Maybe I am a bit paranoid. when I went to my SSI hearing there was a stack of manilla folders higher than me standing up and my attorney was talking about some conspiracy that I had somehow been talking about that I dont even remember…and all this other stuff…
its like they knew more about me or remembered more about me than I remembered, or were putting words on me…idk…
I had this discussion with a friend of mine quite a few years back. He believed if we lived in a simulation that there may be a possible way for us to escape it, or take advantage of the code aka find exploits in the program to further what we are capable of (aka time travel etc). But here’s what I said, what if it’s impossible to escape the simulation, like what if the code is flawless in making it impossible to escape or find exploits in it. Also, what if the grass isn’t greener on the other side? As in if you escape the matrix, the outside world just sucks.
Yeah, honestly it isn’t really the best thing to indulge in conspiracy theories if you’re dx’d. Cause conspiracy theories tend to excrabate delusions in this illness.
Simulation is sometimes based on a shaky foundation. When I was solipsistic during my first episode and in years after I guess I thought the world was a simulation that I was originating. This is only half true because my mind is making a simulation of the world, but a simulation has to based on something: it is simulating something. So when someone has a simulation delusion there really does have to be an actual reality that is being simulated. Or else it wouldn’t be a simulation.
