I like the all the theories, and recently this has come in handy because FE'rs have been plagerizing theories long before Harvard.

That's a good one!
Doug Vout, RIP believed in simulation theory.

You know what's interesting is that in the second link, the first thing they say is:
I had, of course, never bothered researching Simulation Theory, but now I see that it's nonsense based on nonsense. It's the standard MO: "Spot me one miracle and I can prove the rest."
It's well worth looking up the work of physicist Stephen Crothers, who shatters the existence of both black holes and the Big Bang. You have to look around because his work is technical and you have to find one of his presentations for the general populace (although a technical background is very helpful).
I recall that in his presentation on the CMB, he discusses the fraud of the WMAP satellite that was the source for all the data here analyzed for Simulation Theory. Because the signal was expected to be extremely small, they used two copies of the detector, subtracting out noise from the detector itself which would not come through both.
They could not get any signal at all. Surprise! So what did they do? Disconnected the detectors from one another and just recorded what was actually detector noise. Voila--the Cosmic Microwave Background and, later, Simulation Theory.
Every damn rock you kick over has bullshit underneath it.
Did you know the man that just passed from the Diehold Foundation has a theory that Moses found an ancient relic that we would consider a computer. This relic," turned the Holographic universe on, and off " ( thats an extreme summary). I think you may want to check out his channel. I binge watched it.
I have respect that he was willing to update his theories based on data.
I seen a video of a preacher explaining cern to his flock. It was quite interesting. The way he described things, they were destroying the building blocks of gods house.
It very well could be gods universe, but even he has to build it from something doesnt he? Even if it turns out were some quantum simulation (would it not be fucking hilarious that when we die, our souls become fucking traffic stop lights or other "smart" ai devices. Oh man lmao. )
It doesnt really matter, we love, we feel pain, for intents and purposes this is reality and we should be able to live our lives how we want. Whatever though.
There's somewhat related to the last thing you said. I try to put up a low-key resistance to Simulation Theory. and I keep it low-key because--let's be honest--people don't want to hear about things they don't already believe.
But there's a huge problem: if we're in a simulation, then there can be no morality. At best "morality" would simply be what was arbitrated by the designers of the Simulation, and could be altered at any time in any fashion.
I've smoked hundreds of thousands of Stormtroopers and Covenant and Flood, but I don't feel bad because it was only a game. Nothing really counts. If They can persuade people that Reality itself is just a big game and nothing really counts, what then?
