Just A Puppet That Sees The Strings.

“So long as we can be made to think that death is a bad thing we can be ruled”- Alan Watts. It’s the end of the world—as we know it. Not in an Armageddon sense, but, everything will be different from now on. What we are experiencing is a social experiment, thats demonstrating just how easily the entire world’s population can be corralled and herded into a panic using smart phones and mass media. Stay conscious my friends.

Multiple incarnations into the same life.

They say life imitates art, but what if life was a futuristic, multidimensional, quantum art form. What if your higher-self incarnates multiple times into the same life, each death a draft or sketch or layer, building up to a perfectly imperfect masterpiece of a life?

...conscious in a Westworld sort of way

Imagine that free will is an illusion, that everything you’re experiencing has already been pre-scripted and you’re just the consciousness experiencing it and if you make your self aware, you start paying attention, you start seeing where the people who created you are taking artistic license with your story. What would you do in that situation? How would you try to drive the story?

Your Death Date.

What would you do if you knew the day you were going to die?

A sort of feedback loop through time.

If time is relative then perhaps not everyone experiences time chronologically. What if some people can somehow communicate with future versions of themselves. What if your future self can affect your present behaviour? This episode was created literally in the midst of such an even happening to me. It was just as trippy recording it as it will be listening to it. And I’m still slightly tripped out.

T.V and The Illusion of Free Will

WW3

War is an archaic institution that is a product of primitive times and we as a race should’ve evolved from this practice a long time ago. The year JUST started! Can we at least have some time to our Christmas trees away before attempting to drag us into WW3?!

Dr Manhattan’s Achilles Heel.

Just finished watching WATCHMAN Season 1, Episode 7. While watching it, it dawned on me that Dr Manhattan, the big blue god, suffers from the same weakness that plagues the rest of us: a lack of free will...

Scurvy, Cancer and Weed.

Resilient was the word I was looking for. Talking about scurvy, a stupid cure for cancer and overdosing on THC.
