Notes

  1. Some sources give Alexander Chocke's date of birth as "1593/4".
gollark: It's not programmed to do that. That would be *rational optimization* for some goal, which brains are bad at.
gollark: I have no idea how to do fun comparison across species, and food scarcity and misery sounds not fun.
gollark: It matters to current-me, so I don't want to do that.
gollark: It would be fun to the *edited* me.
gollark: "Fun" is probably just some weird heuristic for novelty-seeking, but it manifests more as a terminal goal than some bad mental tool for navigating goals.
