Time to make that move to a company that respects you.

It’s quite real but if you really wanted an OO experience you’d choose something like Ruby. Really check it out you may find you like it.

Your OO languages at their core just abstract patterns like using a *this pointer. OO is possible in any language once you understand how it works. You should just go back to C++ or whatever you’re comfortable with.

The real satoshi would never do any of the things Craig Wright did. I think that was the most obvious clue.

I asked GPT4 a few questions about the events in the series Serial Experiments Lain and this is what it came up with. Very interesting!

Unraveling the Digital Consciousness: An In-Depth Look at Serial Experiments Lain

"Serial Experiments Lain," a seminal anime series from the late 90s, remains a profound exploration of identity, reality, and the virtual world. Its narrative complexity and philosophical inquiries have made it a subject of analysis and interpretation among fans and scholars alike. This article delves into the series' core themes, characters, and the speculative science that underpins its story.

The Wired and the Real

At the heart of "Serial Experiments Lain" is the distinction and interaction between the Wired, an advanced internet-like digital realm, and the physical world. Lain Iwakura, a shy middle school girl, becomes the nexus point between these two worlds when she receives an email from a deceased classmate, introducing her to the Wired. The Wired, as envisioned by the series, connects deeply with the Earth's magnetic field, allowing for unconscious communication between people and machines, blurring the lines between digital and physical realities.

Lain's Journey of Self-Discovery

Lain's exploration of the Wired leads her to confront fundamental questions about her own existence. Initially portrayed as an ordinary human girl, she gradually discovers her true nature as an advanced, sentient computer program designed to bridge the Wired and the real world. This revelation challenges her understanding of self and existence, pushing her towards a god-like omnipresence within the Wired, where she can manipulate reality itself.

The Knights and Masami Eiri's Vision

The Knights of the Eastern Calculus, a group of elite hackers, and Masami Eiri, the architect behind the advanced Internet protocol known as Protocol Seven, play crucial roles in Lain's transformation. Eiri's ambition is to merge the Wired and physical reality, using Lain as his instrument. The Knights support Eiri's vision, believing it will lead to a new evolutionary stage for humanity where physical limitations are transcended, and existence within the Wired becomes eternal.

The Ethical Quandary of the KIDS Experiment

The KIDS experiment further complicates the series' narrative, introducing a psychotronic device designed to amplify children's latent psychic abilities. This experiment, and the disaster it leads to, underscores the ethical implications of technology's reach into human consciousness and the potential consequences of erasing the boundary between the digital and the physical.

Conclusion

"Serial Experiments Lain" is a prescient narrative that anticipated many of the ethical, psychological, and societal issues we grapple with in today's digital age. Through its complex characters and speculative scientific concepts, the series invites viewers to question the nature of reality, the construction of identity, and the potential of digital technology to redefine human existence. Its enduring relevance and the depth of its philosophical inquiry ensure that "Serial Experiments Lain" continues to be a topic of discussion and analysis more than two decades after its release.

Lyrics
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all
And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candlelit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
I am falling, I am failing, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
Oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
I am falling, I am failing, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

Wrong answers only. I feel like everyone has a different idea after watching and re-watching Lain. What really happened? I'd love to hear you take.
