But if we were, what would bother me most is that the moment I am experiencing may be just a scene, a part in a play.
Maybe my memories never happened.
My daughter's not in my eyesight right now, maybe she doesn't even exist.
Just the few minutes I've taken to write this down maybe all I've ever experienced.
I think it all stems from the brain in a vat scenarios which in one way or another have been talked about for centuries or more.
It's a mental brain virus that feeds back on itself, like religion.
Anyone can think it up and once it's thought of it's hard to put back, if you know what I mean?
Hard to unthink once you entertain the notion.
Now what happens if this all works out to the bible's version of Simulation theory? The bible described sim theory long long before the matrix made it famous.

Dualism is what magic book describes, not sim theory. The people who wrote magic book had no idea what a sim was, they believed in ghosts.
maybe check you notes or explain where i'm confused as I always understood dualism to be:
Dualism
RELIGION
WRITTEN BY: [size=undefined]
See Article History[/size]
Dualism, in religion, the doctrine that the world (or reality) consists of two basic, opposed, and irreducible principles that account for all that exists. It has played an important role in the history of thought and of religion.
In religion, dualism means the belief in two supreme opposed powers or gods, or sets of divine or demonic beings, that caused the world to exist. It may conveniently be contrasted with monism, which sees the world as consisting of one principle such as mind (spirit) or matter; with monotheism; or with various pluralisms and , which see a multiplicity of principles or powers at work. As is indicated below, however, the situation is not always clear and simple, a matter of one or two or many, for there are monotheistic, monistic, and polytheistic religions with dualistic aspects.

To me this says dualism has nothing to do with fleshed out sim theory.
Again all i did was take sim theory and say rather than be digital we are spiritual, but what is spiritual it could be a series of electrical impulses which makes us digital.. Just showing how the bible work can also work in this theory.
dualism is the creation of reality by two opposing forces.
