Idk wtf this is but I just saw it so now you have too.

I said it’s possible not going to be. Likely? I think so. By simulation I don’t mean completely detached from your current reality (for starters). We don’t need to go full matrix but I think that’s where things will trend to.

As a result of this we could see complete societal collapse as there might be insufficient population levels to keep up growth.

Our brain already partially allows something similar without a device. This is a weird factoid i learned a few weeks ago but look at an object and imagine what it would feel like on your tongue. You’ll know almost immediately.

What makes something worth living? If you can’t tell the reality, does it even matter? You could be living this dreadful existence right now and not know it.

The pleasures of life come from overcoming struggle. If you can just plug into a machine and get whatever you desire, as illusory as it is, that's not an existence worth living.

Why?

In a not-so-distant future you will likely render your own reality and see / hear / taste what you want to without it actually being there.

With an external device that alters your brain signals, it’ll be as easy as putting on EarPods.

Gloomy but want to see sunlight? You got it. Want to see someone nude? Think it and it’ll happen. Only have pizza but feel like eating steak? Think it and your mind turns it into steak.

It sounds crazy but I think this may become a reality. It may take several iterations of a neuralink or some competitor.

It’ll be a toy at first, but as things improve continuously, it’ll be difficult to tell what is reality.

What is this?

When I'm not being bothered by requests, yes.

I probably get 4-5 work days a month where I can just hyperfocus and code. Love those days.

Do you get into "the zone" often in your work?

Like the real zone, that deep focus where you just crank out quality work?

I only get it a few times per month, not sure how to consistently get there.

Institutions will never protect our rights - they are too easily corrupted.

We must defend them ourselves - open source tools that empower individuals are the only real path forward.

This is 2015.

Absolutely convinced.

Diminishing returns ideology is gonna fuck everyone over the next four years. It's not that easy.

Love that 🤙
