Continuing my “have you ever…?” series: Have you ever wondered if you, all your memories of past experiences, and all of the universe were actually created last Thursday? I haven’t.

Bertrand Russel did. He’s an early 20th century philosopher that I’ve never read. I’m not going to be the one to say it, but the entire concept that drove the Matrix films was stolen from Russel’s philosophy of “last Thursdayism”.

You’re right, I guess I did say it. It.
