The simple truth is that we are in a simulation , every  experiment points towards this, they are actually funding a  few expensive experiments to try to prove that we are inside  a computer. My theory is the programmers are running these  simulations to extract information , what that is, is hard  to understand. One thing is certain, this is a simulation ,  you are not physically real even your consciousness is  simulated. What's even stranger is that it's likely we are  imbedded in multiple simulations. Terence McKenna's trip  were he meets machine elves that are showing him objects  that produce more impossible objects that themselves produce  more objects and so on, seems to be an analogy of this. I  think he got into the control room and they were desperately  trying to explain this to him.

Brain in a vat ( or Cartesian theatre depending on yr view  point )
  Luv how science still has to completely the dodge the issue  that it can't get a fucking clue about consciousness.. And  it is absolutely at the ROOT/centre of everything  !E

i often thought not being visited by aliens yet could be a  solution to to the fermi paradox, we live in a simulation  and they didnt emulate all the extraneous stuff.
 
  consciousness is very interesting isnt it, you start to get  into the realms of philosophy when you start talking about  it, as science doesnt have an adequate framework to describe  it.

For us anyone... i don't understand how anyone can walk  around and think they have an 'objective' view on  anything.Science is a decent tool though.

it's finding things that haven't been put together before,  but fit. is there any reason to make it more complicated  than that? if not, ok, we're done. please
  let me know, mohamed.

terrence mckenna and the 2012 thing.
  that there were certain relevant peaks there -- a solar  maximum; research chemicals seemed rather popular. then it  was all about the turnover of the mayan calendar, wasn't it?  and meanwhile, the world has gone slightly rancid, but it  certainly hasn't ended -- not that i can tell, anyways.  instead it was more like "the number one song is diamonds by  rihanna" and actually, that one's better than most. doesn't  feel over at all really
 
  my initial thot -- back in 2012, actually -- maybe that's  just as far as he could see; the end of his vision. that  this was projection, of sorts, more really the end for his  relevancy.
 
  in the back of my mind, though, there was a nagging voice:  but terrence mckenna was such a troll; this very well might  be a troll
 
  but that doesn't mean it ain't for our own good, etc etc  even if it is... a troll.
 
  i was thinking about this all again just now, and... oh... i  think it is, sort of, actually. perhaps finding the mayan  calendar stuff and thinking: this is a great framework to  hijack
 
  that i'll cite this brill read about Nikki Finke. and,  well, never mind the rest for now, just this quote:
 
  “I was saying that I had gotten this great tip and  that I had a really reputable first source but not a  second,” Ms. Kuczynski said. “And she basically said you  call five people, plant a seed in their brain and wait a day  for someone else to have heard it.”
 
  if you convince enough people 12/12/12 is some sort of  cosmic nexus event, well... at least you've planned a  record-breakingly large party in advance. that i figure he  was like, "there are a few arcs that collide here; something  really might happen then! it'd be funny if i was actually  right and something did go down"

i wasn't creative enough to glue together consciousness  and programming on my own, but i did it by accident quite a  few times. then someone else did it for me, and i felt a bit  jealous thought of it and i hadn't. then i realized i still  had things to add. inventing the jet engine was quite a  thing, but to get it into planes all over the world took a  lot of thought and creativity as well. he built the  prototype and i'm working on a production model. my role is  more about gluing together the smaller sub-parts, and i see  it as mine simply have the right sort of background and i'm  not seeing anyone else stepping up. maybe that's just  because it's sheer lunacy.
 
  the trampoline is working
  "The Eagle may soar, but the weasel never gets sucked  into the jet engine."
