    Oh man, anyone who runs on such existential maximalism has such infinite power to state things as if their conclusion has only one possible meaning.

    How about invoking Monkey Paw – what if every statement is true but just not in the way they think.

    1. A perfect memory which is infinitely copyable and scaleable is possible. And it’s called, all the things in nature in sum.
    2. In fact, we’re already there today, because it is, quite literally the sum of nature. The question for tomorrow is, “so like, what else is possible?”
    3. And it might not even have to try or do anything at all, especially if we don’t bother to save ourselves from ecological disaster.
    4. What we don’t know can literally be anything. That’s why it’s important not to project fantasy, but to conserve of the fragile beauty of what you have, regardless of whether things will “one day fall apart”. Death and Taxes mate.

    And yud can both one day technically right and whose interpretations today are dumb and worthy of mockery.

      A map is not the territory, but every territory is, in a sense, a map of itself.
