      Error 404: runtime error. Previous question removed for violating integrity of the simulation. 😉

      Personally no, but I’ve actually always wanted to write a book based on this idea!

      I used to play The Sims a lot while I was growing up and I’d occasionally have moments where I’d wonder what life would be like if we were in The Sims and someone else was controlling us and making our decisions for us. You end up falling down a rabbit hole of cool ideas 😂

      Sometimes I can get a feeling of being in something like “The Truman Show” where everyone else are actors and everything is set up for/against me… and sometimes I think about how weird it is that you can never REALLY know that other people are conscious and experience things like you do (e.g. why am I me, why am I seeing the world through my eyes, and am I inside my brain?).

      I don’t think I’m in a simulation but, I don’t really know how to describe where I am instead!

      Yes, I think the whole universe is a simulation or a small part of something much larger. My area of study is Virtual Reality, so the whole aspect of what is real and not real is fascinating to me. Give me the red pill any day.
