🔍🤔 Oh great, another piece of MIT-induced #existential #dread, because we all needed to know that our lives might just be a glorified #game of #Pong. 🤖💻 Apparently, back in 1994, someone thought it was enlightening to watch #pixelated #blobs play Sims with themselves. 🕹️🎨

Is Life a Form of Computation?

Alan Turing and John von Neumann saw it early: the logic of life and the logic of code may be one and the same.

Also the main problem with #drugs and espechally the rise of #Fentanyl and #Tranq aka. #Nitrazene is solely #criminalization.

If people could legally and safely access #drugs and #care they'd definitely not use some cut-up shit!

And yes, #Fent is such a gib problem that even in #darknet #markets and #forums it's basically the one drug that gets people kicked out of i.e. #dread!

And that says something.

Fentanyl: Germany prepares for synthetic drugs crisis

Almost two weeks late with this #photography #ThingAWeek, I was on holiday and couldn't easily edit my pictures.

When I got this old #rusty #trike I got the idea of using it in a nature scene somehow, to contrast it against the greenery. I ended up trying to capture a sense of #dread, #abandonment and #decay. Initially I wanted this picture to be on a red sunset sky but nature didn't cooperate all week.

I think I would like to revisit this in the future, in a better environment and with better light conditions.
