Right. That's that's a that's where a fun meme is. There's a fun meme that someone made about how you're telling me that he's going to do these things that he didn't when he was in office. And you're telling me that you're going to do these things that you didn't do and you're in office now.

Yeah. And they're weaponizing the courts over what was a misdemeanor with that's already. If you look at the like Bill Ackman had a post that he made on Twitter laying out the legality of this 34 count thing that they convicted him of. that this is essentially an accounting error or deception that's a misdemeanor that is past the statute of limitations.

And very dangerous because you've set a precedent now. Now, let's imagine like we've gone through shifts in this country where we leaned heavily left, like during the Carter administration was run by serious lefty. And then what if now it is run by a hardcore right-winger? What if there's some sort of an attack on American soil and it ramps up patriotism and people get real angry?

Just like the left has moved so far left that if you're not in favor of hormone blockers for kids, somehow you're transphobic and you're a bigot. Like somehow or another, if you're not in favor of that, you're a bigot. What if it gets so right? that if you're not in favor of stops and frisks all over the country for everyone, then somehow or another you're anti-safety of the nation.

And if you're not in favor of no-knock raids on people's homes with no warrants, then somehow or another you're a danger to our democracy. It can go really creepy far right, just like it's really creepy far left, and then they're utilizing the court's

If they fill the courts up with a bunch of hardcore Republicans, now you're utilizing the courts against people in a way that you would find very offensive because you've made it – you set a precedent.

Why do you think the multiverse is bullshit?

But isn't existence itself insane? The universe itself is insane. Subatomic particles are insane. Going all the way out to solar nurseries, it's all insane. The whole thing's insane. It's insane in scope. It's insane in size. It's insane in its complexity. It's almost incomprehensible. Almost incomprehensible.

So why would it be more incomprehensible if there was infinite variety and infinite numbers of them? It would just be a different level of crazy that we weren't aware of.

I think it's literally impossible. We just look at it as a number. It's a small number, actually. You look at it, oh, like what's the most recent, the James Webb Telescope, the most recent advanced versions of it, they're talking about 22 billion plus years for the Big Bang.

They're looking at that now because of the structure of some galaxies that shouldn't exist in the time period of which they would have to... be formed in a certain amount of years. And so it's very contentious, but there's some of these people studying the results that seem to believe it's quite possible that you might want to push that date back for whatever the Big Bang is. Right. Okay.

And then there's Sir Roger Penrose who thinks it's like a constant cycle.

Right.

i don't know about that i don't i don't think that's necessarily true because just because we haven't solved the problem of this immense thing that's impossible to grasp it doesn't mean it can't be way bigger than we even imagine in a concept that's impossible to grasp And there's got to be some reason why so many people are entertaining this multiverse theory.

I think it sounds like the universe, though. I don't think the universe necessarily sounds like nature. Nature is what we see here. But what we see everywhere is so bizarre. Black holes are so bizarre. Supernovas, they're so fucking bizarre.

The fact that there's a giant black hole in the center of every galaxy that's one half of 1% of the mass of the galaxy, and there might be another universe inside of that thing.

Well, the existence of the black hole, but the concept of a black hole being essentially a portal into another universe where there's hundreds of billions of galaxies, each one with a black hole in the center of them. You go through each one of those, you have hundreds of billions of galaxies, each one with a black hole in the center of it. And you just keep doing that forever and ever and ever.

Isn't that kind of the multiverse? Well, let's put it this way.

You think AI can't get a grasp on this in a better way?
