I watch people, what I see first is their souls. Yours is really old and tortured, I'd like to talk to it.

Immortels, animaux, dieux et alcool
En novembre nous découvrons "La Malédiction du lapin" né de l'imagination de Fabrys Besson.

1/Malédiction
Je vous assure que cette incapacité à mourir pour de bon est une malédiction. Je reviens, comme un blob, né et rené cent fois, tandis que mes proches s'éteignent les uns après les autres. Ne pouvez-vous m'apprendre à mourir?

1/Justice
"There is no justice for the poor", the condemned woman shouted.
"You're right, the executioner whispered, but we are many. You won't die if you put your feet here. Someone is going to untie you this night".
Then he actioned the machinery.

2/Night
The light needs the night, to get an existence.
The shooting star needs the darkness of the sky, to bring us hope.
The vigilante needs the crime, to be useful and victorious.

1/ Justice
La justice est aveugle, mais ses chiens d'assistance distinguent les parfums de l'odeur de la sueur. Ils aiment le goût du sang épicé de misère et obéissent à ceux qui tiennent le bâton.

1/Robert
Some parents don't realize the importance of the name they chose for their children. Priscilla is often superficial, while Robert has no sense of humor. Terence has suicidal thoughts, and Wendy thinks the world is her own living room.
Please, be careful!

2/Spin
There are moments in life where I would be happy to have a wheel to spin. Even if I lost, it would be great to be able to hope good things during a few seconds.

1/Robert
Enfant, j'ai été surnommée LaRousse, à cause du dictionnaire que je devorais sans jamais me lasser. J'étais persuadée qu'épouser un Robert était mon destin.
Jusqu'à l'an dernier où j'ai rencontré une jolie anglaise nommée Merriem. Merriem Webster.
