Hard Problem of the Universe

The ultimate self-containment paradox: The universe, by definition, is the totality of all that exists. Therefore, any explanation for why the universe exists, or how it came to be, must posit something (a law, a cause, a god) that is itself part of or prior to that totality. This leads to either an infinite regress (what caused the cause?), a logical circle (the universe created the conditions for its own creation), or an arbitrary stopping point ("It just is"). The universe cannot explain itself from within; it is the ultimate brute fact, and that unsatisfying brute-fact-ness is the hard problem.

Example: Asking "What caused the Big Bang?" might lead to "A quantum fluctuation in a prior vacuum state." But then, what caused that vacuum state and its laws? If you say "A multiverse," what explains the multiverse's rules? The hard problem: Every explanation smuggles in new, unexplained elements. The universe is like a book that tries to tell the story of its own printing and binding. The final page would have to be outside the book, which is impossible if the book contains all pages. Hard Problem of the Universe.

Why does the universe have 2 sides?

Oh! Sabine! OK! Remember how I said that the universe cannot come from nothing because it violates Newtons 1st law of motion?

Hym "So, why does the universe have 2 sides? Well, let me ask you this: Is the splatter... Of the matter... Consistent... WITH A COLLISION COMING FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE EMPTY SECTION OF THE UNIVERSE!? RIGHT? What if... The BANG... Of the big bang... Is a collision with another singularity!? Right!? So... Imagine a water balloon filled with marbles floating in space. The water is made of space-time. The marbles are made of all of the elements of the universe. Right? Now... Imagine that water balloon getting slammed into by another water balloon (presumably also filled with marbles). Now imagine watching that collision in slow motion. What happens to the marbles? It's not exact but you see what I'm saying, right? Because it's not marbles and water it's 'space-time' and 'matter' and the laws of the universe lead the matter to do whatever it does. Right? We've been hit! Where'd we get hit from? SABINE! Calculate direction and trajectory! And prepare to return fire!"

Quantum...ly Entangled Universes

No, honey. Not necessarily parallel but, like...

Hym "Quantum...ly Entangled Universes. OK? And there is symmetry between mircocosmic evens and what is happening universally (or I guess multiversally/In macrocosm) Right? Like that 'visual representation of a quantum entangled state, particularly when visualized as a wave function, often resembles the Daoist "yin-yang" symbol' AND (obviously) our art and society. Particularly what you are doing to me. YOU don't want me to be better than you so you are collectivizing to cast me into an alternate reality where I am not the creator of AI and STEALING THE GOOD REALITY FOR YOURSELF because you would rather live in delusion than inhabitant the world you live in. And that is how heaven and hell works by the way. We're like a jar of oil and water that got shaken up. OH! 😲 Which would explain why time seems so slow and retarded- Er, um, inconsistent... 🤔 Our perspective of time is distorted because we're inside the jar. But outside of the jar it probably only looks like it takes a couple of minutes. ALSO! That MIGHT be what Black holes are! Like, our universe is more viscous than the one that collided into us and if our stars get too heavy they sink into the universe that is entangled with ours. It looks to us like it's collapsing in of itself but really it's sinking STRAIGHT DOWN IN ALL DIRECTIONS!"

Political Cinematic Universe

1. A soyjak’s Marvel-tier obsession with treating politics like the next Avengers saga, where voting for the "lesser evil" is the ultimate NPC quest. Features endless reboots (elections), zero character development (career politicians), and post-credit scenes (news cycles) teasing the next "most important election of our lives."

2. When normies LARP as "freedom fighters" by doomscrolling headlines, stanning blue-check politicians, and arguing online like they’re in the Capitol Hill version of Endgame. Spoiler: Thanos (the deep state) always wins.

"Dave spent 4 hours debating midterm polls on Reddit, fully immersed in the Political Cinematic Universe. Meanwhile, his life’s still mid, his 401k’s dead, and his wife’s boyfriend says ‘vote harder.’"
