Simulation theory.

It's like every few months developments happen that makes it even harder to ignore.

Ooh, care to link to any of your favorite things? I love simulation theory.

I have a few links in the community [email protected]

But for me personally it's the thing I mention in this comment that's most compelling. It just seems really unlikely that our world lore has something so ancient that's also so specifically discussing things tied to the emerging picture of tech. It's almost to the point of being heavy handed.

Interesting!! Do you have a link to the historic text?

[–] kromem 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I link the text, the cataloging of the later beliefs of the group following it in antiquity, and a philosophical text very useful in figuring out what it's talking about here.

Thanks! Dealing with a pretty horrible abscessed tooth right now (fucking glitches in the sim!), so I'll read later. Thanks again!

Good luck with the tooth!!
