Simulation theory is similar to religious belief in a higher creator.

And I think actually it just comes down to it comes down to, I'm a spiritual person. I believe in the existence of a higher creator, of a higher power. And I feel like there's actually a lot of similarities between that and believing in simulation theory. I mean, like, people, people say, oh, it's all a simulation. Is that really so different from having a universe that was created by an all-powerful being? Like, it's almost, I often feel like simulation theory is just normal religion wrapped up in a package that a person who claims to be a religious can partake in.

The devil's biggest trick is convincing people that good does not exist.

The devil's greatest trick, as I said yesterday, is not convincing the world that he didn't exist. That's one of his big tricks. The biggest trick that just hit me a few days ago is the devil's biggest trick is convincing you that good doesn't exist, that there aren't really a lot of good people and honorable people and people that want to do good and want to learn and want to do better.

Arthur Kessler's book Ghost of the Machine explores the duality of the human mind and body.

Ghost in the Machine is a philosophical text, and this dude's analysis of it is basically proof only that he's not equipped to handle dense material. The book itself is Arthur Kessler's attempt to explore the duality of the human, the difference in the mind and body being in the same unit. How can a creature so advanced and capable of such intellect also be a creature that's prone to thoughtless violence and whims of nonsensical passion? That's the central question that's being dealt with in this tract.
