Unfortunately, what it’s likely going to take, just as it has with past civilizations, is complete collapse.

Our descendants will hopefully build something better in the rubble we leave behind.

They’re explicitly trying to get them killed.

And at some point they’re going to succeed.

I’ve been looking forward to this actually.

As far as I’m concerned, automatically avoiding Reddit just by avoiding Google (which I already do) is a welcome bonus.

Well, like, to me, my thing is… a video image is much more powerful and useful than an actual event.

Like back when I used to go out, when I was last out, I was walking down the street and this guy came barrelling out of a bar - fell right in front of me and he had a knife right in his back - landed right on the ground.

And I have no reference to it now. I can’t refer back to it. I can’t press rewind. I can’t put it on pause. I can’t put it on slo-mo and see all the little details.

And the blood, it was all wrong. It didn’t look like blood. The hue was off and I couldn’t adjust the hue. I was seeing it for real, but it just wasn’t right.
