How did I not notice this before? 🤔
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Former NASA Scientist Doing Experiment to Prove We Live in a Simulation
What if there was a way to find out once and for all if we're living inside a computer?
A former NASA physicist named Thomas Campbell has taken it upon himself to do just that. He devised several experiments, as detailed in a 2017 paper published in the journal The International Journal of Quantum Foundations, designed to detect if something is rendering the world around us like a video game.
Now, scientists at the California State Polytechnic University (CalPoly) have gotten started on the first experiment, putting Campbell's far-fetched hypothesis to the test.
And Campbell has set up an entire non-profit called Center for the Unification of Science and Consciousness (CUSAC) to fund these endeavors. The experiments are "expected to provide strong scientific evidence that we live in a computer-simulated virtual reality," according to a press release by the group.
Campbell's experiments include a new spin on the double-slit experiment, a physics demonstration designed to show how light and matter can act like both waves and particles.
Campbell believes that by removing the observer from these experiments, the actual recorded information never existed in the first place. That's instead of current quantum physics suggesting the existence of entanglement that links particles across a distance.
In simple terms, without a player, the universe around them doesn't exist, much like a video game — proof, in Campbell's thinking, that the universe is exclusively "participatory."

If it is a simulation, what are we supposed to do about it?

MAGA pundits claim CIA behind viral "weird" meme trend
The MAGA party thinks it has the exclusive right to mock the opposition. And they are so triggered at being called "weird" for promoting their racist, misogynistic, manosphere-influenced, QAnon-flavored, machine-gun-toting-Jesus-loving, incel-worshipping, Jewish-space-laser-believing, Pizzagate-conspiracy-spreading worldview that they are convinced the CIA is behind it.
Using Elon Musk's favorite dehumanizing nickname for anyone who disagrees with him, MAGA pundits say the CIA has brainwashed "NPCs" (non-player characters, i.e. characters in video games not controlled by human players) into calling the patriotic sociopaths of the right wing "weird."

There are no patriotic sociopaths in the reich wing - that's the problem. They're full on anti-american now. Our system is capable of absorbing alot of stress, as history demonstrates..what it absolutely can't handle is being coopted by folks who think it shouldn't exist. If they were still patriots I'd give them that, at least. Bastards, but our bastards.
They're not. They believe america is a failure, and they seem intent to make it so, to spite themselves but mostly brown folks...if it's not.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Fascists and other similar trash love to feel oppressed by shadowy forces. Only thing that surprises me there is that they blame CIA instead of Illuminati or Jews masquerading as lizardmen (or lizardmen masquerading as Jews).
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
