23 yrs ago, futurist philosopher Nick Bostrom exploded the psyches of tech bros when he proposed that we all may be living in a computer simulation.

Now, Bostrom has a dire warning:
"People will look back on 2025 and shudder in horror." (No s**t. 😒)

Reason: #SuperAI

Exactly that. Toying with us like the dummies we are, constantly pushing the limits of his lab rat experiments. It's a kooky way my mind uses to try to make sense of a world with a trillionaire Musk, hourly injustices that multiply in horrors every yr, & inequities so glaring that they can't be real

You'll laugh, but a tiny part of me is starting to wonder if, really, we are in some global simulation game, plugging up to a matrix, as people were hypothesizing during the COVID lockdowns.

Everything for the last few yrs feels like parts of a bad dream, an endless nightmare I can't escape.

So, does this mean that Ted Cruz voted No on hemp criminalization? His name isn't on the list (Cornyn's is, tho), and, frankly, I'm surprised.

@goodport.bsky.social, thought of you upon reading this.

@melkleingraz.bsky.social, isn't Twin Pinks one of your favourite shows? If so, you may want to follow Sean.

All of this, yes! I'll scream it to the heavens alongside you.

Thank you, yes! All of that!

I feel like I'm losing my mind in terms of how crazy & insane their decision is. It's like a Twilight Zone episode where everything is a house of distorted mirrors. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first read the news.

Glad I'm not alone. (Also, separately and OT, your husband sounds great.)

I don't think I have a Dem senator anywhere close to me. :/

There's no bloody point calling my actual senator. (Ted Cruz.)

I just can't wrap my head around what the Dems are doing. I feel like baying at the moon in fury.
