I've been watching it for the first time for the past two weeks. Wish I had discovered it sooner, but reddit was obsessed with the show when it was new and it kind of turned me off from it. Stupid, I know, but reddit tends to love shows I hate (like The Office US and Fallout).
Glad I gave it a chance cause it's honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's near the top of my list, next to Better Caul Saul.
That episode is why Cancel Culture scares me and why I hate mob mentality online... With the net smaller than ever, a ban on any site is basically your whole life over.
Just shut off from entire communities and outlets. From friends you can't access on any other platform.
Ostracized and chased from the net in the age where more of the world is online than off.,
Or Picard getting stranded on that desert island, and spends about a week eating strange mushrooms and carving flutes from animal bones. To this day the Enterprise crew deny it ever happened, and fabricated some story involving time dilation
I laughed uncontrollably at this. I'm really glad I didn't see this last night while I was high, I probably would have had a huge asthma attack. It's gold.
I don't think anything could make this possible, unless it was possible for another device to take over the "thinking" processing.
Our brains can change how they experience time to process things faster, but they need to shut off a lot of the higher thought to do so (it can happen during life/death scenarios). And even then, the descriptions I've heard of that where there's a decent real time reference makes it sound like the thought speedup was only by a factor of less than 10, probably not more than 5.
And even with another device that could "think" for you even faster, I believe the closest it could really do is implant memories of having spent a large amount of time stuck in some device. Though it depends on the low level details of what conscious thought and existence actually are.
