Does anyone base their lives and their worldviews around the simulation theory?

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I know one person who does. And, of course, everyone thinks he lost his marbles.

How does that person’s behavior differ from “normal”?

For example, a Christian would go to church, probably believe in hell, and pray.

I don’t even know what one would do differently if they truly believed we're in a computer.

Well, he constantly wears what I can only describe as an attempt to make a power armor straight from a 2000s live action sci-fi, constantly screams that everyone is dumb and that "The Great Observer" will free believers from this simulation, believes that if he remains hidden for a couple of minutes, police will simply lose him like this was GTA, and other dumb shit.

To be completely cynical: they'd blame the jews for hiding this knowledge from them and use it, generally, to sow distrust in the institutions we already have for supporting "non-simulation theory". (see: flat earth)
