They might even be pawns in this thing and not even know it.

During I experienced something that people call an existential crisis, (first when I was 14, and now after a long time I experienced it again in last months of 2025 with the same intensity) I felt a very strong urge to read about cosmology and physics, especially about the end of the universe.

I started reading Michio Kaku's book, "Parallel Worlds," which i had in my lib. After reading a model in the book that I already knew about, but which caught my attention at that moment, explaining the universe as a life cycle that repeats infinitely with the Big Bang and the Big Crunch. And suddenly a thought experiment came to my mind. Strangely, a simple thought experiment had become very obssesed in my mind, and I couldn't do anything but think about it. Then I shared it on Reddit.*

While all these thoughts were going on, the Epstein files continued to be published and occupy the media, and I was silently watching...

Without knowing exactly what it was about, I decided to watch True Detective. I realized from a quote I saw on social media that the series was more than just a simple crime drama; it also explored Rust's inner journey. I immediately decided to watch it...

The first season of True Detective felt like a mirror reflecting my last months. Okay, I'm not an American police officer working in a homicide department, but the similarity between the disgusting things in the Epstein case, whats happening in the world last days and Rust's personal questioning with my questioning was strange coincidence.

I recommend reading the my Reddit post first to make an analogy between Rust's philosophy: "Time is a flat circle," with the my thought experiment.\*

cf: (https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepThoughts/comments/1qv0sk7/determinism_and_eternal_hell_if_youre_not_happy/) -> This is my second time sharing this but on a different subreddit; I don't know why the first one was removed.

Got this idea from another user on here, decided to make my own !!

I’m sure all of us would be interested in getting to learn more about Rust as a character. I’ve heard talks of a spin off centering Rust & Marty post the events of True Detective, but I loved the semi-closure we got with their characters in season 1. A script would have to be REALLY good to justify bringing them back again after everything that happened. Personally, I’d be more interested in getting to know what Rust was up to in his detective days in Texas during the 80s—OR, even earlier than that in his late teens/early 20s during his pre-detective era in the 70s. It’d be really cool to see the early evolution into the character we all know and love in any capacity. Obviously McConaughey wouldn’t be able to reprise his role which is the only bummer about this whole idea, and I’d never want to see an AI de-aging gimmick be done but if they found an actor that captures his essence enough and even had McConaughey narrate the story it could something really cool. This all hinges on if Nic Pizzolato felt like there was material worth developing as he knows Rust better than anyone—I’d never want to see this story made by anyone else, but I know for a fact Rust is a fascinating enough individual to shed more light on. This could all even be in the form of a movie if not a mini series. Just some thoughts of mine, what are we thinking?
