Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?

I could go up to any person and, in theory, have just the right conversation with them to get them to do pretty much anything I wanted.

Omg I get triggered by these hypotheticals.

There’s a hypothetical timeline where, say, if a time traveler went back to my childhood, they could brainwash me with the alt-right pipeline.

Like… okay that’s maybe enough hypotheticals… Very uncanny to think about.

You’ve heard of Quantum Immortality… but have you heard of Quantum Silver Tongued Devil?

Quantum Hostage Negotiator?

Quantum Worst Possible Yet Most Persuasive Advice Ever Giver?

I’ve always found this kind of stuff mostly nonsensical.

… what about building a nano (pico? much much smaller?) scale device that takes advantage of the Casimir effect to say, generate … actually random numbers, not pseudo random numbers?

Much more practical.
