something something. dont they have those quantum theories?

In the quantum theory called the Many-Worlds Interpretation, every possible outcome exists in different branches of reality.

So when you dream something horrible and wake up relieved, it almost feels like your brain briefly experienced a different possible branch - then snapped back to the one where everything was okay.

Not actual proven physics of course… yet…

    I watched it just the other night but similarly haven’t watched it in years (but when I did I binged it a lot). I’m just going to go ahead and link his segment for anyone curious.

    The message still hits home just as hard today, even if the guy delivering it is… well… “pretty hard to root for”.

      I didn’t think I’d have a problem with his bit given how much I liked the movie, but it definitely hits different today.

      He lost me when he first started ramping up and suggested a means of control was to make us feel small and insignificant. I don’t feel that way. In fact, I feel the opposite. I’m not in a position to fix the worlds problems, but I see the influence of my will in the external world all the time. So that part felt a little gasslight-ey. Double that with knowing he goes on to build a huge platform and does absolute evil shit with it – you absolutely cannot tell me my quiet influcce is insignificant. Fuck you(AJ) dude. Also, felt like he’s projecting there, which is pretty modus a operandi for Jonesey – but maybe thats coded by my knowledge of his story since this clip.

      Also, I am personally very intolerant of people hollering at me. So that didn’t help, but I did think the color changes in his face were hilarious additions to the animation. That animation made it worth finishing the clip. Lol
