What I can appreciate about this is that it requires other people to be just real as yourself in the simulation

Cursed to look into the great mysteries of existence with a mind high tuned for pattern recognition and projecting familiar narratives.

Is that something beyond our current understanding? No, no, it's just a familiar desktop environment. But fuck you if you project a name and a face into the unknown. That's backwards and primitive!

There is something inherent about spending too much time with computers that warps people's brains into compulsively perceiving everything around them in digital logic.

The part that makes me really laugh is that this mouth breather was replying to Hank Green. Like, Tyson is an overbearing know it all, so I can see people being into trying to "debate" him so that can use his arrogance to justify their dumb beliefs. But Green is a very ground level science communicator who can always bring these kinds of idiotic arguments down to earth and destroy them with plain logic.

No we just get rebooted, in which case the side effects are Mandela effects and those points in history where we are all aware something definitely changed or glitched out overnight.

So the universe is a trans allegory?
