Cursed to look into the great mysteries of existence with a mind high tuned for pattern recognition and projecting familiar narratives.

Is that something beyond our current understanding? No, no, it's just a familiar desktop environment. But fuck you if you project a name and a face into the unknown. That's backwards and primitive!

Nuh un I saw that episode of Rick and Morty and if the simulation crashes we all get a chance to escape.

That's only if you're a person from outside that was put into the simulation. If we're all just simulated beings we'd never know.

What I can appreciate about this is that it requires other people to be just real as yourself in the simulation

No we just get rebooted, in which case the side effects are Mandela effects and those points in history where we are all aware something definitely changed or glitched out overnight.

False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we'll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.
