    He’s the main character in a cartoon with his name. Brattiest little kid on television, treats his little sister like dirt, parents spoil him, he never actually learns anything. Granted I think he’s 4, but still a terrible role model compared to other kids shows. I could totally see him and his little sister having the interaction in the op, and his parents just letting it happen.


  • Maybe it implies intelligent design, but I don’t think that it implies that we are a part of that intelligent design, necessarily. I mean there’s a whole universe out there that’s mostly just hot hydrogen and the space in-between with spacetime shaped accordingly. Who’s to say that life on earth isn’t just noise? Outside the scope of whoever is running the simulation? It would seem like a waste to calculate a whole universe through all of time specifically to study the great apes of earth.

    I’m inclined to believe that if our universe is running on a machine in a higher universe, it’s for something bigger than us, and its operator is likely not specifically aware of this galaxy, let alone us humans as individuals. Given the consistency we observe, any intelligent design would only be in the laws of physics and perhaps the initial conditions of the universe, everything else would be calculated based on those from there.

    We need to be careful not to be too human-centric in these discussions, because every human-centric theory of the universe that humanity has come up with so far was eventually proven wrong.
