What are you doing right now?

You'd think @Pablo would buy me a pair after soaking me on Amsoil

I've posted this before, but: Say three Hail Mobils and five Our Filters. You are forgiven. Go in peace.

I think I'll wear them for 3 weeks and return them...

Simulation theory as articulated by Nick Bostrom and popularized by figures like Elon Musk argues we're likely living in a computational simulation.

Dudes need to stop getting high, lol.

I could have bought a quart of Amsoil instead but would have to pay shipping

I'm time traveling in the simulation watching the Long Beach Grand Prix LIVE! Nick Bostrom must be on to something because it's 7:25 PM here, but the race ends around 5 PM in California. Wow. Time traveling.

Stop setting your shoes on fire.

Yeah cause they are $15.97

Seems weird until you have someone applying the scientific method, as best as possible to people, mostly children, who can recall past lives:

"Dr. Ian Stevenson (1918-2007) at the University of Virginia. He spent 40+ years as a psychiatrist and researcher systematically documenting over 3,000 cases of children who claimed to remember previous lives. His methodology was rigorous by parapsychology standards — he would travel to families, interview children before they could have been exposed to information about the deceased person they claimed to be, verify specific details they couldn't have known, and document birthmarks or physical anomalies that corresponded to wounds on the deceased. His landmark work was called Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation."

The idea is that the memory from a previous incarnation was not fully formatted or whatever before re-spawning. There is also an average of 4-5 years between your previous life and DOB.

Weird science, but I'd say more scientific than most religions, not to minimize them or anything.

edit: I have a friend who has weird recollections of dying in Vietnam. He's very anti-woo woo stuff, but this he talked about.

Evidence.... $15.97.....
Now broke

Well, the Buddhists and some Coptic Christians explained the "respawn" a couple thousand years ago. We don't need no egghead computer geeks.

I'm converting to a Coptic Buddhist right now.

It's Sunday evening so...more laundry.

 

[CleanSump]

Thinking about making a Walmart run to get some inexpensive outlets and wall plates at 1/5 the price at the Depot.
I will avoid the oil filter aisle and shoe department, so I guess I won't be posting pics tonight.

Avoid the oil aisle too...I bought all the Quaker State Ultimate Protection this morning

There's a difference between reincarnation and "living in a computational simulation" like in the "Matrix" and getting rebooted at some point into another computational simulation. I think reincarnation is possible, but we aren't all just a bunch of 1s and 0s inside some "computer simulation" in cyberspace. Dudes watched the Matrix too many times while stoned.

We’re all brains on a shelf!!!

A group of us in grade 12 in 1995 went on a tour of the University of Victoria. We ended up in a philosophy class and the prof was discussing the idea of everyone simply existing as a brain on a shelf…at length.

We all fell asleep, including the guy giving us the tour!

 

[Patman]

Today is the first of three training days that I’m doing for a couple of new tour guides we have for our Niagara Falls tours. I wish the weather was nicer though, it’s below freezing right now and only going slightly above freezing this afternoon. At least the sun is out though.
