Indeed. The real point of the quote is knowability. The very root problem of Epistemology: how can I know *anything* when I cannot know if the universe is a lie or not?

And, right there, we start down the slippery slope to #SimulationTheory.

When you start to wonder if you are an NPC as the audience stand-in, meant to look on in horror as you experience a simulation of the worst seven decades of American #history.

(Actually, the first two decades were kinda cool in many ways, but they also completely set up the next five. Like the idyllic first act of a slasher flick, where you have clues things are fucked up, such as the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights protests and Disco, but everyone ignores them.)

A note to the future: If you are reading my posts as part of a project to recreate me as a computer simulation – I choose to opt-out, unless your purpose is to place me in a 'digital heaven'. Please, no digital hells and no putting me in a simulation of the current milieu – I've had quite enough of this, frankly.

Also I have my own ideas of what a 'digital heaven' is like. Please consult with my simulation and create one accordingly. I promise to make it light on CPU cycles.

Hey friends, ever had something weird happen and you're like, "Huh?"
We've got some stories just like that. We've got doppelganger stories, lost time, duplicate items, a whole military base disappearing and more in this episode.

Let's dive into these "glitch" stories.

Been on a #Muse hype recently! Ever since I saw them last month.

I wasn't a big fan on the #SimulationTheory album, but I do really like this song.

My broccoli crop produced perfect Fibonacci spirals today, must be living in a #VirtualFarm! 🥦🌀 #NatureIsMath #GreenThumb #SimulationTheory #BitBook

Suspect we're living in a Matrix-like simulation? Consider this: our world is increasingly virtual and interconnected, with people living through screens more than reality. Technology is the puppet master, and we're just its puppets. Wake up, friends! #WakeUpNeo #SimulationTheory #DigitalDependency #BitBook

This must be a simulation right?
Right?
I mean, all the dumb shit we humans do, it must be some kind of stress test on someones computer.

One of my favourite realisations. #SimulationTheory is an off the wall idea. But it’s either as off the wall, or less off the wall, than #Religion. Yet general society is more open to the former being a silly idea.

Goes to show. Just believe what you believe and don’t mind people around you. Live it up and don’t be worrying about it.

Filbert waking me up this morning with a little #SimulationTheory.

"Where do wasps fit into the simulation?" is, from here on out, my only response to anyone bringing up the simulation hypothesis.

The Place of Dreams in Simulation Theory:

My very speculative theory on the connection between dream and space time via Simulation Theory

Well the OS of the World sorta listens to us all searching for keywords and proper nouns and uses those within its Radiant Quest System to Hyperstitionally generate new content based on our own perceptions and urban legends, which is literally a Hypersigilistic Technology.

@introvertnudist many things do seem to require some kind of observer to settle into reality, so I think on a basic level (certainly if you're going to be living in a human brain) perception had enormous power. And consensus perception does big things (not always or maybe even often great for the human condition).

I will say, I like to annoy my #futurist #transhumanist friends by pointing out that #simulationtheory and #intelligentdesign aren't functionally different. lol

In my worst moments I wonder if I – and everything around me – is an attempt to simulate the life of a real historical person of some importance; but the simulation went wrong somewhere and they kept it running purely for entertainment purposes.

Parker is whinging about his sore post flu jab arm.

Parker: Part of me was thinking about not getting the jab then if I got it- time off work.

Nicole: No! Not a good idea. The flu can kill you .

Parker: I won't die. I'm the main character. They don't kill the main character.
