Isn't it weird that we are in the year 2023 and nobody knows what it is? Thousands of generations have gone by and every new one lives with these questions all their lives and it just gets passed to the next one. We don't know what life is, we don't know what death is, we don't know what the difference is, and it's been hundreds of thousands of years going on like this. People die every day but we don't really know what it means, we just imagine a TV screen going off in their head and shudder and say we still have lots of time ourselves. And we foist this on children too. Pretty strange. And geeks on a tech forum are like yeah, we got this, it's just around the corner, let me just whip up this artificial intelligence and we'll get the truth for you in just another couple of years. And what's going to happen when they "figure it out"? Is it going to be an answer like yeah dude, these particles move around like this in this one way and that makes a TV screen in your head and when you die they stop moving and the TV screen goes out, you're the TV screen? Is that going to be basically the answer?
