They're going to one source more complex than what they themselves are writing.

And you can actually trace this kind of going from, here's a math fix to, hey, everybody, we're living in a complete simulation, maybe run by aliens.

You can watch it in the headlines of these articles.

Right?

Exactly.

And I think, again, like for us novices, this can get a bit confusing because there are these technical ways in which we use everyday language, but when used in these specific ways, they mean very specific things.

And I know this is maybe a silly example, but sort of like if you think about positive and negative charge on a battery or an atoms or whatever, it has nothing to do with kind of like upbeat or downbeat, you know?

There's no kind of value-laden thing to that.

Now, if

Who knows?

You know what?

Maybe that is actually how electricity works.

You could probably fool me with it.

But yeah, you can totally see this kind of narrative drift.

And I think, you know, I just was like, I was doing some searches for this and I came across, this was a Wired magazine headline.

And you start to see how it's going from...

where it started, which was a pretty complex theoretical idea, too, and this is the headline here.

Theory claims to offer first evidence our universe is a hologram.

Everything you see and experience in 3D, including time, could be an illusion.

Now, even there, you can see it's clearly kind of clickbaity headline stuff, and then the article is maybe a bit more sophisticated.
