@max_romana one of my favourite mind blowing moments was in that veritasium video where they zoom out of conways game to reveal it was simulating conways game. Turing completeness is beautiful.
It doesn’t matter how successful or unsuccessful you are right now.
What matters is whether your habits are putting you on the path toward success.
You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your
current results!
Its always fun to try and figure out if there's more meaning in something, and with horror movies it's usually a reflection of the human condition.
Also I got this exercise from slavoj zizek.
Happy spooktober.
Here’s an exercise for horror movies/games:
Take out the horror and you reveal what it actually symbolizes
Example: Take away the monster from The Babadook, and it’s a film about grief and the struggles of single parenthood. The Babadook symbolizes unresolved trauma.

The Exorcist (1973)
Without the demon possession, it becomes a tale of adolescent fear, family conflict, and the struggles between science and faith in the face of inexplicable mental illness.
