(1/2) Anyone ever start thinking about reality being a simulation and that it's programed to convince you as much as possible it isn't?
Like when you start following this path of thinking the world will start throwing shit at you to distract you or convince you otherwise.
For example one time I thought about this for a while, debating it in my head and thinking things such as "I know this is a simulation, those who oversee it reveal yourself to me, I hope to join you." And things along those lines.
Obviously that didn't do anything but I kept trying to find more information about the possibility of reality being a simulation and dissected said information from a logical and unbiased view, correlating all the information with that of other articles etc.
After a while of my brother came into my room to talk to me about the NBA or NFL or something but occasionally I would think back to the simulation theory and zone out for maybe a few minutes.
We zoning out wasn't odd or anything since we were both on our phones and not in the middle of conversation, not was I doing anything but looking at my phone while doing so.
Almost every time I did that he would say something like "hey are you ok?" Or "stop doing that" I just told him something along the lines of "yeah I'm good, just thinking" the first few times it occured
But eventually I got irritated at him asking it and asked him why he keeps asking me this shit. He didn't actually give me an answer but said something like "I was just checking on, you don't have to be a dick." .
I told him that I was doing or acting in a way to warrant the question, he never answered me and he just got upset.
It eventually got to a point where I stopped talking to him and it felt like he would respond in occurrence to my thoughts of how he was merely a part of the simulation and his acting this way was odd.
I ended up going to my room after diffusing the argument and assuring him I was alright and just needed to sleep I guess.
