        And another thing “Simulation Theory” is literally just saying

        “What if God created the universe”

        and then adding “With a computer”

          So, it’s slightly less improbable than some sort of god.

          It sure is a neat idea that feels right. So, yeah religion.

          I tell my girl all the time that she can have as many ponies and unicorns as she wants when we all go live in the computer someday.
