It's about how to spoil a domain name...
And let’s assume you’re aware of everything happening around you.
This brings us to our next point: You realize something isn’t right in your life.
Changing something, even taking a single step toward change, requires significantly more energy than you might expect. Even just making the decision to change is itself a burden.
Because change inevitably pushes you outside your comfort zone. And often, it’s impossible to predict the outcomes of this change.

Digital technology may turn out to be the harshest trick this era will play on us.
Everyone has their own opinion about this topic, so let me share mine as well.
If your job involves using a computer, soon enough a better, faster, and cheaper version of you will replace you.
Yes, I’m tired of repeating this too, but the object you see in the mirror is closer than it appears… (a shout-out to Jurassic Park)

Most of us are having difficulty naming the era we live in. I’ll try to explain the situation briefly.
Of course, I’m directing this primarily to those whose awareness is somewhat higher than most.
Let’s take a look at a few new concepts our age has given us

Scientists, with “nothing better to do,” significantly reduce a mouse’s dopamine levels through chemical and/or genetic methods. Thus, the mouse loses the motivating force of “reward expectation.”
The result? The mouse can’t be bothered to eat the cheese right in front of it and ends up starving to death.
We have entered the final 25 years in which everything will descend into utter chaos. May it be favorable for all of us.
Let’s take a look at where we stand globally, calling it the “Story so far.”

The most defining feature of being an alcoholic comes from drinking regularly. To avoid falling into this situation, I drink at irregular times, morning and evening. I feel at ease.

Are you proud of your empathy skills? I have some bad news for you; the validation of your empathy is still done according to your own truths. Thinking otherwise, claiming it’s not limited by your subjective truths, is quite difficult.

A beloved elder of mine sent this message as a comment on a podcast in a WhatsApp group recently:
“Another civilization has launched numerous simulations in search of a solution that will last forever, and we are inside one of them.”
At first, it’s a difficult comment to digest; it takes effort to believe, to accept this idea.
Once we stop considering ourselves the center of the world, even this thought becomes a plausible scenario.
Let’s assume we are living in a simulation and the purpose of this simulation is to find a formula that extends life.
Looking at the general trend, the simulation seems to be working towards its intended goal. Everyone is trying to extend their life, exploring all possible means. We advance technology and attempt to decode our DNA.
The science fiction we watch (which has always guided science and technology) works to convince us of the possibility, perhaps even motivating us to think along these lines.
The era we live in, with rapid technological advancements, everything accelerating at an incredible pace, all moving towards chaos… I’m not saying it’s an exception, but we must acknowledge that we’re not living in normal times.
Assuming for a moment that this theory is true, everyone suddenly realizes they are lab rats. If you found out this was real and you were just an actor in the simulation, what would you do?
Here comes my favorite part; I would keep doing whatever I am doing right now. Since the “Grand Goal” doesn’t matter much to me, I would continue to do what is expected of me as an actor, bound by the possibilities of “free will.”
We shouldn’t worry too much about it.
The genie from the magic lamp asked you: “What do you want?”
If you hesitate even when answering your first wish, you are probably at an age where you have learned that everything you wish for will have some consequences, or you have some experiences.

Sometimes I get annoyed when things I’ve been saying for 20 years become hyped. It’s a weird kind of ego dissatisfaction, the indigestion of not being able to say “I told you so”.
Anyway, let’s still discuss the topic.
Dear NVIDIA is overjoyed that its stock has almost quadrupled in the last year and has embarked on new projects.
This isn’t a technology blog, but if you keep reading, you’ll see where I’m going with this.
“Digital Twins”? This idea rings a bell…
They didn’t eat or drink, they decided to create a replica of our world in the digital environment. Digital twin can be summarized as a virtual presentation synchronized with physical objects, people, or processes.
So, in the last year and a half, where technology has really gone off the rails, we’ve almost gotten used to receiving new news every week, I can say.
But this idea shows me that we are living in a simulation of what we already live in, and we are one step closer to creating a simulation within a simulation.
Let’s take a look;
1- Apple has taken VR to the next level with Vision Pro.
2- Sora and OpenAI have proven they can create extremely realistic videos.
3- ChatGPT, Claude 3, Gemini: They have reached a point where they can answer questions and generate ideas with a much larger knowledge base than we have.
4- Boston Dynamics has completed R&D for robots that can be used when intelligence is ready.
And right now, many companies are perfecting the production of 3D views of 2D objects with AI.
Of course, there’s also the general goal of artificial intelligence that everyone is working on. When we achieve that, it will be a feather in the cap of all these developments.
When I first saw ChatGPT, the first thing I told my closest friend who showed it to me was, “As humanity, we are not ready for this,” 1.5 years ago.
With the momentum we’ve reached, there’s a new development every week. Keeping up with the news has become a job in itself.
In less than 10 years, everyone will live in a virtual environment, wearing helmets, glasses, lenses, whatever technology has become compact.
Those who agree to have a chip implanted in their heads will begin to feel anything that touches the five senses in the virtual environment as if it were real. 30 years from now, just as boys are offered the option of circumcision at birth, the option to implant a chip will come.
Thanks to “Digital Twins”, in 5 years, humanity may have the opportunity to do something as individuals within a simulation, purified from the evils of real life.
All this is okay. Then comes the ultimate question in my mind, what about in 50 years? When we start living in a reality where we can’t distinguish between real and virtual? Let’s say 100 years to be safe.
Then, who can say we’re not living on the digital side of “Digital Twins” right now? Maybe what we’re experiencing happened 500 years ago, and we’re just repeating the years 1900-2100 over and over?
Well, that’s a problem. Actually, you could have thought of this at any point in time and applauded yourself for a science fiction topic. But when someone announces “Digital Twins” right in front of your eyes, it makes you stop and think.
At least, I think about it…
