Soundbites 8

  1. In every rich man is a poor man and in every poor man is a rich man.

  2. What can I say, you are a genius.

  3. I try not to discount anything anyone believes. I think the fact that there is such a thing as life at all, means that anything is probably possible.

  4. Men are as much to do with making babies as women are with making houses, planes, computers etc. It’s kinda an inbuilt thing.

  5. The future is immutable. You can't do anything to change it. Pray as much as you like, you are playing a game that has no sway with fate.

  6. Your dying day is known, that's why it is called fate-ality.

  7. Probability and chance are fun games but ultimately life is wholly deterministic.

  8. You have to realise you are tyranised by your language. Half of the things you say, simply are unreal. ‘That was lucky’ for example is an unreal concept. Luck. No such thing. There’s the perception of luck, but there is not the reality of luck. Think about it, how can there be, it’s a delusion. All luck has to be earned. This universal machine doesn’t scratch your back unless you have earned it.

  9. You have to know what a computer is before you can understand that you live in one.

  10. Evolution is an algorithm built in to the simulator. Behind it we must assume is a computational machine.

  11. Many people wonder if we live in a virtual reality simulation. I don't, I know we do.

  12. There's three types of depression. Psychological depression (low IQ), emotional depression (low EQ) and physical depression (unfitness).

  13. Give light to receive light, that is all life is.

  14. Status depends on culture.

  15. The life delusion, “Does life exist?”

  16. If I were God, I would make the exact same choices that He made.

  17. Veil, evil, that's all I'm saying.

  18. I used to live in an area where people had few possessions, they weren't materially rich, they had enough stuff, but not excessive. Then I lived in an area where people (not me) had or have lots of material possessions. What did I notice. The peace is always being disturbed, like multiple times per day in the materially rich area by alarms. Car alarms, house alarms and who knows what else. In my previous place, I don't think I heard an alarm once. It's not to judge it and you would say, 'they don't have alarms because they haven't got anything to nick', but that's not what I am saying. I am saying that you can have all the material wealth, but it brings with it an attitude inherited from evolution which is a paranoia to protect your stash from other predators. So, material wealth and all that, but, it comes with psychological side effects.

  19. People have no influence over God, God has 100% influence over people.
