This Guy Does NOT Understand Interstellar Currency
So, you have a choice, either you stare endlessly at the mirror at 3 a.m and wonder why the fuck you exist. Or, instead, actively supress the self awarness thoughts, get a job, get married, be normal. At the face of it, it doesn’t seem like much of a difficult decision to make. Or is it? Why complicate things? Why the excessive thinking process, you’re gonna deep fry your frontal lobes, be careful, the interdimensional aliens are watching you tryna break the simulation.
Look at you, all grown up and well adjusted. You made friends, solid relationships to feel less lonely, and hopefully, maybe, one day, meet your ‘soulmate’, and marry them so that you’d feel a little bit less lonlier than you did before. So is this what life is all about? A process of seeking external validation in order to run away from having to ask tough questions? If we live in a simulation, I must say; the graphics are fucking great, but I think the absurdity parameters are way bigger than they should be.
As I struggled to talk to my barber about “insert some garbage societal problem”, I found myself simultaneously thinking of ways to clear corners more efficiently as I played CS, because soon enough, I might actually find myself in a WW3 battlefield doing it IRL. Of course, I do care about the price of potatoes in the local legumes market. I also care about ‘random decision X’ the 70 year old baby boomers made to give the 50 million morons living in this land the illusion of them combatting against “Bad thing Y”. I also care about the local social dynamics, Who got in jail for scandelous “Reason X”, and who got married to person number “38256”. I didn’t rule out the possibilty that I might have a brain defect everytime my brain goes to what I call “absurdity mode”. It’s when everything seems funny, not because you’re forcing it, nor because you’re high. Instead, It’s the raw, 4k great graphics reality that is playing the comedy, objectively speaking, you know, as they say “It’s funny because it’s true”. No one gives us better comedic content than reality itself, I’m willing to bet anyone on that.
Like when the “Zigerians” tried to scam Rick into giving them the recipe for dark matter by luring him into a badly constructed simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation where Rick’s neighbour was a bread toaster that lived inside a bread toaster and drove a bread toaster to work (Or was it a piece of bread that lived and drove a bread toaster? I’m not sure, idgaf). That’s how I feel ever since I gained enough brain mass to see myself from the 2nd person’s view.
Yes, I tried finding a purpose, I tried playing ‘doctor’, I tried being nice, I tried making friends, I tried drugs, I tried religion, I even tried therapy. Did it work? Yes it id, I am so fucking happy and glad I exist in this reality, obviously you can’t tell unless you saw my face at this moment, but I can assure you, I’m like this :0). What’s there not to like in a world where every Instagram NPC influencer is trying to influence other NPCs into influencing each other.
I fucking hate AI generated pictures, and videos. Not as much as I hate real people, but still, quite a lot. I’m not a pessimist by any means, but It feels like we’re heading into a world that is increasingly more surreal, strange. For instance, think about the following example; There exist actual human beings out there today, who wake up with the sole purpose of minning collective attention from people, and they will do ANYTHING in order to reach that goal. They set themselves on fire, they wear idiotic clothes, commit acts of what was used to be called “Insanity” just to get the dopamine rush of a couple million views. That makes me think of the breadtoaster thing again. Fate loves irony, or is it that our brains love irony and selectively delete everything else which ends up creating the illusion of dominant irony all over our experience? idgaf either. But It’s interesting to get a chair, sit, light a cigarette and think about the mass mania around. Everything is a trend, everything is judged, instantly, all over the world. Everything is absurd, and because it is so, it grips on people’s minds easily. I once had way too much THC and when I closed my eyes, I saw a Banana riding a Canoe. The scene stuck with me because it was hilarious and again, absurd. In short, I get why a guy jumping in a mini plastic jacuzi wearing his ‘impermeable’ jacket would get millions of views.
