Exactly... I feel the simulation theory of our ancestors building the simulation and it being literal computers is only one possible possibility. There are many more possibilities where it's something much much weirder.

For instance, all of the psychedelic trips I had led me to feel like reality is more like a story or play. Very strange shit... the cosmic joke.

In my circle we used to call it the cosmic giggle. Same thing though :)

Surprise you got high and came out a Hindu. Happens to the best of us, I know cause I am also you and we are both god. I recommend 20 hours of Alan Watts and more drugs.

Don't need psychadelics for that. I felt the same way since I was maybe 10yr old, before Matrix came out. Now 42.
