    It makes no sense for it to be a simulation like a computer simulation. It’s a simulation like a dream is a simulation. Everything in the universe you observe is you. Waking up from the dream is realising this, and realising nothing exists, just being.

        Like a dream, you are just me. The floor I walk is me. The air I breathe is me. Everyone I meet, everything I feel, is just me. Nothing is real except I.

          I followed you (Egg Theory) right up until that last line.
          Slash dot? The tech website is the only real thing?

              Damn, was really hoping there was some deeper stuff I was missing. So you’re a subscriber to Egg Theory then?

                It’s called that from that little story about god talking to a recently deceased dude with the end result being that this universe is an egg?

                Awesome. I guess I’m an egg theory subscriber.

                It’s not called the Egg Theory. Its called Advaita Vedanta and it’s the oldest religion/metaphysics we have written records for.

                And it can indeed get pretty deep. You should read Shankara‘s commentaries on the Vedas.

      I think that if life is a simulation, it’s tech assisted dreaming, letting one dial in specifics for consistent experiences
