Sorry I’m depressed af and need answers. Are y’all even real? What if y’all are just part of the program to torture me? What if this is a test? What if this is a VR simulation and the societal collapse is just moral character test to see if I would be do anything about it? Like imaginr a society in the far future like 26th century and in a history class where people are wondering “why didn’t the 21st century humans rise up against their oppressors” and then this VR simulation is just testing the students “what would you have done”
(Sorry for the bizzare question, its just brain chemicals acting weird today :P)
You’ll get better at it
Either way, the answer is that we don’t know. We don’t know if we are real, we don’t know if you or I are real, we could all be part of a simulation, we could be an AI that some student built which is wandering in a virtual space.
Hell, we could be a Bolzman brain for all we know.
So it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is just be nice to those around you. Assume they’re all real and alive and can feel hurt, can feel pain, can feel scared, just like you.
Just be nice to everyone else, try to leave each space a little better than it was when you arrive there. Do that with life and whatever is real, you’d be awesome at it
