And it wasn't, I remember the origin that we had second life.
We had some of these virtual realities.
Maybe they were alluding to a version of playing around with that, but they mean quite literally we're in a simulation.
Yes.
And so I think simulation is the kind of classic theory that gets people to like the kind of Christian theory of intelligent design about how we get created or the Fermi's paradox.
Like we have questions we don't know the answers to.
Therefore-
Right.
Simulation.
And you're like, no, no, we have questions we don't have answers to.
Stop.
Like we will try to figure out the answers to those questions.
Like the simulation theory stuff is like, sure, there's unknowns.
Like, for example, the classic one that's usually used to argue with this is we don't have signals that there's other intelligent universe in life in the universe.
And so, you know, like with radio waves and statistics and all the rest, we should have that.
Well, okay, that's an interesting puzzle.
That's an interesting question.
Why do we not have that?
But like, and therefore we're in a simulation is like, that's a lot of cognitive theoretical infrastructure to explain this.
It's similar like the, hey, we have an unknown about the complexity about how human brains evolved and what the intermediate steps looked like.
