Agreed. Andy weir is a treasure to me. I love almost everything he's ever written. I'm patiently waiting for the next book but whatever it is I'll be excited for it. Project hail Mary was one of my favorite books of all time. I've reread it over and over. It's just so much fun to read. I hope they don't fuck it up with the movie they're making on it but they probably will.

Oh Kurzgesagt is why I discobered it and set me into being fascinated by conciousness for a year or two, the hours i've spent reading/ listening to susan blackmore and daniel dennet is embarassing honestly.

That's because I(we) am a giant egomaniac sometimes ;)

It's a neat idea for sure. I think the actual word for this... Ideology?..is solipsism. It's a pretty wild rabbit hole if you're bored and possibly stoned enough to dig around. Which is actually how I found this years ago.
