Today's Biden inspired thought: no-one has an accurate memory of their past.  We only have a memory of a past that resulted in us being alive in the current time.  Say you made a video of yourself being diagnosed with cancer in the past that condemns you to death some time in the future.  Actually, the only way to know if the video is accurate is by comparing it to your memory of the diagnosis, whose accuracy itself is guaranteed to be flawed.  What will really happen in the future is loss of all memory that either a video or a diagnosis was ever made & you going on living.


The cruel side effect of the multiverse is that we see everyone around us eventually die but never experience death in our own frame of reference. If you kill yourself, everyone else will see you die but you'll wake up the next day with no memory of ever killing yourself & probably facing the same problems.


Elon inspired thought: everyone who has ever lived has experienced an exponential growth in technology like what we're experiencing, in their own time & frame of reference. They have all lived to witness the species of their time build giant rockets & journey to the stars. Perhaps they have all witnessed the same growth in progress in the form of a man like Elon arriving & driving it.
