Why do you think they are doing stem cell research and taking MRIs of every brain they can? Then cramming as many transistors on a chip full of algorithms to simulate an actual analog brain they can then stimulate and access through an entirely digital layer.

Inside that thing is a little kid running through an endless procedural maze full of fire, lightning, monsters and little candies. At the end of the endless maze the child believes in the loving embrace of their mother and G-d.

May as well just accept it.

Eventually the body will die. Even robot ones. And the maze will end. And Bhudda is there to walk with you and G-d will be there truly and finally with G-d's loving embrace.

I wonder how many amazing technologies dont exist, because like the Einstein that would have figured them out got hit by a bus.

Like, it's kind of crazy to think that randomly 40 years ago someone could have invented fusion, just like randomly 80 years ago someone invented a nuke.

I wonder like, how much of a species evolutionary destiny, is driven by pure random luck like that.

Like, if we had invented fusion 40 years ago, what would life be like today? maybe there'd be no conflicts, maybe there would be new ones, either way, the species that we would be evolving to become, would be drastically different than the one we are today.

So if one day, someone is like, "look put your brain in this box and you live forever"

Its fucked to think that, like, had a butterfly flapped his wings on a Tuesday 70 years earlier, this box wouldn't exist, and instead, something MUCH BETTER would.. and you should not put your brain in this shitty persons box.

Like, what a trip, our entire destiny is either by luck or design, but nothing in between.

crazy, and painful for me to think about drives me nuts!

There will always be conflict. The nature of life includes suffering.

There is a world out there with a different destiny.

Peace of mind comes from within.

It's just interseting how like, we build the narrative that we base our morality on based on which way a pebble falls.

An entire species, an entire planets history, is based off like, a decision a guy made who wasn't killed that day because a bus driver stopped at a red light instead of drove through it.

I wonder where we'd be today if Einstein died in the crib.

No one has even come close to him.

Where could we be had Westinghouse not crushed tesla?

yeah, but it's crazy, could we have like, realy well designed holo displays had the winklevoss twins beat up and humiliated zuk and he went off to work at subway as an executive there instead?

Like it's crazy to me how individuals have such a huge effect on humanity but if you get rid of some, then nothinglike them has ever existed elsewhere.

Would we even have the theory of relativity today without Einstein?

or would we be like, as blind about it as we are the whole dark matter thing? Or origin of the universe still?

Powerball odds: 1 in 229 million
CERN is wrong odds: 1 in 1 3.5 million (apparently)

Quote:
Compare the odds of winning the powerball with the chance a 5-sigma science experiment result is wrong

The odds of winning the Powerball lottery are approximately 1 in 292 million. The chance of a 5-sigma science experiment result being wrong is extremely low, estimated to be around 1 in 3.5 million. So the chance of winning the Powerball is much higher than the chance of a 5-sigma science experiment result being incorrect.

That is interesting.

Knowing all possibilities would be leet.

Maybe we are a part of a system doing just that.
