I find this theory reckless and irresponsible at best. It's based on five assumptions that cannot be tested, yet it's being treated by commenters like it should have some impact on their mental well being or life in general. Clean your room and sort your self out instead of worrying about wether or not you are in a simulation. We need you to be responsible down here on Earth and work with us to build a better future. Some people are joking about killing themselves. You are as real as you are willing to pursue meaning in your life. We need you to help us build tomorrow. If we aren't truly real, whatever that means, we can find that out together after we stop war and end hunger on the planet.
