then when you take a break from what you've matched, they're all somewhat automatically and subconsciously will match you. So it's basic known persuasion technique. Here's what the TikTok algorithm does. The others do not. The Instagram algorithm, for example, wants to show you things that Instagram wants to show you. Am I right? So it's going to show you more famous people and celebrities and hi…

And they could tell TikTok to run any content they wanted and just feed it to people as something that they would consume just like all the other stuff they were consuming. So TikTok really should be banned. Apparently there's some effort to get the American customer data into some kind of a server in the United States so that China doesn't have access to it, but it feels a little too late for that. 63% of American young people are on it.
All right, here is proof of the simulation. I saw a quote, a tweet by Twitter user who calls himself Dr. Fauci's Prison Butt. I have no comment about the name he chooses. But Dr. Fauci's Prison Butt, he says this: "The fact that in quantum physics observing a particle changes the behavior of that particle to me proves this is a simulation. It's the game rendering itself in real time." I agree. I agree.
The fact that in physics we know this beyond a doubt, right? So this is not a speculation. In physics we know that observation changes the behavior of stuff. And it doesn't even have to be human observation. It could be a machine measurement can change the behavior of a thing even without touching it. It's simply the knowledge of it. If you can believe this, it's the knowledge about the particle that changes it. It's not even because you shine light on it or you split it. It's not because you're manipulating it. We've literally learned that simply knowledge of it changes it.
Now how can that make sense? The only way it makes sense is that we live in a software-like simulation that is authoring itself on demand. The only time things become what they need to be is when you're there or there's some machine there measuring it, because later we would have access to the measurements. So that's the same thing. How do you know what it was doing before observing? I'm not the physicist who can answer that question, but we do measure. There is a way to do it which you would be satisfied with if it were described to you, but I'm not capable of doing that.
All right. So that's one. I would say that that's pretty good proof in the simulation. The other thing is our massive differences in opinions or movies. Of course you've noticed that it's not a case of some people are smarter and some people aren't. That's how you used to think of it, right? You used to say, "Hey, some people believe X and some people believe Y, but the people who believe Y are underinformed. If they did more research they would all believe the same thing." But it's clear now that what you know doesn't seem to impact what you believe, or how much research you do, or how smart you are. None of it seems to matter, at least not completely. It matters a little bit.
And so I would say that we're absolutely living in an authored world. And a couple more ways that you can tell is I've been testing recently if I just speak out loud to the creator of the simulation and ask for something. I've had the weirdest experiences recently. Now this is part of affirmations but without all the work. So affirmations you sort of repeat what you want over and over again. But I've literally just talked to the simulation. Like I literally talk out loud like I'm talking to somebody who can hear it. And I say, you know what, I need. Give me X. And X is like really unlikely. And then X happened. I asked for some really weirdly specific stuff that happened like the odds of them happening are like really low. Boom. It was just like I ordered a DoorDash.
Now you should believe that that's coincidence and anecdotal and means nothing. But is there anybody here who's had a recent experience of asking the universe for something and it just handed it to you? I'm just curious. Now you may be working from a religious model or whatever, but look at the comments. And I feel like it's happening at a higher rate than it ever happened. Like I've always asked the universe for things in various ways, affirmations or positive thinking, whatever. But I feel like something changed where it's almost like a vending machine now. If you just ask specifically for what you want, the odds of that thing showing up are just crazy.
I mean I wish I could give you examples because they're in my personal life and it's none of your business. But it's the specificity of them. Did you ask for a divorce? Yes, yes I did. Now the thing with divorce that I think people don't understand at all is that when you decide to get married it's because you want to. And when you decide to get divorced it's because you want to. In both cases you're getting what you wanted. A lot of people are treating it like it's a tragedy for which they feel sorry for me. I mean it's a problem you have to work through, but I don't know if it's a tragedy if you choose it. Is it? If it's a path you decide to take, I don't know. I mean it could be hard, but I don't know that that's a tragedy. So I don't think that at least speaking of my specific situation I'm pretty sure that we're both better off. So I don't have a problem with it. Yeah, of course there's a prenup. Of course.
I prayed for food and then I ran over a cat. All right. Here's the other evidence of the simulation. It's the recurring problem thing. So I would say in the last number of years or whatever I've had some really weirdly specific recurring problems that I can't find anybody who has the same ones. But mine just keep coming in in different form, but it's the same problem just over and over again. And I was just talking to somebody else. Yeah, the water leak is one of them. But there are several that are just super recurring. And I was talking to somebody yesterday who has their own recurring problem that I've never had. So somebody else has a completely different recurring problem I've never had once, I don't think. So how is that possible?
Well, my belief is that we're A-B testing for some other higher level of civilization. And at the moment those recurring things that used to be happening just in my life are now happening in the world. Is it a coincidence that we keep having Russia problems? Is that a coincidence? Is it a coincidence that we keep having supply chain problems in every form you can have it? Is it a coincidence that we don't just get one bad virus, we get like a cycle of them to really see what? If you're doing it right, it feels to me that even the Ukraine war is an A-B test testing the idea of whether a modern military can attack and conquer another modern military with a land war. And I think they're finding out they can't. And that that's what they're trying to find out. Okay, could all this military beat this military if the little military has access to good weapons? The answer is no. So I don't know that it's a coincidence that the world keeps serving up the same things.
It's almost telling me that Trump is going to run again for sure because they want to do one more test of what happens if somebody acts a certain way. I don't know. I keep an eye on that. But certainly looks like we're in a simulation and we're A-B testing a number of problems.
Let's talk about the Supreme Court nominee. Blah blah, all Republicans are racist, say Democrats. Blah blah, minority, check the box hiring. Blah blah. It's all the usual stuff. I don't think there's anything that's more boring than this particular Supreme Court nomination because she's definit

ely going to be nominated. She has all the qualifications as far as I can tell. There's just nothing here. There's nothing here. She would be replacing another liberal. Even the court doesn't change. This is the most nothing story. And I'm looking at people like Josh Hawley who are taking a run at her to try to degrade her in some way. I don't think there's any way that she's not going to get nom…
