Old. Seriously who hasn't read this by now.


I see what you did there. You're saying that if one of us read it we all did. Because we're the egg. Brilliant.


Who hasn't written it?


Honestly I have read this before too but it was in a 4chan screenshot, know I know it's just copypasta


Unless it's had seven billion hits, I'd say a few people haven't. I was one of them.


I haven't, for one.


Do souls have cryptographic hashes?


If so maybe they should change the hash function, according to this short story billions of collisions have been found.


Assuredly they do. It's intriguing you replied with this comment to the guy that will probably bring that to pass for all software processes.


I know exactly who I asked this of, and that's why I asked it of him.


That would imply we're all thinking the same thing then. That continues to be interesting to me.


That we could all be considering a concept that has, even if true, a statistically insignificant measurable signature?

    God: Oh yes, yes! Souls... I remember those. Great idea at the time. Yeah, I wrote those a loooong time ago. They're causally insignificant now, I'm pretty sure. Obviously it's all automated by now.
Or something Stephensonian, like the protofestering of a fledgling clan of digital spiritalists secretly brooding over the core belief-set of Hackerdom as it is scripted?


whom*, you baboon.


I haven't either. Go back to Reddit.
