#12....No.

it was a 'Fight Club' reference. Well done Sentinel.

Regarding simulation theory.. if it's true then I imagine the simulation engine isn't remotely similar to what we're on the verge of accomplishing with the metaverse/VR.. but this reality is real enough, and we're bound to it.. so does it really matter? I still need to get up and go to work every day.

regarding VR being a real reality.. to some degree. I've been looking into this lately and reading the book Snow Crash, who's author originally coined the term "metaverse". I do look forward to having a virtual coffee with some long lost high school friend.. or having virtual business meetings every bit as good as being in person, and not having to take the 6am to Denver.

Regarding Ebert's story.. I've done a fair amount of psychedelics as an adult. Not the drop acid and go to a festival experience, but the lay in a dark room for hours with a blindfold on kind of experience. You get to a similar place as described by Mr. Ebert. Feeling this is all an illusion, and there is some other real place that we exist in.. and this is just a projection from that place. Which begs the question if Mr. Ebert in his final days, was hallucinating.. a result of being on death's door, or whatever medication he was on.

Certainly still a question as to whether the experience is real or just a short circuiting of our brain hardware.

People died.. this was a total fail of those agencies, that none of them show'd up or intervened (until after (to collect evidence?)

If she was black, the cops would have shot her.

FTA: Perry in 2015 described the candidacy of then-rival Trump as "a cancer on conservatism" that "will destroy a set of principles."

I don't get it how someone can go from such one extreme to another.

An anti-vaxx "friend" of my wife's sent over a few links siting articles from the Children's Health Defense site.. Says she keeps an open mind, just doing her "research". Just found out that Russel Brand, who I used to like is also an outspoken covidiot. The far left and far right are uniting in stupidity.. god help us!

Does anyone question the credibility of this pilot and if being truthful about never seeing anything inappropriate? Seems like he might be doing a bit of CYA, if he was aware of underage girls being transported with powerful men, and the possible implications, and didn't take measures?
