We are all in a simulation that prepares us and gives us a history lesson prior to the Singularity. Yeah yeah…cool story bro. ---

The _secret_ is we are all just living inside a snow globe according to Earthworm Jim. ---

We will all be assimilated soon. If you missed the email about it, its sure to happen sooner :dubious::eek:😃 ---

Unfortunately I believe I’m in the zone to be cached by ants. That sounds… unpleasant. ---

This particular universe is a 3-vector qubit with a specific balance point along the scales of Improbability, Uncertainty and Absurdity. If you can find a way to reach the boundary region, you might find other universes at different balance points. However, those scales are not simply-connected in one-dimensional space, so traversing them in the first place will probably prove to be an exercise in frustration. ---

We are God’s terranium, which He lost interest in and shelved long ago. Let’s just hope He never gets around to cleaning His basement. ---

Well there’s a good reason for that. Actually, God hasn’t created _any_ universes. Yet. What we see around us is merely a simulation, one of many God is running concurrently with various starting parameters, to research which one will work out best before He actually creates a real universe. Universes are expensive, and One wants to get it right the first time. The universe — the simulation — that we see around us isn’t that. This universe went way off the rails early on ([Gen. 3](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3&version=KJV)) and has been deteriorating ever since. True, God has propped things up from time to time and tried to repair the damage (e.g., [Gen. 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+7&version=KJV)), but it’s been a losing proposition. All we can say (not that it will help us any), is better luck with one of the other simulations.
