    This is because we have a Google home which is linked to my Spotify account.

    Cute story… this is an advertisement, even if it was not the author’s intent. I enjoy human connection and mawwiage as much as the next guy, but we can have a better story with post-google open source alternatives.

    “Will you be my Spotify Duo… til death do us part?” I texted her, over my Google Pixel 3 Watch

    sniffle “Of course my love. Nike, Just Do It™” she said, between sips of her new Folger’s dark mountain blend with new hazelnut flavor.

    “Based, fam” And then they Uber off into the sunset.

    You are both agreeing that the storm is bad yes, but you are communicating in a way that is generally assumptive and hurtful to an area of human beings who are affected by disaster

    It would be really very nice if you could hesitate blaming them for this unnatural disaster until after this guy (and others) can get the water out of their houses.







  • To claim that consciousness could be an illusion is a self-contradictory statement as consciousness is where illusions appear.

    This sounds a lot like the “did the chicken come before the egg or the other way around” God is defined as the progenitor of existence, but if something preceded or even paralleled God before existence, then that would have to be the real God instead, based on the ontological definition. That was confusing, but I only mention it because if you could have a “consciousness” which perceives another consciousness as illusory, (like one I could download into a machine) then your own “awareness” is just as relatively illusory as the first one.

    Like, the universe comes from God, and some would say that you can’t have one without the other. And our perception of the world stems from a consciousness, and some would say you can’t have one without the other. I just wanted to talk about the problems that arise when you form a recursive pattern with these foundational ideas. What is really behind consciousness? Can consciousness lie to you? Of course. Should you stop trusting your consciousness? Not completely, you would become a vegetable. Bed sores hurt.

    I’m just kinda rambling, but thank you for posting this stimulating topic. This consciousness appreciates it.
