Are We Living A Simulated Life?
Have you ever heard of Simulation Theory? Are we really living in a computer program controlled by someone who is greater than us? There's a theory that reality is merely an ultra-high-tech computer simulation. In this theory, we sim-live, sim-work, sim-love and sim-laugh. How possible is this theory?
Ever since the world began, we humans likes to question our existence and the origin of the planet we are living. We always have questions and we always seek for answers. The human curiosity is endless and this is why different theories emerge to answer how and why did we exist. Since the beginning of the enlightenment period, humans like to know if we are living in a simulated universe. We are thought to live in a simulation wherein the universe we are living in is an advanced digital construct created by those with higher form of intelligence. Are we a copy of 3D NFTs?
In the simulation theory, we are only living in a very powerful computer program. There must be someone who has a higher form of intelligence running five tabs of universes on a computer, deciding what to do in our daily lives. Philosophers even have to say that what we are seeing is not the reality. According to the Simulation Hypothesis, simply because we see the world as real doesn't mean that it is the reality.
βReality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends on what we look for. What we look for depends on what we think. What we think depends on what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.β- physicist David Bohm
So is it possible that we are only living in a computer? In a video game?
Here's how the Simulation theory works: The earliest civilization from the universe have created and developed an advanced technology. They have the capabilities to create a lot of simulations and we are the product of those. It's hard to believe and it's difficult to think that somebody is already owning us, controlling how our lives will be in this world. Could it be that fate is real and fate is someone higher than us capable of simulating our realities? Is this the reason why we are living a fucked up life and no matter how much we try to make the things work, we keep failing and it doesn't make any sense?
"Reality is an illusion"
Philosophers keep on saying that reality is just an illusion. Based on the theory of Simulation, the world may seem real to us, but it is not the actual fundamental level of reality. If we woul look closer to the text, it is very deep beyond what we understand.
If ever the simulation theory is real, well, I want to know who is the one controlling my sim. I want that someone to not mess my life. I want that someone to make my life good and not to put it in too much flame. It's bizarre and funny to say but this is how I can simply explain the theory. There are so many theories in this world and one of the best that I really like the most is the multidimensional theory or the parallel universe. It's hard to believe which is real. We don't have to worry to all of them because they are just "theories," meaning they are not proven yet. We humans need to create and study a lot of theories in order to answer all that questions behind our humanity and existence, just like how we also prove the theory of the sun and the other planets existing in the universe.

First time ko lang narinig ang theory na ito Sis, but when I was in highschool, sabi ng bestfriend ko "what if illusion lang pala lahat, or panaginip lang, pag gising natin yun pa talaga ang realidad", at di na nawala yun sa isip ko until now haha
