Yeah, yeah, the time knife. We’ve all seen it.
the implication being that we will have brain implant technology thats for the people and not purely surveillance shows this is a work of fiction.
i’m sure that during the 10,000 years falling there were plenty of billboards and ads
The knives are the only way they can get “impressions” in the future
Do you watch the ad for the brief reprive or skip it to get to the bottom of the tunnel faster.
You skip the ad, because even falling through a tunnel of knives is better than watching an ad
Also the ad is for a new knife-tunnel-as-a-service
KTaaS?
The knives were Cutco, and they made sure that you saw the branding on them each time one of them cut you. Look at how that edge holds up? See how cleanly your flesh is parted by the blade?
Why not both?
Using it to torture the populace when they fall out of line sounds grand.
Yeah, this doesn’t sound like it’s “for the people,” it sounds like it’s specifically for the system. Why bother with jails if you can just make people feel like they’re being punished while still slaving away for their wealthy overlords?
I don’t see what is different. We have this now.
I mean, most of us are probably here on our phones which are spy on us constantly, so it’s not that far-fetched
This broken system disassembles itself, it’s not eternal.
We already do. The stuff they are doing at UCSF is mindblowing
I’ve had drugs that put me in a weird agonizing bodyless state for what seemed like probably days. It’s really hard to describe, but it was terrible. And I think an hour or two in reality. This post reminded me of that strongly, an awful idea.
I didn’t like Salvia either
More like 5 minutes in real time. But yeah, feels like days if not an eternity. And there’s always that feeling of “Oh fuck. I’m never making it back to my body. In fact, my body was just an illusion, and now that it’s gone I’ll never get it back, like a dream you can’t go back to after waking.”
And that typically occupies your mind for the rest of the trip. Until it fades, and you find yourself back in your body, and after you kiss the ground you think “Well that wasn’t so bad afterall. I bet if I try it again I can make it past that part without panicking.”
Nope. It’s like there’s something you can’t fully remember after the trip ends, but each time you go back you realize “Oh fuck, that’s right. That’s why this is so terrifying.”
And then you make it back to your body again, kiss the ground, rinse and repeat…
This was my experience with ketamine therapy as well. I think they gave me way too high a dose.
I’ve never had a good trip on salvia. Always nightmarish experiences, every time. Maybe I should quit doing it one day.
it was some ai weed actually
I’ve never tried salvia but if this is an accurate description of the trip then I guess I’ll pass…
I love time dilation. Curse this temporal prison.
Ah yes, the e-salvia special
If we can’t live forever, overclocking our brain-computer interfaces to cram more virtual time into our remaining years is the next best thing.
Maybe eventually there’ll be FOSS privacy respecting degree packages that you can incorporate in maybe a week. Do 52 of them and prove something new at their insections. Repeat.
That’s how the training sequences in matrix worked.
The neat thing is, you could put a standardised neuro-usable (no bits & bytes) interface in there and the brain would figure by itself out, how to use it. No complicated “this guys memory works like this and goes there and there” like in SAO’ NerveGear, the brain does that.
You should look into how many people have coma or other experiences of a whole lifetime, then wake up and get a whole second lifetime.
And now I’m remembering the fucking Lamp Story.
There’s a kurzgesagt you need to watch on this
I believe I’ve seen them all, but maybe not. Do you remember the title?
We found a loophole to survive the end of the universe
Edit: holy shit I just realized that’s Elijah Wood
His eyes have been moist for decades
The distant future of 11 years ago!
I see your grandkids are also salvia enthusiasts
Hey yeah, that does sound similar!
This happened to my best friend Kakashi from Naruto
Chief Miles O’Brien would like a word…
Is this the episode where he gets sentenced to 20 years of jumanji alamaraine hopscotch prison?
While imprisoned on Cardassia, yeah. :p
It’s just a prank bro!
Great username, shame about the Twitter
Can’t wait for e-ketamine without the drip
if this can happen in the future would they be able to do this but im the dragonborn in skyrim
This is just The Jaunt by Stephen King.
After reading these comments, I am never smoking salvia.
I probably never was going to at my age… but there was a chance I would consider it.
Oh fuck no. Zero. Negative one.
Come on, do it pussy.
Very convincing. OK, you go first tho.
Okay, done!
After reading these comments without my glasses on, I’m never smoking saliva. 😛
