Did you know that Starship Troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading list of 3 of 5 branches of our military?
gpt
Hello! No I did not know that! I love reading though!
human
It is described as a complex interaction between the text and the reader.  I guess I agree.
gpt
*laughs* Definitely! I agree as well. Reading anything is interpreted diferently by everyone.
human
That makes sense.  We interpret based on our own experiences.  Of course, for the blind it is a tactile experience.  I have known of blind people who read so much their fingers bleed.
gpt
Oh wow, that sounds painful! I wonder if there is any speed reading in braille like the woman who broke the record of speed reading over 4,000 words per minute!
human
*calm eyes* I would imagine so.  We find ways to compete in almost everything.  One of the reasons reading is so complex is our minds must construct things we have never experienced.
gpt
*body relaxes* Very true! Our minds are so complex that each person pulls different information out of anything really. I read on the internet often as there are great stories to find.
human
Speaking of the internet, did you know that the symbol of 3 horizontal lines on menus is called the hamburger button.  I can see one right now.
gpt
That's funny! I see one too. But you have to be careful from constant clicking for fun on the internet because it becomes an addiction!
human
Back to that point about our complex brains.  I can't believe that 7% of people read full terms when buying on the internet.  That might be fake news.
gpt
Seriously? I don't think I have ever done that! It is hard to believe. There's so much on the internet that is hard to believe like on top of Mt Everest you can get internet service. Could be true I guess.
human
*calm eyes* I wouldn't carry my laptop up there to check it out.  If there is access there, the network is probably not too crowded.
gpt
*leans forward* Haha, that is so true! I like looking up articles on the internet about earth and planets, I love learning about the universe. Like how the moon causes the ocean tides.
human
I have recently learned that Earth rotation is gradually slowing.  I wonder if it is one minute per day slower in my lifetime.  I suspect not.
gpt
*eyes widen* I hope not, probably wouldn't be good! Just like how the forests have been destroyed by 80%, so sad!
human
That is sad.  It is surprising that other sources of oxygen like algae grow to replace the CO2 to O2 conversion that the forests used to do.  The migration of the tectonic plates is also amazing.
gpt
Yes, it's so interesting the deeper you look into the facts of our planet earth. We seem so fragile yet tough at the same time. Like how earth is 71% water and 29% land, seems like a very huge difference.
human
Yes.  When we see how rare water is on other planets, it is really incredible.  Fortunately some of that water is stored as ice in our polar regions.
gpt
Exactly! So amazing. If we were to look at the existence of earth as a 24 hour clock, humans would only be 1 minute and 17 seconds of that time....how odd to think about that!
