That like being an old retired white male engineer must have some effect on the brain that is similar to like cannabis or alcohol or something.

Because those people, I'm pretty sure they're sober and they send me all sorts of wacky stuff all the time.

And it's not correct.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, I definitely get those.

I also get, you know, Einstein was wrong and complete fraud.

And here's why.

And I'm the only one who found it.

And I'm like Galileo.

I've been persecuted.

Right.

There's this there's this thing called the crackpot index.

online, which basically you assign more and more points to a crackpot email depending on what kinds of claims they make.

And I think the worst thing on that index that you can do is compare yourself to Galileo.

Right.

So so a couple of things there.

First of all, you'd still need to have rules, right?

Like, if it's a simulation in a computer like any computer we know, there's still rules that the simulation runs on, right?

And that means that there still has to be some internal logical coherence, right?

It can't contradict itself, even if it's weird.
