What's the percentage?

And then what would it matter?

Right.

if we're in a simulation or not.

And I think it can be a positive experience.

And for, I think, people who grew up in the modern world with modern technology, it gives us a way to say, you know what, maybe what all those religions were saying wasn't bullshit, right?

It wasn't just stories that people made up, but they just didn't have the language to express something that a lot of people who have had near-death experiences, they use the word ineffable, right?

Which means unable to be put into words, right?

And so they can't really tell you what's out there, but they use these metaphors to try to describe it.

And so I think whether you view simulation theory as a hardcore physics thing, or you view it as a metaphor for...

what this world is all about and how we go through our lives.

I think there's value in looking at both of those angles.

And the metaphor side is what I think, actually, for me personally, and that was your question, how does this change the way that I view the world?

It actually has changed the way that I view the world so that when I go through difficult situations, I kind of step back.

They don't bother me as much.

I mean, they still bother me physically, but they don't bother me as much in other ways.

Right, and why this challenge now?

If there's a part of me that's outside watching this

Like maybe when I go to sleep or wherever, whenever, why would it choose this particular challenge at this point in my life?

What is it that it's meant to impact and what is it that I need to learn?
