Borealism

Two physicists walk into an interview about time, entropy, and the inherent problem with ignoring the critical nonsense of our world

“That’s what fiction is about, isn’t it, the selective transforming of reality? The twisting of it to bring out its essence?”

"This is not sci-fi and fiction, this is quite real.  Although it seems our bodies and everything around us are made of strong and real matter, all of this condensed ‘matter’ is made of atoms that are pure energy with particular frequencies.  Our studies have found that our physiology and behavior are highly sensitive to exposures to natural solar activity-driven magnetic and electromagnetic radiation."

“Consciousness is the agency that collapses the wave of a quantum object, which exists in potentia, making it an immanent particle in the world of manifestation.”

"Your consciousness is then running another version of the simulation, and so on, for every conscious observer in the universe. Insofar as all of our simulations are networked together, we observe what appears to be a single, inter-subjective world we all experience together: ‘the Universe.’"

"This all seems like the product of an ADHD culture that fetishizes the accumulation of exotic and thrilling experiences"

"What Jung discovered in the writings of ancient and medieval alchemists was a goldmine of psychological projections … He was mining alchemical texts for the psychological gold hidden in their strange symbols and formulas."

"I believe human beings have an intrinsic desire to explore. It goes against our basic evolution to be sedentary, live indoors and be removed from nature" 

"Perhaps the Being simulating our world is only interested in it as long as we don’t know it’s simulated. So, as soon as we do… *plug pulled.*"

"Here’s what I’ve come to realize: we may be hard to find in space and time, but we are very much an integral part of a wonderful whole."

"The sky is a brilliant dark blue above me and crisp bright blue towards the horizon. People are commuting into work in their cars doing 60mph, oblivious the man in a suit overtaking them at over 200mph from 3 miles above"

"This is an extremely dangerous place to be because if you are truly in the moment you can have the mistaken belief that you are immortal."
