Or you're not even on Swell, or you're not on your smartphone right now and you will be later, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. There's so many choices. But are there really that much choices? Do we really have that much agency over our lives? Where are we supposed to will we be better off with less choice? Than being subjugated to higher powers that be. Some would make a claim that's what is going on now with our existence
My brain is all over the place. I know where I initially wanted to go with is that the chess game, if we look at the very beginning of it, there's a certain limit to the number of options. But of course, if you start to look ahead, then the numbers seem increasingly huge. But it's all a matter of scope as well, right?

I thought it really launched off into a great like what great swells can do is it made me think about identity in a sense of is it something we have came into being or was it something that we were kind of determined to do all along? But if we just don't have the calculations in math to figure out every single instance of what particle does what, et cetera, to where we can figure out everything. So there's actually just one show on FX. I think you would like it
So it was one year and only a limited number of episodes. Is this the same show you're talking about? And back to the topic of consciousness. Perhaps I'm just overly cynical and have limited data on what conversations are really about with respect to consciousness because I got so sick of hearing the attempt of manipulating science in order to fit a prescribed idea. Instead of letting science show us that I've just begun to shut it out

And I myself am guilty of sometimes trying to find a conclusion to something when I have to kind of reprogram my brain to just always seek different possibilities and new possibilities because it's so easy to come up with a solution even though it's not actually one. So I can see why you would feel that's tedious and as you said, verbal masturbation, if you will, of people loving to wax philosophy for nothing else more so than just them having this sort of ego. Yeah. Lime, please
And so we have to have the right you know, the old cameras where you had to zoom them in and out and it was fuzzy in one direction, and you pushed it a little bit further and you might go past what's clear to Fuzzy again. And then you bring it back until you finally get the right again to use that word, focus. And I think the same is true of knowledge. It's only helpful and relative within perspective and scope of so many things

Oh, no, Christina, this was a conversation, I believe it was an original swell you had made. So no, it wasn't on my post, but that would have been very interesting if that's the case. I get where you're coming from because when you approach things from a philosophical perspective, there's really no end in sight. It's endless. And that's what makes it beautiful in a way
