Does the idea of our universe being a virtual reality world totally terrify you? Ever since I read about the idea, I've been fascinated with it, but I wasn't scared until tonight when I had a terrifying dream (within a dream, within a dream) that was not only jarring but guided by a smug-looking woman I saw prior to falling asleep in my mind. Is this world real? Holy cow, I have no idea, but even if it's not, I say we still do our best while we're here since we can still suffer and feel joy, you know?
Plenty of modern thinkers have not discounted this possibility, and we have plenty of evidence to ponder that points toward it being true. If it is true, however, does that mean we're safer than we thought since global warming may not be real--or is our simulation the effects of global warming on a planet, thereby dooming us by definition? Argh!
