      It doesn’t create a paradox. It just creates the same situation I’ve been thinking about for 30 years.

      If I had any musical talant, I would be “Cheesy McSneezer” and my band would be “Cheesy McSneezer and the Cheesy McSneezer 7”. It’s a death metal jazz lounge band. They create all original music, but nobody knows who Cheesy McSneezer is. You hear him on all the albums, but every time you go to the concerts, the band tells you “Sorry guys, I know you came out for a great show, but Cheesy McSneezer couldn’t be here tonight. So instead, please welcome our one night only temporary lead vocals…(Insert any random well known musician here)”

      And every show, the reason why Cheesy couldn’t make it changes, and is always completely absurd. And every album cover is like 100,000 people all coming together for a photo shoot. Somewhere in the photo, Cheesy McSneezer is always on the album art…but it’s never aparent which one he is. And the photos are taken from so far away that you really don’t have any up close visuals to cross reference the other photos with.

      So every concert, is technically a famous musician doing cover songs for a guy that nobody knows who he is, but also everybody knows who he is.

    I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…

    Not giving a single F about anything.

    I wish I could return to the state I was during pre birth. I have been given a small time frame of giving f’s though until I will return to that state I desire to be in.

    In about 50 years if nothing out of my control wipes me out I will return to being non existent.

    Thinking about this makes me wonder, I havent given a single f since the big bang and now I am thrown on to a globe and a large handful of people passively forcing me to do. I have to be. I never had the option to not be. Lets see where this goes

      Giving no fucks is the natural state of the universe. One of the human superpowers is we give the most fucks, or we can give fucks about a lot of people, though even hundreds is stretching that limit.

      It’s one of the things we need to get over is that whether we as a species live or die, colonize the stars or go extinct in a century or less, not only will the universe not notice, but it won’t care. It’s up to us to care or not.

      That said, we humans are cruel bastards, so yes, I appreciate the impetus to minimize the fucks you give.

      You think you’re the first living creature to use those atoms that make up your current body? You’re just the current tenant.

    Give me something like physics. I’m just damn curious about how clouds form, or how ants can’t be the size of elephants. Back when I took physics courses I felt like I had a better fundamental understanding of the world.

    Nowadays I’m busy going in another direction, but a cozy Wikipedia article is always fun to read from time to time.
