I still have to go to work tomorrow? Other sim people are relying on me? My letting them down may not be real but the mental pain I'm imagining appears real
I've since matured a lot after being here a few years. I've abandoned all alternate theories to explain things/the universe, etc.
You know, once meme hit home with me. It said (to paraphrase), We create conspiracy theories about who's really in control because we find comfort knowing someone or something has control. In stark reality, the answer is a lot scarier! Because nothing and no-one has ever been in control. Earth's evolution has always been guided by brute military force and organized chaos.
I accept that now. I'm comfortable with it.
I agree, it doesn't make any practical difference. We are left to experience our experiences, whatever the cause may be.
I happened to watch a video about this kind of thing yesterday. I found it extremely interesting.
