This is why I laugh at anyone who thinks we "Already know anything" or ever will
Just say everything is a simulation and it makes a tech employee sound like a keeper of secret divine knowledge that lords over everyone else.
At this point I take Simulation Theory about as seriously as someone saying "So, Creationism, but like, with a few more steps and a sci-fi horror twist!"
It says a lot that so many bazinga brained "simulation theory" enthusiasts want the billionaires to "hack/crash" the supposed simulation either to escape it or for the lulz. Death cult with extra steps.
I mean I would like to escape the simulation, or at least match it, maybe add some mods to change some of the characters around. I think the quality of the simulation would be improved if I was a large breasted tiger lady with an ass that just won't quit
That's personal desires which are cool and good, not the "dae le elon is going to cause the simulation's first server lag spike by detonating a chain of le nukes in le space" death drive that so many computer touchers currently have regarding the concept.
My mind broke trying to follow the logic of someone dumb enough to think that letting Elon have nukes or randomly blowing them up in our atmosphere are a good idea or that enough explosions will crash Paper Mario in real life..
So trying to think like someone who believes all three. Hurts
It was a highly upvoted /r/WritingPrompts circlejerk on
. I hated that sub so much because 95% of its "prompts" came pre loaded with the le clever plot twist from the start so it was just /r/GhostWriting with a different name.
I hated that sub because the first time I made one. I was banned because they my prompt was homophobic and I was a white supremacist trying to stir the pot...
My prompt was about people sent to Hell, but the demons refused to punish them sensing they hadn't actually done anything wrong.
I was unbanned but the apology they gave me was backhanded and it was clear that they just didn't want to deal with the drama my ban caused anymore.
So I never posted again.
Plot twist, those mods were probably powerusers of /r/SubRedditDr!ma and the even more mask-off /r/Dr!ma that got off to tormenting (slurs) for being too not normal in their spare time.
This is just gnosticism with extra steps.
