    and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?

    none of it really matters does it, especially because you can’t know if it’s possible to leave/exist outside. as far as you know this life is still the only thing that is certain

      If it’s a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.

      Praying obviously doesn’t work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.

      And they could make things suck less.

        That’s assuming the someone running the simulation is even aware we are here. For all we know, they’re just trying to model out the behavior of stars and black holes.

        If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

        Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.
