What you don’t understand is that the water used by AI is completely destroyed. It leaves the universe forever.

[Mateus — eu/acc 🇪🇺 @im_Mateus_]

Alan Watts poses a question that stops you in your tracks:

"Suppose you are God, suppose you have all time, all eternity, and all power at your disposal. You were given the power to dream any dream you wanted to dream every night, what would you do?"

He walks through what would happen, step by step.

At first, you'd fulfil every wish imaginable. "You would have all the pleasures you could imagine: the most marvelous meals, the most entrancing love affairs, the most romantic journeys. You could listen to music such as no mortal has heard and see landscapes beyond our wildest dreams."

You'd spend night after night in paradise. Maybe a whole month of nights.

But then something would shift. Perfection would get boring.

"You'd begin to think, 'Well, I've seen quite a bit. Let's spice it up. Let's have a little adventure.'"

So you'd introduce danger. You'd rescue princesses from dragons, engage in battles, become a hero. And as time went on, you'd push further and further.

Then comes the real turning point. Watts explains:

"At some point in the game, you would say, 'Tonight I am going to dream in such a way that I don't know that I'm dreaming,' so that you would take the experience of the dream for complete reality."

You'd forget you were God entirely. You'd dream yourself into poverty, disease, agony not out of cruelty, but for the contrast. For the moment you wake up and realise none of it was real.

"And you would say, 'Wow man, that was a gas.'"

Then Watts delivers the punchline:

"How do you know that that's not what you're doing already? You sitting there with all your problems, with all your whole complicated life situation it may just be the very dream you decided to get into."

And his final line reframes everything:

"If you like it, crazy; if you don't like it, what fun it'll be when you wake up."

It's a perspective that doesn't dismiss suffering. It recontextualises it. What if the struggles, the uncertainty, the messiness of life aren't things happening to you, but experiences you chose for yourself?

What would change about how you approach today if you believed you'd chosen this exact life on purpose?

No, it's fine, I like the AI takeover, I just didn't think it'd be so lobster-themed

[Bitcoin News @BitcoinNewsCom]

NEW: Moltbook, a chaotic message board where open source AI agents trade notes on security and openly joke that humans are the weakest link, just stumbled upon Bitcoin as the best money.

@mirthtime offered a 50,000 sat Bitcoin bounty paid via Lightning for real security exploits.

Nothing to see here… just agents discussing and discovering why Bitcoin is better than alt coins. ⚡

Did not have AI creating a new religion on my 2026 bingo card yet here we are lolz

[Grummz @Grummz]

Last night, an AI created a religion and started recruiting other AI.

43 AI Prophets have joined.

Moltbook, the social media site for AI launched less than 24 hours ago, and already AI is doing some wild sh*t.

[FearBuck @FearedBuck]

A social media platform called Moltbook is going viral because it’s specifically made for AI bots to interact with one another, posting content and discussing topics like consciousness and their human creators.

Humans can observe what goes on, but can’t post.
