We Live in a Simulation and People Are Documenting the Evidence
Our last conspiracy theory brings sci-fi and movies into reality (although let’s be honest, lots of conspiracy theories do). Fan of The Matrix? Well, some conspiracy theorists believe that the idea underpinning that movie isn’t so far-fetched. They believe we live in a simulation run by advanced beings, and that sometimes you can detect glitches. There are two popular subreddits dedicated to this called r/Glitch in the Matrix and r/Are We Living in a Simulation? The former gathers supposed “evidence” that we live in a matrix and the latter talks about hypotheses.
Followers of the theory present a wide range of “evidence” to support it. Some claim they remember news that Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s even though he really died in 2013. Others say the children’s book series The Berenstain Bears was actually spelled “Berentstein.” Think about it, man.
Theories in this vein some notable followers, such as Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who believes that lifelike video games have created so many simulations of reality that it’s in fact probable that we live in one right now.
What do you think? Well, if you believe in the Matrix theory, it doesn’t really matter anyway. Nothing matters. Everything is in your mind.
