I’m not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it’s probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

    The first time I showed it to my kid, they said “Daddy, what is reality?”

    I still don’t know how to answer, especially in a way that makes sense of the video.

      Kid, that is exactly what question that video was asking, and it doesn’t know the answer either.

          I’ve had two 5-year-olds. You blow their minds enough they’ll leave you alone for a few minutes.

            For me, when they asked that question, I said “let’s talk about it after the video.” (I genuinely intended to, but I wanted to think about my answer and to finish the video.) At the the of the video, they’d lost interest and no longer wanted to discuss it.

            A few days later, I forget why, but they asked me what a soul was. I said something like “your soul is who you are deep down.” They said “okay!” and went back to whatever they were doing, so I guess they weren’t too invested.

            They’ve been asking a lot of hard hitting questions lately.

              Yeah, they keep doing that.

              I’ll usually hit them with a spread of what different people think, I try not to lead them let them make their own decisions, invariably I will poison the well with bias unintentionally. Of course I can hardly avoid it when they go well what do you think, because that’s probably not something I should be hiding either…

                Would you mind if I messaged you directly, rather than continue deepening this thread until it’s unreadable?
