What if..

What if..
What if our reality as we know is just.. some sort of really advance simulation and we are just here just enjoying the experience. What if we are hooked up to some sort of matrix like machine so in turn when we die we are out of this existence and do something and only to return.. just as thought that is all.

RE: What if..
There's this set of movies what fleshes this out in a way...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Good catch; most people didn't catch the metaphysical subtext of the Legally Blonde movies. The way Reese Witherspoon played a body that thought she was at Harvard Law School but was actually a battery hooked up to a machine in a simulated consciousness was incredible.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

I read a book this... Forget the name, but it was pretty good...
Everything (almost everything) is made of atoms, and atoms are made of quarks, right?
What if quarks are made of universes? And inside those universes are more universes?
That means we are made up by universes and we are part of a universe, that makes up a quark in an atom in a larger universe, and so on.

That statement sounds dangerously familiar.


The matrix theory is nice and all, but there's one question... why the simulation? If someone else is profiting from us, wouldn't it be better to just put us in a coma? Why bother and create a whole reality?

Wasn't it obvious in the end though, in the scene where she figures out the thing with whether that other woman had gotten a perm or not? That was such a transparent metaphor for her sudden insight into the philosophical consequences of transhumanism.

If I had to pick any "creator" scenario, the simulation hypothesis wins by a country mile.

Of course, either way, the Zionists make a mess.
