For the literalists out there, the $600 amount is actually irrelevant. The joke is that there would be an amount of money that won’t do anything truly life changing for you.

The disturbing part of this idea is that once humans create a computer similar enough to our own brain, it will just inherently be conscious. “Organic” or not.

Hadn’t really thought of it that way before. I’ve considered the possibility of an exterior source before but not that it might have something to do with sleep.

These days I’m more leaning to consciousness being the result of some convergence of our neural architecture.

It’s like asking the question of, “where’s the user environment of a computer?”

Well, it’s in the RAM… Except it’s also streaming through the CPU, oh also it’s on the monitor but that isn’t what it actually looks like, however it actually originates from the SSD.

None of these individual components matter in a truly meaningful way without all of them. It is the same with the brain, take out any part of it and effectiveness is diminished or outright bricked.

Considering how confusingly powerful the placebo effect is, learning how to safely activate it for the greatest effect is pretty close to real magic.

We basically run on tiny combustion engines. Exothermic reactions.

We aren’t a passive 98 degrees, we would be hotter if it wasn’t cool enough outside. Higher heat would cause different cellular structures to become misshapen, leading to system breakdown. I’d be like trying to run a cpu cooling loop with boiling water.

Yeah my motherboard is an old tomahawk b450 and its bios looks like “newer” version.

I hate to say it but maybe the newest bios is going to strip away some of the features and the better looking one is actually the old version? Perhaps to cut down on development costs because profits like always? I can only speculate.

His other works are great too.

I’ve heard accounts on multiple occasions, in person and not, of very young children having knowledge of things they shouldn’t, or very specific stories about how they died… One very fanciful sounding example was of a child being led to safety through dreadful environment by an apparition that later in life was revealed to be of a family member that hadn’t been born yet.

Even if only 1% of these stores are remotely true…

Something’s fucky about reality. Things aren’t as they seem. It’s right in front of us, I just know it. It just isn’t able to be comprehended past a faint feeling of confusion and unease.

No I don’t lose sleep thinking about these things! You do! Lol
