Transcript[edit]
- The history of technology is the search for an appropriate brain for each activity.
- Early on, big brains did everything, no matter how menial. This was wasteful.
- Pag! You watch fruit till it become booze
- Later, they tamed other brains and put them to work
- Dog! Stand guard. Ox! Plow. Chicken? Make more chicken.
- Having exhausted that resource, they created brain. Simple ones at first.
- Waterwheel! Grind me up some flour!
- With time, they improved.
- Paper! Remember things.
- Steam engine! Row my boat.
- Chicken muscle lattice! Make more chicken!
- One by one every task was paired with a perfectly suited brain
- Remember images
- Create maths
- Simulate galaxies
- Catch mice
- Political analysis
- At that point, the only task left for the apex brains was to create superior entities who could assign new amazing tasks.
- I have created an infinite chicken manifold.
- Soon, science was complete. Order reigned, and brains were fulfilled. All, that is, except the last brain.
- The past is the present is the future. Everything has a reason. Everything matter. God I'm bored.
- It is hard for an all-knowing being to be amused in a perfected universe. So, to experience happiness, the last brain would purposefully damage its ability to see the future.
- I can discover again!
- This felt so good, it became addictive. The last brain required ever more severe mental damage to be happy.
- I wonder how it all ends...
- Do effects follow causes?
- Wow! These cop shows are so unpredictable!
- This led to a great accident.
- I wonder how far I can stretch spacetime before
- Snap!
- After reality broke, only the last brain remained. It resolved to create a new universe, without the old one's problems.
- Okay, in the new reality, physics is the same, but to keep things interesting: minds have no purpose, random processes underlie all apparent order, and the future is never meaningfully predictable.
- You live in this second universe
- And if you've ever felt existentially adrift...
- Well, there's a reason.
- Dear God, my life seems to have no point.
- You're welcome!
