I don't know if it's "probable" that our existence is a simulation (as the article suggests), but it's probably the highest probability among many alternatives, which is a distinction with a difference. My personal assumption is that some "thing" beyond what our simple minds can fathom created our universe and we're an observed experiment. But that this "thing" gives one rat's ass about us as individuals or even large groups... that I do not believe.

Sloppy code, too many bugs.
I would have introduced real warp drive much sooner. Also need a concept of life credits where you get to live longer (or better) the more life credits you collect.
Example need to be able to trade life credits for longer life or you could choose to spend them on say nice vacations etc…
Plus everyone should start at the same level or at least choose parents etc… I could go on..

I've Been thinking about it and I'm pretty sure we are a computer program. it all makes sense. however, knowing we are ina computer program doesnt really help us fiunction better in the program.
I knew it, I just knew it.... Dangit...
We live in a matrix

I think, therefore I drink.
I agree, I think we are being observed; or at least occasionally checked on/surveyed.
Maybe like a fish bowl.
Occasionally abducted for experiments.

Reality looks pretty seamless to me. Come on people this is a pretty bitching program detail wise.
That's it!!!
That's why I drink.
Also my new motto.
Too much thinking wears you (me, anyway) down. Think. Then drink. Then don't think so much. Ahhh.
You might need a drink after you see this proof that aliens have been here:

Those skulls are not so-called warped.
I knew something big was gonna happen today.
Man I wish my parents had deformed my skull like that.
That's the thing, they're not deformed.
They are reptilians from the Pleiades Star System.
I'm thinking about starting over again with just 7 pairs of identical socks so I never have to sort socks again.
That was preprogrammed to happen around now.
