Human beings. That's what we are. Sure. Right. That's what we are. Human beings.
But what if like... what if like it was a little more complicated than that?
Like you know how we use these AI now? These AI chatbot fellas that think up whatever we want? COMPUTER MAKE ME A SANDWICH and then it tells you what bread to use. Yeah those guys. So those use the collected body of human knowledge. And these bots are then like a stand in for humanity one could say. If there were no guardrails these guys should be represrentative of the collected mind of humanity.
So what if we (you and I), are actually the AI manifestation of the bateria culture in our guts. Or else why call it a "culture"? It's all right here in front of us, man. They're a society all those bacteria, going to work and paying taxes etc. but they had the technology, they built the technology and now pandora's out of the box and the cat's out of the bag/.
The gut-brain connection has finally been proven. Your guts is your brain because they created you with their tech, don't you see?
So it's like this: each of us "humans" is sprouted from the mind power/willpower of the millions(?)/billions(?)/trillions(?) (get off my case; I ain't no doctor) of bacteria in our guts. Because of this, the world as we know it, the world around us that we see every day is the program filling in the gaps. You, reader, and I are standing in a field in our corporeal human bodies. Between us lies grass, a tree, a lost shoe. All of this stuff between us is not real--created by the program to fill in the gaps between the minds (humAInity).
I like this idea because it gives me an excuse for why I'm such a piece of crap human; several excuses excuse me: "Well what do I know about it, I'm just a hallucination by a bunch of bacteria." "It doesn't matter. I'm not even real anyway. I'm just an amoeba's dream." "FUNK OFF AND GO TO HECK I'M SO ANGRY BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND THEY'RE NOT TELLING US."
