I'm a huge believer that we're living in a simulation, and we're all getting initial roles in it, gradually changing our type of let's say character. But even if you believe that you're living within some kind of simulation, that doesn't mean you're able to fully understand the concept of the simulation itself or what rules it's based on. It could be easily a "single-player" situation, or it could be a matrix-like network. So far nobody has been able to convince me that it's impossible.

One person tho made me think about our lives differently: What if this simulation one of many, runs at an undefined speed, and it's a test model for potential outcomes? Now I'm thinking about it A LOT, and you know what, that crazy shift that happened 5 years ago looks extremely artificial to me, like a not-very-subtle change of scenario.

Somewhere next door that could be a simulation where this craziness never took place.
