  • When people had analogue technology (radio/phonograph) there was no solid concept of the universe being a simulation.

    Once digital technology arrives(computers/smartphones)… “hey, did you hear? We are living inside a computer simulation”.

    This philosophical jump is due to thought and interactions being shifted to digital/online modes rather than face to face or analogue modes.

    Those who predominantly have personal interactions, more than digital interactions, I doubt would feel anything like a simulation occuring.

    There is much to be gained from a balance of the two.


  • Immediately after the UK anti-war protests, I remember seeing how shaky Tony Blair was in a sabre-rattling speech (The same day or a day after), knowing that 1million people had hit the streets to disagree with what he was saying.

    So they are acknowledged by politicians.

    Policy on the looming war did not change, due to back-scratching alliances between the countries involved. The USA was shouting ‘jump’. The result, Allies: ‘how high’.
