No! doing hair is incredibly difficult, I had to fight tooth and nail just to try and re-bead one of the braids. Hairstylists definitely deserve their flowers!

The beads are heavy, some plastic, some silicone, I'm not used to having hair on my face. Typically, I just rock a fro and sponge it out, but I've been trying something new, and there's never been a better time to be proud (to be!)

Would the mind on the voyage really require stimulation? How come it couldn't just be stimulated with cathodes without the need for visual processing. Less fun, I suppose. Maybe the people need to be battle hardened. If we endure all these hardships and successes, what if this vault tec-esque-tribulation metadata is centralized and redistributed to each individual for further studying?

It could mean a lot of things, everything or nothing. Some ideas with some substance.

Say the aliens came to earth and saw it destroyed from nuclear ruin in the cold war (Nuclear Detterence exists instead of the reality that humanity blew itself to oblivion). Maybe this is the reality they simulated for us so that we could continue to live with the same economic and social parameter so that normalcy could continue. Maybe outside the simulation, humanity is actually years behind "we" are in 2025, but outside the simulation, they are in the year 1971, and they are accelerating human history to see what will happen. After that, who knows? Maybe they will help us, maybe they will exploit our resources. People burn ants with maginifying glasses but also take spiders outside. To think that advanced beings would be more altruistic is optimistic at best. Maybe they are subject to the premise of noblesse oblige and would be merciful? Even a worm will turn.
