THOUGHT


Before taking a short break from the relentless task of blog posting, I, Fugger, the people’s blogger, would like to leave you with the following thought:

What if reality is a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation made by people who are part of a simulation who are about to turn their computer off?
Ta ta for now,

Missing you allllllllllllreeeeeaaaaaady,

Mr. Fugger.

Ok, here's my thought to "thought". I may very well be wrong, and caveat apology takebackstatement, but I wonder what would happen if you were in control of a switch which inflicted pain on humanity. Don't get me wrong, you're a nice guy, and I like the blog and all, but thoughts turn towards oblivion, as they do, and who's with me or against me...

So if the One True Magnificat Roman Apostolic God gave you power over a button... turn it so far, and everyone will feel pain. Turn it further, and those who are tired of suffering will die; those who value life enough to endure pain; will live. A "human condition" test, if you will- how far would you turn it?

Of course, we could just discuss this (or discuss the footie) over a long overdue pint?

You are describing a dial and not a button. You can't turn buttons you silly moo.

Anyway, this dial eh? I wouldn't turn it. Why should the 'human condition' test be one that is based on how much suffering you can endure? A believer in 'The One True Magnificat Roman Apostolic God' might think that it is the purpose of life to endure and then go to heaven or whatever but that is the fetishisation of suffering.

For the rest of us the aim is to avoid suffering. That's how we progress right? That's why we invent medicines and so on. I think the 'human condition' test should award top marks to people who come up with ways to help us avoid suffering. Friedrich Sertürner, for example, would pass this test with flying colours (google his name and then insert 'LOL' here). As would someone who finds a way to get everyone in the whole world to throw their money in the fuckin bin.

Strangely, the inventor PINTS would both pass and fail the test.

You can't turn buttons? I guess thats a flaw in my masterplan.

My thought last night was probably clouded by the severe back pain I'm currently experiencing, but I'll dwell for a while on your assumption that we are here to avoid suffering (which I class as very different to avoiding pain). That's what wrong with kids these days, they see pain as something to be avoided.

Nothing a spell in the army wouldn't cure them of.
