Oooh I like it.

Bow down to me fools lest I smite thee with my abstract mathematical concepts!

Oh bollocks. I've given up using neural networks due to their lack of explanatory power and have started using dynamical systems.

Does this I mean I get demoted to demi-god?

I skipped all the steps and unilaterally declared Myself to be a goddess.  Conveniently I chose magisteria that don't actually need divine intervention:  The vernal equinox, punctuation, chocolate, and Random Equipment Malfunctions.

I remain agnostic of My own divinity, however.  Wink

Chocolate is key.

What is it about this time of year that brings out all the fucking weirdos?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
