It's odd how everyone just accepts what we see looking outward into the 'universe' as established reality without ever being able to actually verify if what we are looking at isn't just a highly sophisticated hologram. A hologram would serve the purpose of keeping all us hairless apes thinking we are just floating around on a single grain of sand in a system larger than the Pacific Ocean. Quite handy for keeping us in perpetual existential crisis, and thereby in the architect's total control.

I feel like astrophysicists are doing the equivalent. Not saying they shouldn’t try though …
