    Well, there’s a theory that the Big Bang created both our universe which has an excess of matter and is moving forward through time; and, in the same instant, a mirror universe that has an excess of antimatter and is moving backward through time. So there’s a mirror-you who, in a way, lived billions of years before you.
    The next question then is: is this a cyclical event?


















  • He hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.


  • I’m reminded of “Johnny Mnemonic,” the 1995 movie. From IMDB:

    In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerative effect called “nerve attenuation syndrome” or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS.

    It seems to me that AI is the real “virtual internet” here.
    Although rather unrelated to the topic at hand, I also liked this quote:

    … [Henry] Rollins, who is uninterested in science fiction, joined the cast because he liked the film’s focus on an upcoming disadvantaged underclass.
