I love conspiracy theories as much as the next bloke, and numerology always leads to fun stuff, but those are some pretty specific coincidences.Sometimes I read things and think this can't be real. Yesterday I read Twitter post that blew my mind and made me question if we're living in a simulation.
Here's Threader link if you want to read it in non-Tweet form.

Are you unaware of the "significance" of 69 & 420?A bunch of random numbers add up to 69? And this is proof of... The author thinks there is a 420 in there. I can pull a bunch of numbers to mean anything. Christians do this all the time. How the number of passages in the bible are equal to some date, and its on this date Jesus will return. It never happens btw. I do think our perception of the world is colored by our life experiences, culture, family, etc.
I really hope we live in a simulation. The current state of the world is too horrible. I feel like we'll end up in some sort of Mad Max, post-apocalyptic setting in 100-150 years.
100-150 years definitely puts it in the SEP field.I really hope we live in a simulation. The current state of the world is too horrible. I feel like we'll end up in some sort of Mad Max, post-apocalyptic setting in 100-150 years.
Isn't humanity living in the most prosperous, least killing period of its history?I really hope we live in a simulation. The current state of the world is too horrible. I feel like we'll end up in some sort of Mad Max, post-apocalyptic setting in 100-150 years.
Depends on whether you're counting future deaths from current inaction, I suppose.Isn't humanity living in the most prosperous, least killing period of its history?
SEP?100-150 years definitely puts it in the SEP field.
I believe you are correct. But once landmasses start shrinking due to coastal flooding from climate change, and limited fresh water access becomes a thing, I think that's when it's gonna get real ugly.Isn't humanity living in the most prosperous, least killing period of its history?

I actually don't expect anything too crazy to happen before I die (one way or there other), unless we get a huge technological revolution. So 2020-2070 doesn't worry me so much as 2070-2120 or 2170.

I feel complete opposite. I think the world is amazing and our rate of technological progress is on exponential curve. It's truly exciting time to be alive. My only sorrow is I will die too soon without seeing all the great things that we previously thought only possible and existed solely in sci-fi books and movies. I couldn't be more excited for the future. We're laying the foundation to become multi planetary species and have robot workforce. We're only getting started.I really hope we live in a simulation.

Yes, from climate change.My only sorrow is I will die too soon

I feel good about climate change because I think we've now passed the point of no return in regards to acceptance of renewables and the world is moving towards sustainable energy. The dream I had about everyone being their own utility with solar and batteries and people driving EV are now becoming reality. There's tremendous amount of work still to be done and it will take decades but I'm now more certain than ever this is the path we're headed and nothing can stop us now. So I won't die from climate change. I'll die from natural old age, disease/illness, or unfortunate accident.Yes, from climate change.
Elon has done more to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy than anyone. He's saving our beautiful planet through his companies despite people like you demonizing him for profiting off his work. Make your own money and spend it how you wish instead of trying to tell others how they should spend theirs. And don't try to steal their money.I find the enthusiasm about going to extremely un-inhabitable planets (primarily so rich guys can show off and others can get rich off of them) - using insane amounts of energy and resources that would take many many times more the resources than it would to saving the beautiful planet we already have and making the lives of the people on it now much better to be sad and delusional.
I've never demonized him for making money ever. Not once. In fact I've said I think he should be a very very rich guy. I've praised his other companies for the products they produce, though not necessarily how they treat their employees. And I've criticized him for being a hypocrite about governments and politics, and I backed that up. But never for being extremely rich and never for working on solar or satellite internet, etc...I feel good about climate change because I think we've now passed the point of no return and the world is moving towards sustainable energy.

As someone who grew up reading sci-fi in the 80s & 90s, I'm personally wounded by this.The living on Mars thing is a dream for people with massive egos or that want to make money. Not for people that truly care about the human species.
