So very much to unpack here, I’m afraid I found the whole discussion a bit overwhelming. Epistemology, string theory, multiverses, a hint of Platonism, Covidianism, fascism...

I agree with the point that we are living in a time where most people have no foundation, and are latching onto the current thing to ride with the herd. It’s a dangerous place for a society and a civilization. Philosophy is the key and foundation for all that follows. Without a solid philosophical foundation, we are just stumbling toward the abyss.

Thanks for the feedback. This was in many ways a bit of a beta test for us, and the feedback is important.

My preference- scale it back a bit, go more in-depth on a single relatable topic. Your views are worthwhile, let them shine.

PS- transcript reader, not a podcast listener. Not verbally inclined.

I had such a fun time doing this and can't wait to do it again! What do your readers what to hear us talk about next?

Did the turnip truck drive by near here? 🤣

Actually, previous sims would help explain why there is evidence of previous nuclear explosions on Earth, abandoned or now underwater cities, aliens, etc.

We can all benefit from making better choices for just ourselves. Damn the NWO for making the choices for all.

Thank you for the brain fodder today.

AisforApril. Good God, I feel like I’m in a time warp and I know I’m not 7 of Nine. The only thing I understood was your crack about the turnip truck which, by the way, I just fell off…….I’m out.

Damn, SComm, I missed the theme of your entire subs. For AI, can it predict what people who are off, very much off, do, think? By people who are off, I'm referring tome... I am horrified at what I do, say, think... Very unpredictable to me.

I don't believe I've ever actually written about simulation theory on this 'Stack, so it would have been super easy to miss. I have to convince people I'm sane before diving into that with them. ;)

Dive. I love that stuff!

Btw, you have 1 like...From me. You don't like you're own posts? Why people don't do this beyond me. I do it, and brag about it. Incensed people.

When I see a small number of likes, I assume that the Substack 'like' button isn't working for some people. Better than crying myself to sleep!

No, you just posted it. That's not what I was saying.

You had 1 like... I deduced it wasn't yours.

You are one of best... And I am brilliant judge, (as Marik said, I'm humble but this isn't time for humility. I'm using it!

It would be esp SW because you're name would come up as author. Sweet

You got me! As we kinda get each other, I think you're strategy smart

The uploading here was a little wonky, so let me know if you can't see/hear the audio if you're a free subscriber. I think I got it but can't confirm for sure.
