Crazy

 So I started watching The Tick.  So for the first few episodes I was trying to decide if Arthur was batshit crazy or if all this stuff really was happening. Then I started thinking about this theory I'd read about the universe being a simulation our reality not really being real but a simulation that you know somebody like way outside of our reality is has crafted. It makes sense if you think about it. So I'm sitting here trying to decide am I batshit crazy am I living in a world that my own brain has concocted or really what is reality? You can't answer that. As of right now it's impossible for a human being as far as I know to go outside of our reality and look in. So how do we know if we're real? And does it make any difference? I mean we've all played those stupid simulation games where you're building a civilization or you're farming or something right? So what if those people that you're manipulating are somehow sentient on some sort of level that we don't understand. Would it make any difference? Those people that we manipulate might think of us as God but if you think about it we aren't God because we didn't create all of that the programmers created it set it loose let us play with it and they moved on to something else. So what if what humans think of as you know God or gods you know a higher being whatever you want to call it is just the user who's playing with the program? Thinking about it almost makes me feel as insignificant as when I see pictures that show the size of Earth compared to the sun. We are infinitesimal dots. Like grains of sand on a beach. Perhaps not even that significant. Which I guess is why people have such a need to believe in a deity that is all knowing and all seeing. If you feel that there is a benevolent being watching down on you from some mystical realm it makes you feel less alone and less insignificant. Unfortunately this makes some people feel that they are exceptional and better than everyone else. I'm not saying that there is or is not some sort of deity but if there is I think it's like those programmers who wrote the code made the game set it loose so that people can play and they went on to something else.
