Brown, MIT shooting suspect ID’d as Claudio Neves Valente — after shooting himself in storage facility

 https://nypost.com/2025/12/18/us-news/brown-university-shooting-suspect-found-dead-inside-new-hampshire-storage-facility-after-six-day-manhunt-reports 

Is it possible that such a well educated man simply acted on a revenge impulse? Was there such a burning desire to kill a bunch of people, only to realize later the full extent of his crimes? Perhaps he thought that it was worth it, even if he would be eating prison food for the rest of his life. Did such a well educated man finally realize that despite covering most of his face, there are other biometric algorithms to eventually ID and locate him. So, was it a suicide mission and he initially chickened out? Or, did he eventually realize that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life eating prison food and occasionally being held-down by LARGE, aggressive men?

Brown University and MIT professor shooting suspect found dead

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2e14z2j9jo 

He was smart enough to study at Brown_University, but eventually became disgruntled with things. 

 https://apnews.com/article/brown-shooting-university-witness-tipster-e114eb38248e2023dcdf92a29e6c6b30 

Perhaps he was motivated by revenge against some people and the education system in general.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/brown-university-suspect-shooting-death-mit-professor-live-updates-rcna249937 

At some point he might have decided to go on a suicide mission, because after shooting a bunch of people, he knew that he would likely be facing a life of incarceration.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/12/19/timeline-brown-university-mit-shootings-search/87787521007/ 

He chose self destruction, rather than life in prison. Its very strange that an armed person with malicious intent could just walk onto a campus, attack and then easily walk away without at least being recorded by a few cameras.

The Simulation Hypothesis can be a neutral way of trying to perceive various aspects of the-universe. A creator, or an original being of pure energy and consciousness is a starting point of ponderance for many people. However, which version of the creator or creative force should one observe? That's up to each curious person to decide. 

How many versions of reality can there be in the multiverse concept? Or, is it reality just one universe with many channels or levels? There is a tendency by several people to try to fit everything into just one religion or philosophy, but that might filter a lot of things out. Enter into the echo chamber, but science also has its limitations. 

Understandably, the likes of Daniel_Dennett and Richard_Dawkins didn't want to fit everything into just one box of perception. Is there much of a difference between The_Selfish_Gene or a selfish creator? One has to think very big and very small, when trying to understand Evolutionary_biology within the vastness of Cosmology.  

https://www.reddit.com/r/SimulationTheory/comments/1kptlds/the_universe_is_suspiciously_like_a_computer/ Did the universe become like a running sentient program, or is it the direct result of a cosmic programer? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stop-asking-if-the-universe-is-a-computer-simulation

There just isn't enough data to effectively map or run an accurate simulation of the universe, so the metaphysical approach to things is just as important as the scientific approach. It's all about your level of perception and being able to openly access the data that's available.

Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation

UBCO study debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation

Sometimes just starting out small can help one to see a much larger picture of things.

Of course there is too much data to accurately simulate things on a cosmic scale, but on a city scale and a planetary scale, that's a different situation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimEarth , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Floor 

What if someone flips the switch, or pulls the plug on this world? Has it happened before?

"Beautiful World" is from Devo’s 1981 album New Traditionalists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-gbYjLd93g&list=RDE-gbYjLd93g&start_radio=1

How many times has this world been rebooted or reset?

https://answersingenesis.org/bible-questions/what-does-replenish-the-earth-mean 

https://www.bible.com/bible/compare/GEN.1.28 Perhaps it was deemed to be too unsettling that this world might be on some kind of a cosmic loop.

https://creation.com/en/articles/genesis-1-28-replenish-or-fill  


https://answersingenesis.org/bible-characters/noah/noah-after-the-flood-lessons-from-his-indiscretion/ 

https://arkencounter.com/flood/after So, whether one considers Pre-Adamite times, the flood was either the first or the second reset of this world.  


https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2021&version=NIV 

https://biblehub.com/revelation/21-1.htm Then, at this point in the story whether one considers Pre-Adamite times, a-new-earth would either be the second or 3rd reset of this world.  

https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/heaven-and-the-new-earth-from-the-bible-and-c-s-lewis 

Two or 3 reboots or resets and that's just from the Bible. 

Various cultures imply that this world is in a cyclical pattern. How many times has this world been on a loop, 4 or 5...?

The Problem with a Humanoid Robot Puppet

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j31dmodZ-5c At this point its more like a puppet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepresence#Implementation_of_human_sensory_elements

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics#Interfaces In contrast AgI can start to run circles around people and even do backflips. 

A remotely controlled robot with human intelligence behind the scenes is still just a puppet. Such tech is actually great when a person needs to do a task from another location. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics#Telemedicine

In 2009 there was the movie Surrogates in which people lived a partially remotely-controlled life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogates#Plot Each of the main characters in the story had their own lifelike haptic puppet. You are back at home with something like a GoPro 


https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/Pirates_of_the_Caribbean_(ride) 

https://www.tiktok.com/@nostalgiamountain/video/7247667085562662149?lang=en In this setup JD as Captain Jack_Sparrow never required haptic link, because its all just automatic puppetry.
