Are we living in a VIRTUAL REALITY where our brains are in an evil scientist’s JAR?

[Insuperable]

I am more and more thinking that the possibility exists that we are part of a very high-tech simulation. It could be a game, played by two (or more) opponents, and we are the playing pieces in the simulation. It is so far advanced that we in the simulation have become self-aware. Now.. so many secrets to find out. Our physical brains are not really capable of it, but I think some people have and are beginning to become aware of our true surroundings, and the fact that there are higher dimensions we don't know about. We could however become evolved enough to recognise our true surroundings and dimension, and to realise there are other, much higher players in this "game"....

God, or the idea of God at least - could be part of the simulation. Perhaps our simulation was created by Yahweh, a very naughty school boy who fucks everything up. In fact, this satire has been presented in the DarkMatter2525 videos. I'll try to find the one

You reminded me of Dawkins

A good plot outline for a novel written by Philip K. Dick.

Best books to explore that subject:

[Autrigón]

Yes

[GERULA]

Mmmm certainly NO..but "they" would love you to believe that.

[Al-Meksiki]

I love the Matrix

Sure, Matrix/brain-in-a-vat/solipsism theories are logically possible, but there's no good reason to actually believe they are true.

As far as I'm concerned, they're just another ridiculous conspiracy theory, like lizard people.

Still they are very legit philosophical reasonings

[Dick]

Nah.

No but that concept is simple explanation of how God can manage the world and us in it. I would just remove word "evil" and add word neutral or perfect.
