The universe is a giant board game. Space is the board, matter is the pieces, and logic is the rules. Language is our rulebook of how we describe how the board works. You can’t separate the rules from the board; if you had a different board, the rules would be different too.
When you get to the “what ifs,” it becomes a thought experiment, not grounded in science.

Transhumanism (as a fictional genre, not as a philosophy) is about the idea that we can use technology to overcome the problems inherent to human nature, while cyberpunk is about the idea that we can’t.
I propose a new form of philosophy called “Cyberpunk Luddism.” The idea comes from reading a blog post on Kagi Small Web about Molly’s Guide to Cyberpunk Gardening. In it, they mention the interesting quote above, that I have tracked down the original source from 2009. Stephen Lea Sheppard on RPG.net
