Vicaric crinch is a feeling triggered by something sincere, that takes itself very seriously. It's hard to pin down the content of 'virtue signalling', but it can be revealing in general. I find land acknowledgments - like what are you going to give the land back? That seems like trash talking at a certain point. O magi, think that's true, that a lot of people find te valuable. Canadians just all do it. i've got in arguments about this. Maybe not a lot, but it is the cringest thing.
David and Tamler explore the many variations of simulation theory, the view that our universe is just a computer generated model created by an advanced civilization that has reached “technological maturity.” What does the growing popularity of simulation theories reveal about contemporary life? Are any of the arguments for simulation theory compelling or are they just post-hoc ways of justifying what you already believe on faith? If we are living in a simulation, does that mean we can go around killing people? Would it change anything about how we should live? Rodney Ascher’s (Room 237, The Nightmare) excellent documentary "A Glitch in the Matrix" gets the discussion going.
Plus the return of the VBW does conceptual analysis segment - a careful, rigorous, systematic inquiry into the concept “cringe.”*
*Note: if you think the opening segment is itself cringe, that’s because we’re doing seventh dimensional Zoomer meta shit and you just didn’t get it.
