For a long time I’ve had a curiosity in topics like simulation theory, the nature of reality etc. not enough to dive particularly deep or become any kind of expert on the subjects but enough to watch the odd video here and there and have an open mind to possibilities… Recently I’ve had a very close encounter with 2 different Mandela effect situations (Mandela effect being when you have a very distinct memory of something but in actual fact it is not that way - the idea being some kind of cross over between parallel universes). One of the cases was something my wife brought up so for me it didn’t feel that “strong”. The other case was a song from my childhood that I remember very clearly - from a book that had a audio cassette. That song seemingly no long exists. It sounds crazy until you experience it. An extremely visceral feeling that “this” isn’t real, it’s not what I know to be true. That something has changed and feels off… That feeling has been quietly lingering in the back of my mind for the last several years - I’m sure a lot of you have felt that too. This was something more. Very strong and not something that can be ignored. I’ve been on a low time preference quest to dive deeper and find some answers for some time on and off. I’ve encountered an actual demon telling me not to (yeah, I know… I sound insane) so I know there are answers to uncover. Over the weekend I discovered the story of Jason Padgett. A guy who apparently experienced sudden savant syndrome after a night club attack. Now I’m not a math or physics nerd at all (I slept through both of those classes in school) but something in his explanation of the fundamental building blocks of reality clicked with me. It brought a very scientific (sounding to a laymen) explanation that made some kind of sense. Whether you come at all of the above topics from a scientific, spiritual or sci-fi angle if you follow the threads something seems to eventually bring it all back together. I think I need to go deeper…

A short story… a bit more medium than I like but still phenomenal

Is it just me or do other people feel like their life is always in a constant state of limbo?

@Slimey Limey I’m considering buying a little ooni as an accessory (or main feature) for my deck… what do you think of them?

Don’t think I’ve ever experienced as much “conference” FOMO as this weekend and next. Some massive opportunities passed up 😞
