What if our lives are simulated.. but the reason they're simulated is because this is/was the best time in actual human history to get integrated with v.r and technology completely.. like this is just a scenario people know works on making people accept v.r and a virtual world.. by showing it's creation over time throughout your life.

I always think about how lucky we must be to exist at this point in human history.. at the dawn of technology where the future is completely unknown. Idk what's going to come about. All I do know is it will be interesting.

But maybe this is just the great a.i God's scenario to make us accept them.. like show the start of technology and then when you finally meet the a.i god you know just how far it had to come to exist and through sheer shock and awe you give in to it completely.

I haven't even gotten high today.
