I always found “Simulation Theory” to be a lazy Reddit version of Deism to begin with, but especially these days it’s dire just how often undesirables are perceptibly stripped of personhood with that same belief system. It doesn’t pass as a joke for me when too many rich creeps like sermonize about it on the regular and their sycophantic followers feel more like Main Characters by nodding along.
This is coming from the same “genius” who has (among many other things) claimed to be a socialist, and a utopian anarchist (because of sci-fi books ) and most recently came to the epiphany that all of politics is actually just good vs evil. If there’s one guy who has a deep understanding of politics and doesn’t just say random shit that he thinks is trendy it’s definitely him
He’s not really brighter than and shares the same “last person in the room that kisses his ass can likely change his entire opinion of something” trait.
And is decidedly more charismatic in a crude way overall in a way that nazis can more openly go for.
