In The Big Lebowski, the dude is buying some cream for his white russians. He is so broke that he post-dates his check a year out. The date he picks is September 11th, 1991, which is exactly ten years before 9/11.

While he's doing this, he looks up at the TV.

What do you know, it's George Bush. (The date this footage aired is what tells you the check is postdated a year out)

The Big Lebowski released in 1998. Bush knocked down the towers, it goes as far back as Bush Sr., and the Cohen bros knew about it

The universe is winking at you. Are you gonna buy her a drink?

God is real. He is risen.

I still think it was a bitch move to not rebuild the last two towers.

Yeah but now we have a giant Tesla coil that can fry all of New York if it comes to that.

idk I think the new one looks cooler, and they winked at people like you with the design, bottom is one tower and top is the second tower rotated 45'

Speaking of Predictive Programming, did you see the Snake Eyes Charlike Kirk connection? That one was cool.

Those have to be bugs in the AI LLM generated universe, right? Or are they just coinkidinks.

Hah, I hadn't seen that. Very cool.

Part of me thinks, if you take the entirety of the vast collection of fiction our society has produced, and then you take all the uncountable meaningful events of the past 50 years or so, statistically, there will surely be connections that appear meaningful. This part of me recognizes that the appearance of meaning is almost certainly the result of the many cognitive biases innate to the human mind.

The other part of me thinks, stacking Bush, 9/11, AND an obscure internet forum for an emulated 90's game where Bush/towers are a meme, basically 3 axes deep in synchronicity....... well that overlap of meaning can't be that statistically likely, especially when the movie was made before 9/11. This part wants to believe that some abstraction of the human concept of meaning is somehow a part of the fabric of the universe, and because time is not linear, sometimes we see retrocausality; something dancing with itself forwards and backwards in the infinite causal chain.

Those two parts of me hate each other, and the result is schizo-posting.

When that train derailed in Palistine Ohio, I was like lol the simulation is bugging out again, it's supposed to be creating a disaster in Palistine (it did).

It feels like the kind of mistakes youd see in a LLM generated universe.

Who says it was a mistake? Coulda been the universe's way of sending tea leaves to some 19 year old college punk oracle on an epic mushroom trip, who then saw the whole thing coming.
