@truthstreamnews Baudrillard's 'Desert of the Real', inverting the Borges fable of a map so detailed it ends up identical to the entire territory, is rather apposite. (See the first page of Simulacra and Simulation.)

@JaKephas @_kruptos At 8 mins - saying you've never felt the need or desire to join a church, with a "that's up to Christ" - reminded me of Kierkegaard, who thought that everyone's answer to the question 'Are you a Christian?' ought to be 'I hope so.'

@Logan4Time @JasonWilde108 I know. But JW seems to be claiming that C is both computable and essentially different from a computed simulation of it.
