Squishy stuff …

“Spock would have been happiest as simply a software engineer. God forbid you enter that field AFTER 30, as a human, and KNOW the ‘squishy stuff’ that doesn’t fit into logic – then you are truly doomed.” – Dr. Freckles

Simulation Theory

TBH:

The essential metaphysics of a “simulation universe” isn’t really that different from a “the universe is a manifestation of God’s will and thought” …

(first there was the Word)

(another name for a series of bytes)

If you can imagine THE DECEPTION, as being, as ugly and deep that a 10 billion year old universe can instantiate?

Then you are kind of groping in the world of Lovecraft.

(and we might simply be NPCs in an ocean of semi-deterministic bullshit)

(but there’s beer and cigs)

Deal or not …

“You can deal with your trauma, in whatever clean or messy way you have, or you can BECOME your trauma. It’s never been easier than that.” – Dr. Freckles

Do you take the money?

Thought Experiment or Gedanken:

Let’s say you were a podcaster, and you spoke YOUR truth. One day some dude comes to you and says – “I’ll give you $5 million to stop talking about your truth.”

Do you take the money?

If you do why?

If you don’t why?
