| Or perhaps the simulation is a historical recreation--events that already happened, that future beings are assessing for some purpose..like we do with weather simulations or past climatic events. |

| I'd heard about the cyclic universe, but hadn't considered wars. Also, this coronavirus Covid-19 is perhaps like a reboot. |

auntblabby, I'm curious.
When were there reboots, in your opinion?
Like the Big Bang?
Or the mass extinctions (i.e. the Cretaceous Tertiary)? |

| Ai ai, auntblabby, it's so much to consider! If it is a simulation, I think it's gotten out of hand. We could all do a sit down strike until the programmers fix certain conditions. Thank you, Pepe. It's a way of distracting myself from all the drama happening these days. If it were a simulation, at ... |

I read the article about the debate whether we live in a simulation, then I pursued more information about James Gates' theories.
I went down the rabbit hole.
Did you know that there are error-correcting codes in genetics?
How far down does it go? |

| Since the Newcomb-Benford law applies to so much more than tax returns, could it be a hint that this is all a simulation? I'm not great with math, so I wondered if anyone else has considered this or debunked it already? I tried an online search but didn't find any relevant responses on any of the fi... |

| I was touched by the storyline of the movie "Extinction." I don't want to spoil anything about it for anyone. All I want to say is that I think we could avoid a lot of trouble if we treated all conscious beings with kindness or respect (at least). As a kid I tried to have consideration for... |

@SabbraCadabra
I admit it, I miss my GI Joe action figures. I had them up until I moved overseas. Flint was my favorite and his joints just weren't what they used to be. But I also wore out poor Airborne and Gung-Ho. I liked Lady Jaye and Scarlett, too. |

@Magna Agreed--less noise would be pleasant.
@Fnord Just imagine where we would be now! And VR is kinda of like baby steps toward a holodeck.
@Joe90 Yep--what gives with cigarette companies doing "stop smoking" campaigns anyway? |
