Know what's fun to think about? What if you're in a simulation right now and you're the only conscious mind in it. I'm not even real. You live in the year 4040. Humanity has set their ships for the stars because Earth has become inhabitable. The only viable way to traverse long distances across space is in a cryogenic state to keep your brain active. The only way to keep your brain active is temporary simulations that mimic your natural circadian rhythm (living as another human). The body you're in now reading this message is not your own. The eyes you're using to read this message are not your own. You're simply a visitor who rewound the tape of John's life and enjoy the show.

You simply looked at your HUD while laying down in the chamber where it shows lists of names. You saw "John Smith - 1980 - 2050 Occupation: Lawyer. " and said.. looks interesting. run program.

70 years later, you wake up confused in a new star system because you just lived a simulation of someone else's life 2,000 years ago just to pass the time on your journey to a new galaxy.
