What a weird way to place a—in a headline.

Interesting article though. It's the opposite view of the "elegant universe" where we're just incomprehensibly lucky, goldilocked, one among the infinite in some beautiful universe.

There's an almost gnostic coldness to the arbitrariness of us existing in some bizarre, anomalous tangled up mess of a simulation for some unknown reason.

Sure would be nice to read this without a goddamn paywall.

Funny enough, I turn off JS.

And your comment is off topic.
