I don't think so. The holographic universe a "projection" in the sense that the information can be thought of as living on the boundary of a given space, with the maximum entropy / information contained therein proportional to the boundary's surface area (on a quantum level, a bit is a measurement of area). But this isn't super shocking if you're aware of the idea of "light bubbles" (the generalisation to three dimensions of a light cone) which already describe the limits of how information in a region of space can propagate.
Distance was already an illusion, insofar as it represents a non-unique projection of a spacetime using purely relativistic techniques. :) But the speed of light isn't going to be got around by any of these models. If anything, the models will explain this limit better.

I wouldn't think being "right wing" would be sufficient to explain using the phrase "jewish elite".
Like, can we not treat "the people who say things like 'jewish elite' " and "people who are right wing" as being the same group?
I mean, I'm not saying they don't have an overlap
( It is probably true that P(a person is right wing | they say stuff about "the jewish elite") > P(the person is right wing) ),
but I'm concerned about the social incentives that might be created/contributed-to if they are treated as if they are the same.
... It's clearly a collaborative site with hundreds of authors, at least two of whom are right-wing authors, who have presumably got to the top being controversial and attracting attention from outside the normally quiescent community of readers talking about entropic gravity, thus convincing the algorithms their content is worth showcasing.
HERETICS, THE LOT OF THEM! BURN THE DATA CENTER WITH FIRE!!!
