Did you ever feel like you're living in a simulation? What made you feel like this?
When I'm bugging out for various reasons I always think iS tHIS rEAL, OR A NIGHTMARE?? But otherwise, no. I may feel like "we're" in a simulation if I thought that everything was exactly the same everywhere, but I don't think that. Because it's not. I think being in your bubble, and thinking there's no way you could be in a bubble has a lot to do with that "we're in a simulation, bro" feeling people get.
I was having a quick dinner earlier tonight in a restaurant in a department store. A very loud, colourful, over-the-top-in-everything woman came to the entrance, stood in in front of the restaurant’s name on the wall, and started taking selfies. She then asked the hostess to take pictures of her while she did the most ridiculous poses - I was embarrassed for her. This went on for ages. Then she asked for a drink of water - which she spilled on the floor as she posed for even more pics. I was cringing by this point. Trying not to guffaw with laughter. When she had enough pics, she thanked the hostess and walked off. She didn’t even buy a cup of coffee! I was finishing up and when the hostess came with my bill, I said that she’d have to take loads of pics of me on my way out. She laughed and replied, “Instagram rules the world.”
That woman got all those pictures of her standing outside a nice restaurant solely to post online to say “Look where I’m eating! Aren’t you jealous?” When she wasn’t doing anything of the sort. It was all made up. A total lie. That’s what life is to an ever-growing amount of people now: trying to keep up with people they’ve never met on the internet who are churning out a load of absolute bullshit every single day. A simulation of life.
When I had a series of déjà vu events.
People read my mind man, like yesterday I was thinking about how hungry I was for like two hours and the second I walk outside this lady who barely ever speaks to me offers me pizza, I grab a slice and start to walk away and she's like, no no take the whole box there's so much extra...this happens all the time, it's like they have a programmed script man (puts on tinfoil hat)
