The easiest way to solve this existential question is to ask another.
“If true, what about my life actually changes?”
The answer is of course. Nothing. Your form of existence hardly matters, whether made from atoms and DNA or Hard Data, you are real and your thoughts and feelings matter. All that changes is that you are distantly aware that the universe is powered artificially.
Huh.
You know, I was aware about how fucking stupid and awful things are but it never once occurred to me that yes Trump and his yes men are in office and they do have access to nukes.
Like yeah. I knew that, that’s obvious. But it never once occurred to me that thier use would ever be in play. I never thought anyone, no matter how stupid and depraved would use them.
I’m not surprised. But at the same time. I am.
