Every religion/cult/screaming guy wearing posterboard has an end-of-the-world scenario. What’s the best one?

      I love that show. And unless the original, human, “others” are aware of the whole thing, that is, if the humans are trapped in their own minds/bodies, then I think the pluribus effect is a net positive. Pretty much all human suffering has ended. To rollback the whole thing is to create an incalculable amount of suffering.

        I love the way you put it in that last line.

        Early abrahamic philosophers go over the god question like this, basically saying that if God/Yahweh/Allah exists and is all-powerful and doesn’t stop suffering, then he can’t possibly be good. Other religious philosophers figured life is a soul building experience, therefore the net good of making positive choices is greater than if everything was perfect by default.

        The way the problem is set up in Pluribus is insanely well done.
