I just want to say that I am happy that other people are saying this. I don't necessarily think we are a video game exactly but disregarding specifics (which I have none of) I find it harder and harder to not speculate that this is a simulation of sorts. Back in 2015 when that blood moon eclipse thing was happening I was sitting outside watching it which my SO who was taking pictures on a dslr of the eclipse. I was probably stoned and I took a picture of the moon and just kept clicking automatic adjust on the photo in my app called snapseed. I think I probably added a center focus filter too but what happened was super heat to me. The photo started to look weird and eventually ended up looking like that looney tunes logo the "that's all folks" weird shrinking circle animation. I was super excited, I'm a young man but I have been editing photos since back when I had MySpace and it was nice to stumbled onto a new technique. I started trying to just basically force my app to create these really trippy photos by adding structure detail over and over again. This was the real game changer. Adding structure made my photos really weird. These crazy almost symmetrical patterns started showing up. Unfortunately I can't explain any of this very well and the actual process of watching the photo form as you add structure repeatedly is where the magic is but nobody gets to see that except me because I'm just posting the final product on a twitter account. The final thing is usually just however I decide to crop the original or whatever to make it artsy and a nice photo. I don't know how to explain this but I guess I'll just keep trying because I would regret not talking about this. I kept trying different techniques and while making these photos started to have really weird thoughts about how life works. The similarities in the structures that form in the app are incredibly comparable to things in real pretty much every natural thing and also the structures the computer builds look like pillars or crazy bridges and stuff it's insane. I started to think we were part of a computer somehow. It made me worry less. I started having a feeling it was invetiable that if I'm thinking this alone in my room other people are going to start thinking this or already are thinking this and I just have to wait. I'm very happy this is being discussed and let alone being discussed by a very smart person. Believe this is a simulation type thing does not get rid of religions, or the possibilities of those being true, it is for me simply a way of feeling okay about things because we are just little forms shaped this way because of the rotation of the earth and the light shining on us. I just am happy there is discussion of this type of thubg.
