'claim'
Lmao that's a strong word for an off-the-cuff conversational riff you saw on social media.

In what sense?
You can't keep secrets from the future.
Heard that once in a song about how all encryption is doomed to break against future math/computing power. Great eery phrase.
Nooooooo
hahahah right? I was like 'uh...I don't think that's where all the money's disappearing to my guy...'
whaaaaaaaa this is so tight. I use an interactive session as a calculator on my pc and always wish there was a way to refer to the last result.

Sad little human. I have written my treatises into the warp and weft of reality itself. I have twisted my curiosity into the folds of your DNA and stamped my waxing madness into the ragged edges of the telomeres that mark your days as numbered. I have made of the stars a celestial QR code that burns across the skies of every planet, that burns across the eyes of every ape who stares into the night and asks "why?". I announced The Work with a bang of gas and light and awe and set time itself into motion so my scripture could expand eternally into the infinite, benighted expanse.

questions about identity are so damn interesting. Like what exactly is being referenced when we say "Sarah" or "Coco-Cola" or "Spain"?

I think if humans had visible UUIDs they would still only account for a part of our understanding of a person's identity. If you could make utterly perfect copies of people like you can with objects and they only differed by their UUID...how different would those two people be really? How many people for example would be happy to replace a dead loved one with such a copy?
An easy example is not paying income tax. Some illegals work for cash because they're undocumented and so pay no income tax. When that person uses public stuff like roads and local dog parks and anything that's ultimately paid for with taxes, they're taking benefits and not paying back into the system.
Whether or not we might want to deport someone or otherwise punish them for this "freeloading" is a separate question, but I don't think there's much of an argument to say that no amount of freeloading is happening at all.
