Tom Campbell reveals: "Our physical world is a virtual reality, and non-physical entities are real consciousnesses interacting beyond it." He told Joe Rogan how we encounter these entities in out of body or non physical states: they operate without bodies, giving them different capabilities here while we collaborate as a team. "This virtual reality was a place where the people who were done... So what we think of as heaven is a virtual reality. Yes, there's just... lots of virtual realities. The dream realities are virtual reality. This reality is a virtual reality." All realities including physical, dreams, out of body etc are information based simulations generated for consciousness to evolve through choices. Non physical entities are fellow consciousness units or guides in the larger system, not bound by our avatar constraints.

The time has arrived when even the most meek amongst us are forced to admit that part of our freedom is being stolen by illegal foreigners. This has become a full blown stage of cancer in our everyday lives. We have to act and act now before the masses of our people act.

Bruh, never played a Sword Art Online game before till recently. I finally opened SAO Fractured Daydream for the XBOX Series X not too long ago and can't put the game down. Most anime games are usually milked slop with little effort. But this game is pretty competent. It has an arcade-like feel to it, and scoring rewards you with weapons, accessories, and costume drops when hitting high ranks at the end of each mission. I've only watched Season 1 of SAO, so I don't know most of the characters. This game combines all of the SAO series of characters into one game. What I love about it is that every character feels unique. The GGO characters have 3rd-person shooter mechanics, which is dope! It's 20 players divided into 5 parties of 4 online, and crossplay too! Review coming soon!

MIT scientist says aliens are likely all around us! We just can't see them... Donald Hoffman says the mathematics indicates embodied consciousness like ours is a rare exception in the universe. The universe should be teeming with intelligence more advanced than humans, operating without traditional bodies. Hoffman calls our human form one of the cheapest, most restrictive "virtual reality headsets" in existence. The default state of consciousness, according to the math, has no body at all. "Embodiment is very, very small." "The universe would be teeming with life that is more advanced than humans and also doesn't have traditional bodies." "Our particular kind of view of the world, the kind of, I'll call it a headset, the virtual reality headset that we're using for our embodiment, is one of the more trivial kinds of headsets." "Our headset is one of the cheapest, most restrictive possible." "There are all sorts of variations that are far more interesting and complicated than what we've got." "Embodiment is the exception, not the rule." Full episode with Donald Hoffman out now.

One of John McAfee's final messages to the world: "Some of you may be living an existence of dissatisfaction... of emptiness... of longing." "This sense of longing... is really your loss of freedom. And it is freedom for which you yearn." "And you have none in this government. A government... which started out with the people being free and the government being our servants. It has become the government is free... and it's the people that are the servants." "You have woken up to your reality. That is what you are feeling." "Wake up a bit more and do something about it."

Thanks to leaks, we now know Pokémon Project Synapse – a new online multiplayer Pokémon game is being unveiled this week. But what is Pokémon Synapse? The short answer is we don't know yet, we know it's multiplayer and likely being developed by Pokémon Works, the new company set by ILCA and TPC, but we have some hints about it from last year's Teraleak. In the Teraleak there was another game that fit this description - the cancelled Pokémon Project Rodeo. The game is also an online multiplayer game for both Switch and smartphones and revolves around using ride Pokémon to defeat rampaging Pokémon. In the pitch document for it, it mentions some Splatoon references for the fact that you can customize your characters and your gun (yeah it has some kind of gun), and the fact that it's a team based online game. While Rodeo was cancelled, we think that parts of it have been reincorporated into Synapse, what we don't know yet is how different it is now.

UFO: Enemy Unknown, also known as X-COM: UFO Defense in the US, was one of the coolest games of the 90s. MicroProse published this sci-fi strategy classic in 1994, and it became an absolute cult hit. The music and sound effects still give me nerd chills - this game just oozes epicness. You’re in charge of the defense and research organization Extraterrestrial Combat (X-COM). You start with basic tech and weapons but gradually learn more about the alien invasion and their technology. Virtually all reviews gave it high 90% ratings, and Computer Gaming World called it the #1 sleeper hit of all time. It flew off the shelves with massive sales and is widely regarded as a cornerstone of strategy gaming. Some games feel truly timeless. This is one of them.

This episode I start building the AI Portrait app only to learn that none of my friends want it, but I still believe... Link to first episode: Why this series? I want to document my WHOLE journey building an app, marketing it, and making money off of it. Is it really that easy? How hard is it? I've been seeing so many X users online talking about how easy it is to make money online with AI now. I want to test it and show people the reality of making a business online.
