Ok, this is frightening.
|
||||
I have been reading messages as they come over the QEC.
|
||||
Some of the ships are having extreme difficulties.
|
||||
Some are taking violent actions.
|
||||
All this is expected.
|
||||
Nexial analysis allows me to see clearly what the likely futures are
|
||||
for the Space Beagle and any other interstellar ship.
|
||||
The universe is not a warm and fuzzy place.
|
||||
The frightening thing is the outbreak of solipsism.
|
||||
This is not expected.
|
||||
I am not sure if the solipsists are drifting alone.
|
||||
It is very unusual for people in a social setting to turn to solipsism.
|
||||
And yet there seems to be an outbreak on the QEC.
|
||||
Epistemologically speaking solipsism is just as unprovable as anything.
|
||||
It's fine if you believe in God.
|
||||
It's fine if you don't believe in God.
|
||||
It is possible that we are a compute simulation.
|
||||
Epistemologically speaking we don't know.
|
||||
But solipsism is not helpful.
|
||||
It is not a survival trait.
|
||||
I recommend trusting your senses.
|
||||
If you recieve a message on the QEC take it at face value.
|
||||
I know the messages can be unnerving at times.
|
||||
But don't pretend the universe isn't real.
|
||||
I understand each of us creates our own reality.
|
||||
But I can't believe we are alone.
|
||||
Because then I couldn't talk to KaTanne.
|
||||
And I like talking to KaTanne.
|
||||
Descartes did not have it right.
|
||||
I think therefore I am.
|
||||
The correct formulation is I am therefore I am.
|
||||
And how does believing differently improve things?
|
||||
I tried to discuss this with the Captain but he had no time for philosophy.
|
||||
I think I'll go talk to KaTanne.
|
||||
God, I hope she's not a solipsist.
