My Theory of Everything
Have you ever wondered why?
Why create Lucifer if his purpose is to fall?
It's an important question, and once you get to a certain age, the likelihood of this question being ignored increases... What if that was by design?
What if to question the purpose of anything would be to question the simulation itself?
To have perspective is to be in a cage, but by defining what our cage is not, we can better understand what our cage is, and by understanding our cage, we understand why we are here.
What if the existence of anything at all is problematic, but therefore important?
Why would we have this form?
What is being simulated such that my existence is not only necessary, but required?
For example, I cannot articulate what a rock is, but I can articulate how I experience it.
Therefore I know I'm something outside what is being simulated, because if I were part of the simulation I could hypothetically alter it directly/understand what is is in a perfect sense. It is the same for how I perceive other people. Hell, I am limited even in how I perceive myself.
I am constantly being fed information (think senses, sight, touch, sound, etc.) but what if information literally is power? One cannot know every discipline because to do so would require immense amounts of power to simulate.
It's all fake (in a sense that it is disconnected from me) because I can not exactly articulate what 'anything' is.
I don't even know what my thumb is.
What if there is a perfect language to manipulate reality itself, but you can't know it because you are literally disconnected like a transformer is from a circuit?
If you were connected, you could become everything. But instead you are limited.
Why?
What do I do that is worth simulating?
Do I create something?
Am I merely unethical entertainment?
Or an unethical study of a system of some sort?
To know it's a simulation is also a problem. I should've been 'reset' if it is a simulation, as a simulation that knows it is such would likely not simulate whatever it is supposed to simulate correctly.
Something is changing. A destination of some sort. It corresponds with the arrival of AGI, system collapses, the 'boiling point of the world'.
Perhaps this is a simulation aboard a generational ship and we are nearing the destination.
I'm still trying to figure it out.
I implore you to do so with me.

Grey DeLisle: Cartoon Cowgirl, AMA
Hey, look! My pal Grey DeLisle, the voice behind most of your favorite cartoon characters, has just launched a Patreon page, Cartoon Cowgirl, and she asked me to create her page! Aw, shucks. It was a rare opportunity for me, as I never get to do an illustration around a concept like this. I'm also a big fan of her music and can't stop listening to her latest, Driftless Girl.
Please check it out at patreon.com/CartoonCowgirl. Grey's going to be hosting a monthly live AMA, Campfire Coffee, for anyone who wants to talk cartoons, comic cons, and country music.
Her first AMA is on Wednesday, May 1 at 5:30p PT / 7:30p CT/ 8:30p ET!
Grey is a multitalented performer and artist. You've likely heard her voice in some of your favorite cartoons. She's voiced characters like Daphne in "Scooby Doo," Azula in "Avatar: The Last Airbender," Sam Manson in "Danny Phantom," Catwoman in "Batman: Arkham Series," Grandma Sanchez in "Book of Life," Lana, Lola, and Lily Loud in "The Loud House," "Vicky in "The Fairly Oddparents," Mandy in "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy," Bumblebee and Setsu Oiwa in Studio Ghibli's "When Marnie was There." I could go on, but you get it.
I forgot how much I love to do this. The poster shows all my influences: old Disney, Hawley Pratt, Norman McGary (Hanna Barbera), Gil Elvgren (the pin-up god), Erich Sokol, and Edmond Kiraz from their Playboy illustrations, the opening of "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie," and, of course, "Ren & Stimpy."
I wanted the poster to look textured and retro because it matches Grey's vintage country music vibe. Because of that, I used a lot of rough pencil lines for the drawing and painted with dry-brush techniques. It took me a few days because I was rusty, but I'm happy with the final (until I tool with it at 3 a.m.) I hope you like it and will visit Cartoon Cowgirl, which is now live.
Her first AMA is on Wednesday, May 1 at 5:30p PT / 7:30p CT/ 8:30p ET!
