[NYCSPITZ]

I talked to a Columbia professor about this once. I was biking down the West Side, by the Hudson river...twilight approached. lo and behold. There was a makeshift stage on a hill around 96th street. A bunch of upper west side plutocrats were sitting on this hillside, sipping wine like some degenerate romans. I was like, holy fuck, what the fuck is this cocksucking bullshit? So I roll my shit up on the grassy knoll, and they were doing that spanish dance where they have those clams in each hand that clap and make noise in step with the music. Out of the approximately 150 people there, this motherfucker was standing along the baseline of the stage, about 15 feet away, with a broken pair of clams smiling like a doofus and clapping, happy as a little fucker. So I was like, what the hell is wrong with this old, nerdy wigger? The music stops and I asked about the dance style or whatever, forget what it was because this was years ago. He goes into this long rant about it, then somehow we got into a metaphysical convo. And he told me he was doing an experiment for Columbia University the last 15 years, and he had come to the conclusion that the 4th or 5th strongest possibility for reality was that it was a computer simulation. We talked about the movie the matrix for a bit. I was like, I see your point homie, and he gave me his business card...

So the next day I went to check his business card and it was sad. On one of the drop downs of his website, I think it was the about me section, he talked about his life. And he was like, man, one of my biggest regrets is the lack of communication I had with fellow human souls and the depth it lends to reality in my narrow pursuit of intellectual reality. Forget the guy's name but he was a spindly little white male, 50's or early 60s...wispy, almost einstein-esque hair. I'm gonna google him.
