me:  the stars are beautiful tonight

you: yeah

me:  you know what else is beautiful

you: (blushing) what?

me:  the moon.  the planets.  the rest of the galaxy.  i fucking love space

Earth as Viewed From 10,000 Miles

“On November 9, 1967, the uncrewed Apollo 4 test flight made a great ellipse around Earth as a test of the translunar motors and of the high speed entry required of a crewed flight returning from the Moon. A 70mm camera was programmed to look out a window toward Earth, and take a series of photographs from “high apogee.” Seen looking west are coastal Brazil, the Atlantic Ocean, West Africa and Antarctica. This photograph was made as the Apollo 4 spacecraft, still attached to the S-IVB (third) stage, orbited Earth at an altitude of 9,544 miles.” (Image credit: NASA)

“And the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.”

We are Living In The Matrix - Your Life is a COMPUTER SIMULATION 2015

Is life as we know it a computer simulation? It sure would seem like it is. But is it plausible? Are our lives and everything around us just a made up place controlled by something far greater than we are?

Here are 10 reasons how life is a simulation:

10. Ancestor Simulators

Could there be some other power or civilization that’s using what we call “life” as a personal entertainment module? Could humans, this galaxy, and the infinite amount of space around us just be a game? We play games like that. Sid Meyer’s Civilization is one. You are the overlord and you can control and manipulate things at your own discretion. You are simulating life for the “people” in the game. That is a simulation of how you would want things in your own world.

9. If Someone Can, They Will

Could people on this planet and in this realm of understanding be able to simulate this “life” and all that is in it? Absolutely not. Humans are far too low on the scale of intellect to be able to do something like that. If you rule that out then you have only one real option: there must be a higher force that’s able to and willing to use what we call “life” as a play thing or expendable assets for the sole reason of finding out how to make the perfect “life” for all.

8. Visible Flaws

One thing that you have to ask is: assuming there is a higher power behind that, how do you explain what’s going on today? We all have heard or have used the term “glitch in the matrix.” That’s exactly what it is. If this “life” is a simulation like The Matrix then everything that you can think of: weather, war, health, nature, EVERYTHING, are all just glitches that are introduced to see how we as humans deal with them. It’s the ultimate trial and error.

We all have cases of deja vu and nobody can understand the phenomena. Could deja vu be our brain’s way of seeing visible flaws in the simulation?

Is deja vu the glitch in the matrix?

7. Math Makes Up Life

Almost everything today is run by computers and computers run on math. There are mathematical equations that can prove almost anything. If “life” is a simulation, then by definition, “life” is a math problem. Math is the source for how the simulation works.

6. The Anthropic Principle

The Anthropic Principle asks one simple question: Why did conditions work out so well for us and not for other planets?

Whatever the higher power is: God, a super race, etc., had to have designed this simulation for us as humans to live in. What would be the point of creating a simulator if both us and they wouldn’t learn something?

5. Parallel Universes

If there is a higher power running the simulation, do you think that this universe would be the only one? Assume there are other universes. Could humans be just the same as we are now? And how many others could there be? The answer has no limits. In other universes any variable, no matter how insignificant, is changed to see how we and our “clones” deal with it. The “life” we live in right now is just one of countless ways “life” can be lived.

4. Fermi’s Paradox

Fermi’s Paradox can be summed up like this: Where is everybody?

To date there hasn’t been one shred of evidence of life on any other planet or anywhere in this universe. Could that be proof that this is just a simulation? In another parallel universe, Earth could be vacant and Neptune could be inhabited. See the point? Where is everyone? It’s just us.

3. God Is A Programmer

In the Bible it says God created everything in six days and rested on the seventh. Could God, or whatever higher power there is, have used computers to simulate everything? Could God be programming our current exist right now? But why would God do that? Again, it’s the same reason: to see how we adapt. Just like any game or story, you have your protagonist, your antagonist and supporting characters in between. On another parallel universe the good guys here could be the bad guys there and vice versa.

2. Outside The Universe

If you could take a knife and slice open the space around you what would be there? Are parallel universes that thinly separated? Could this universe and everything in it be the only universe? What would we find if we went outside of it? Would we indeed find other universes? Would we see ourselves doing vastly different things? Maybe in another universe it is possible to suspend an elephant to a cliff with it’s tail tied to a daisy.

1. Fake People Make For Easy Simulations

Since we really can’t prove or disprove any of this, let’s assume for a minute that “life” is a simulation. Can things change when we blink our eyes? Could blinking be changing the variables of nature and the world around us? It’s hard to comprehend but maybe it is all a simulation in every aspect, in every way, for everyone.

I’m a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I’m lazy, yet I’m ambitious. I don’t like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don’t care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I’m a conflicted contradiction. If I can’t figure myself out, there’s no way anyone else has.
