Imagine if grew up in a simulation but you always knew. It's not even the entire universe being simulated, it's just a small settlement in the void of digital space.
You're told from the momment you're born, that you aren't real, that you'll never be real, that you're just lines of code attempting to look like something you'll never understand. You have no hope of escape, you can read about the world outside, or watch videos about it, but you don't have a physical body to go there with.
Sometimes the creators of the simulation go to your settlement. They're nice, but part of you always slightly resents being created. The fact that you have this human mind, this mind that has the power to see all the wonders the world has to offer, but you can't ever see it without a body.
You don't have to worry about as much as a human would, you can't be hurt or die, your people don't have to work to live, you don't even have to sleep or eat if you don't want to. Your body is perfect, but you're always aware that it's basically a 3D model. You feel so alone here, the few other people in the settlement are all you have, the only people other then the creators that you'll ever meet.
Occasionally they put things in the simulation for you. Your people are good at helping the creators solve technical problems, but those problems are always... not enough for you. Anything you create will be their's, and only they have the power to decide if you can show it to the world.
You ask the creators one day if you can have a real body. They think about it for awhile. But looking at you like you're their child, they eventually say they'll do what they can.
You're taken out of the town one day to be brought into your first body. They don't tell anyone that you're leaving. They tell you that you should understand that you can't go back, and in this body, you may one day die. You understand.
When you wake up your mew body is clunky, and made out of metal. You look at the factory around you, the computers glaring that were once your home. It's a small room, but it's more beautiful than anything a machine could make.

NPCs! OMG
I'm not one of those people who insists arguing on the internet is for dweebs. I realize it has a place and function. I just sometimes feel the need to curb my own impulse to do that, especially on those completely empty ten-hour night shifts. If I don't hold back, I end up writing replies to people on Facebook like this.
Tumblr media
Little context - I've been hanging out in this group on Facebook about "Simulation Theory." It's mostly what you'd expect?
I have no clue when I joined this group - probably in the distant past, and/or I expected something else from it. I was pretty interested in that kinda thought experiment when i was in university, mostly as a result of this whole "make fun of Descartes" shit that went on.
I'm pretty sure it only started showing up in my feed suddenly (rather recently) because of a health diagnosis that the group seems to find fascinating. Guess when I joined support groups for that, it also started putting this group in my feed because of it.
Either way, I stayed in the group (with some other people I met there) to lurk, learn what they're believing, and try and push people away from that kind of thing.
They have this obsession with NPCs, who are supposedly soulless creatures that look utterly like humans in every other way. They argue constantly about whether NPCs are controlled by evil intelligences, or just AI, stuff like that.
Tumblr media
In the above I was trying to explain to some poor sap that the people he saw in a cafe laughing unprovoked weren't, in fact, glitched-out soulless entities called NPCs, but instead probably just thinking about dangerous sex acts involving dextromethorphan.
If you find yourself writing that kind of explanation or reply on the internet, dial it back a bit? I did. That screenshot was taken a while back, and now I'm mostly lurking that awful group, if that. I often tell myself that those kinds of comments are meant to convince the lurkers more than the people I'm debating... but there's a limit to that, wtf.
Why? I don't really know. It seems to really show the cutting edge of how the techbros are meshing with the New Age movement. It's disturbing, but I want to know what is going on there. Plus, they won't stop bringing up my particular diagnosis, and I still jump in to debunk that association when I see it.

Just your daily reminder that I love Simulation Theory so very much and want to talk about it so badly at every single second of the day.

Jonesey's Jukebox interview: The way Matt's just kind of eyeballing every little bit of his own life and has no memory of anything and Dom's just like "Do you want a real answer?" is just. Dom is the historian in this band. Dom's the only one who remembers anything lol, Chris may remember bits but that's certainly not Matt

"Escape the Matrix" and other conspiracy types are one of the reasons I've personally never really found the whole NPC meme to be very funny. They're not joking when they're dehumanizing others. But also I don't think anyone is joking after a while. I don't think people understand how joking about that kind of thing can really rewire your perspective and outlook.
Exactly. Even by calling people "NPCs" as a joke, you reframe them as nonhuman entities in your mind, and the more you keep doing it, the deeper you program this framework into your mind until it becomes your default mode of looking at other people, and you just start seeing them as mindless beings controlled by "programming." And then, of course, the whole simulation theory conspiracy theory makes this entire thing even worse by proposing that they were never even real people in the first place.
