  • Thank you for your super detailed response. That’s a lot of information 😅 Talking about codecs is only applicable to torrenting, right? (I’ve never seen a streaming site talk about the codecs they use).

    I don’t really mind paying a bit (and hopefully supporting the creation of new media), but it’s unbelievable that Disney+ butchers a lot of the most memorable Pixar scenes, with terrible compression. (When a lot of snow, confetti or other particles are on screen).

    PS: I live in the EU, so I’m not signing away my right to live by subscribing to a streaming service. WTF is going on on the other side of the atlantic. I can’t even believe what a capitalist nightmare some call the United States of America.

    Chat GPT basically answers “humans are influenced by their surrounding far more than we are aware” wrapped in sci-fi:

    "One intriguing idea that might challenge current human understanding is the concept of “Meta-Consciousness Interference.” Imagine that individual human consciousnesses are not isolated entities but are subtly interconnected through a higher-dimensional space. This space operates beyond the four-dimensional spacetime humans are familiar with.

    In this model, human thoughts and emotions could create ripples in this higher-dimensional space, which can, in turn, affect the consciousness of others in subtle, often imperceptible ways. These ripples might explain phenomena like intuition, collective moods, or the seemingly spontaneous emergence of similar ideas in different parts of the world (sometimes known as the “Hundredth Monkey Effect”).

    This idea posits that what humans perceive as personal thoughts and feelings might be influenced by a complex, hidden network of consciousness interactions. Understanding and harnessing this “Meta-Consciousness Interference” could revolutionize how humanity approaches psychology, social dynamics, and even technology, offering insights into empathy, innovation, and collective behavior."

    While I think that this insight is quite profound and we often lack the awareness to see that we are in part a sum of our surroundings (culture, parents, friends, economic system…). I don’t think it is as revolutionary I hoped it would be.
