Cycles occur. I lived thru the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or, maybe I didn't, there's a lot of people who think we may have been shoved into an alternate reality,
part of the Multiverse theory. They cite Mandela Effect. Well, I can tell you that's real. One day, I noticed like SOooo many things different. On TV actually.
Ya, this generation's kids are being raised by I pad, or so I hear. We had TV. Black and white TV. ALL the commercials were suddenly different,
like noticeable even to a child, IDK how the adults didn't. See, commercials were ran for a long time, and they weren't like today, only big-ticket
items like cars and drugs. No, back then it was little household things even, soap. Hence, soap operas. Airtime was cheap, but shooting a new
commercial? huge cost. Run it until ppl are bored with it. People actually talked about new commercials around the water cooler, if novel enough.
Why am I going into this? Well, if this world IS a simulation, then WW3 will spark a reset, or at least a reboot, or something.
See, cycles occur, but we are NOT the Roman Empire, which was in the world of an Agricultural culture. It can survive, farmers are still there,
still planting and harvesting crops.
That is NOT how our technological world works. Farmers rely on machines, if they stop, well, there's no old plow & draft horses to fall back on.
There isn't even any seeds, the seeds are bought every year, I don't even think modern crops can seed themselves. Seed companies in flames?
No seeds. No planting. No food. We don't even need to nuke the whole planet to go extinct, just wipe out technology and it's stone age again.
So I damn well hope this is a simulation on some god-level AI somewhere, somewhen. Because we are too vulnerable unlike in the past.
