[Akira The Don, Scott Adams - Maybe Could Be Possible lyrics]
I started to feel that I may
Have discovered the user interface reality
The reason that I thought that is that my
Life was working out so well
That I couldn't explain it
In any ordinary way
I tried to become a cartoonist with no
Experience in cartooning
Without any experience
I was the hottest cartoonist in the country
At about the same time
I had written my first book
It was a number one New York Times
Runaway bestseller
With no experience at writing books
And there were a number of things
That I was touching and
Doing and it seemed as if
I could manipulate reality
But here's the thing but here's the thing
Was I manipulating reality to get
These ridiculous results or
Was I simply good at my job? How can I tell?
How would I know if
I were manipulating reality
'cause that's sort of what it felt like
But that didn't seem right, right?
Or was I just good at my
Job and I didn't realize how good I was so I
Performed better than I expected
Maybe could be
It's possible maybe
Could be it's possible
And it seemed as if
I could manipulate reality
But I wanted to test it maybe
Could be it's possible
And so, in 1997, i did a bold experiment and
The experiment was this
I very publicly and annoyingly made
A prediction and I
Chose an area in which I had no expertise
I thought I would try something
That was just impossible
I would make the most unlikely
Prediction and then wait as
Long as it took for it to become true
And if indeed I could get
The most unlikely prediction
Then maybe other people would
Believe me when I explained to them the user
Interface for reality
I predicted that in my lifetime
The theory of evolution would be
Debunked in scientific terms
Not in religious terms but
In scientific terms
You can imagine how well that went over
Obviously, I'm a nut and I
Should not be listened to
And you shouldn't listen to anything
Else I ever say
That was 22 years ago, 23 years ago
So something happened today that was a
Very big deal in my life
And it was that there was a podcast
Patrick Courrielche, he told a story
He heard of my prediction about evolution
Being debunked and then he
He brought the story into the
Question of the simulation
Now of course, if the simulation is true
Then what we believe about
Evolution probably isn't
‘Cause you don't need evolution
If you have the simulation
We just are here and our history is created
On demand whenever we go looking for it
Maybe could be
It's possible maybe
Could be it's possible
And it seemed as if
I could manipulate reality
But I wanted to test it maybe
Could be it's possible
What Patrick did is told you something
That I couldn't do myself
I couldn't tell you that my
Prediction had actually came in
I've been trying to
But I feel like I failed at it because
I'm not credible about judging
My own predictions obviously, I'm mistaken
If the simulation is true, evolution
Is, so 22 years later
There's now a competing theory
That serious scientists buy into and
Although you can't tell which one is the
True one if either one is, maybe neither
Maybe they're just filters
What you can tell is the odds
Maybe a billion to one for the simulation
Maybe could be
It's possible maybe
Could be it's possible
And it seemed as if
I could manipulate reality
But I wanted to test it maybe
Could be it's possible
So, having nailed my 22 year gamble
That I could make a prediction so unlikely
That the best explanation is that somehow I'm
Authoring the reality just as filter, again
That doesn't mean
That I can actually change reality
It means that if I put that filter on it
I get good results
And if you just think you're
Happy but you're not, are you happy?
Yes you are
If you think you're happy, you're happy
If you thought you went through
Life as a billionaire
But you were just crazy and you weren't
Still good? Still good
'Cause you're happy
You thought you were a billionaire
So, accept your subjective life
Maybe could be
It's possible maybe
Could be it's possible
And it seemed as if
I could manipulate reality
But I wanted to test it maybe
Could be it's possible
