Some physiologists will have it that the stomach is a mill;—others, that it is a fermenting vat;—others again that it is a stew-pan;—but in my view of the matter, it is neither a mill, a fermenting vat, nor a stew-pan—but a stomach, gentlemen, a stomach. -- William Hunter

This is pretty great. All four of those fit together so well. The wheel thing is called iteration. The word thing is like a predestination, like we’re all… cogs in a machine. The simulation is executing that code, iterating, on predestined variations, of interlocked parameters. Nicely done!

Oh man, I'd love to see something like this but for the brain as well. In Greece it was waterways (the humors), in the middle ages it was a pipe organ, in the Victorian era a steam engine, in the 60's a computer and now it's a neural net. So much of AI inevitability is mixing up the metaphor.

I dunno man, I think if I show this to my flat-earther cousin she'll just go, "yeah, that all sounds reasonable, those guys are right." But she also thinks that the queen of England is a still-alive spacetime vampire who has Tom Hanks send her sex-trafficked children for adrenochrome, so YMMV.

We can’t live in a simulation because the amount of energy to simulate it would be greater than that exists in the universe. And if we’re simulated by a universe of higher complexity, than there is no difference between sim or reality, because when spacetime was created in included all time too.
