Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Interesting timeline of Cannabis Legislation in the US. Looks to be legal in all states in near future.
- How people get rich now. (Paul Graham post from 2021 but worth revisiting)

The New Creationists
If you stop and think about it the people who believe we are living in a Simulation are no different than people who believe in Creationism.
The "simulation" obviously has "intelligent design" and someone had to "create" the simulation right? Creationism is the idea that some Supreme Being designed and created the world. People who believe in the Simulation usually believe some extraterrestrial civilization may have done it (just to add another layer of weirdness and sci-fi elements I guess).
Both systems of thought run into the same problem - who created the creator(s)? To me the most ironic part of this is that many who most ardently believe we are living in a simulation are also fervent atheists. They just don't see how they are no different than people who believe in Creationism. That's amusing to me.
