I have had so many paranoid thoughts this week because of new meds its insane. I was up 2 nights thinking this all was fake and i am the only real person.
I know how u feel, take advice from the people here and stop reading all that stuff and do something grounding

All of you younger folks are obsessed with technology.
Of course you are real and not a simulation.
Computers have come a long way in a short amount of time but they havenât been around that long.
My first job in the Navy I had a typewriter. Sure. We had computers but the server for them was in a room as big as a large living room.
I didnât get my first windows computer until I was 25 in 1995.
Before windows computers were very useless and needed tons of programming to do simple tasks.

Somebody mentioned a theory that our entire universe exists inside a super massive black hole, so I guess it isnât that much of a stretch of logical thinking to think we all exist in a simulation.
I think theyâre just making stuff up at this point.

This is one of my ongoing issues, getting too wrapped up in thinking nothing is real. I dont understand reality. But yeah best to put down the philosophy books and do something physical. I like to go to the gym when i start feeling bad like this. Might not make the thought go away but it becomes less invassive

I didnt have a cell phone until i was 16, we got a computer when i was 12. Im definitely glad i got to have a childhood before cell phones. I was always outside playing and riding my.bike. All the kids i know just stay inside and play video games. All my nieces and nephews want as gifts is gift cards to buy things on roblox or new gaming systems.

The closest thing we have to a simulation is Disneyland. The Disneyland imaginary is neither true or false: it is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate in reverse the fiction of the real. Whence the debility, the infantile degeneration of this imaginary. Itâs meant to be an infantile world, in order to make us believe that the adults are elsewhere, in the ârealâ world, and to conceal the fact that real childishness is everywhere, particularly among those adults who go there to act the child in order to foster illusions of their real childishness. If my choices are put me in a Disneyland simulation where I have a lot of self actualizing opportunities where my needs are met with a whole bunch of made up garbage that gets pounded in my head everyday all day versus living in the jungle according to jungle law I choose the simulated reality every time.
Sure. I guess. I remember in high school.
I took clerical practice and typing.
Good class for guys. I was the only guy in either of those classes.
I remember having to type like ten lines of programming to get the computer to ask someone. âWhatâs your name?â
And it had no clue what to do with that information. Completely useless. Typing and learning 10 key were good skills though.
I got suspended for telling my typing teacher she would look just like Hitler if she trimmed her mustache a bit more.

It would be a sucky simulation.
Everyone prays on each other, animals eat animals in order to survive (predators). We also eat animals (cows, fish etc). We have to wear clothes in order to survive in climates. We have to constantly work otherwise we lose control and become homeless, or die. We get sick, some starve to death and others take their own lives. There is birth witch is very painful.
Then thereâs the constant doubt. About life, god and ourselves.
There is only anxiety and pain!
Nope, donât believe itâs a simulation. Life sucks too much for it to be one!
Are u sure because we are part of that jungle law
