#58: The Transhumanist's Red Pill

Crow Joe in the Age of AI comic - The transhumanist, technocrat with visible brainchip and business suit over hoodie, tries to persuade with a hand offering a red pill and saying "We're living in a simulation! Have you seen the Matrix? Take the Red Pill Crow Joe!" Crow Joe the blues playing crow responds "The reality of the blues is a bitter pill to swallow." These are opposing perspectives on the nature of reality.  Crow deflects the unfalsifiable red pill claim of the transhumanist by focusing on the true lived experience of the blues.  The simulation debate is irrelevant to Crow Joe's life
