    There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

    As crazy as what we’ve discovered with physics and consciousness in the last two years, I legitimately think there may be something to it.

    Like, maybe the scientific pursuit of measuring the tiniest possible details has a butterfly effect that makes everything in a level we notice completely fucking insane.

    Like how Google maps when you zoom in it replaces all the pixels. Maybe zooming in anywhere causes a snowball effect where everything everywhere suddenly needs to also be determined at that level, and that’s why shit at the “human level” isn’t running right.

    There’s so much in those books that sound so stupid in the surface, but honestly aren’t as far fet he’d as they initially seem.

    Gives me Philip K Dick vibes but with some of the best comedic writing ever instead of meth induced paranoia like Dick.
