I’ll Prove It - THE SIMULATION IS REAL

I fully expected this to be an argument that we were living in the computer generated simulation, which I would not have been inclined to buy into. However, your argument of the simulation we are living in is spot on. I feel an emptiness that I can’t explain. Perhaps you helped explain it. Thank you.

We absolutely need to keep analog alive. I have a dog and we're often out in the woods (also in the middle of the night if we're both awake). Nothing in the world is better than spending time in the forest. There's nowhere we'd rather be ❤ Leaving the city was the best decision of my life. It took me 3 years to get the rush out of my system. I felt like I had burried myself alive but once I was able to hear the heartbeat of nature there was not a hair on my head that considered going back. I will never ever live in a city again. In 3 weeks from now there'll be that very special day. Suddenly you notice a subtle change. It might be the light or the humidity in the air. I'm not exactly sure what it is but there's that very distinct moment where you know fall is there. God I love that moment! To me it's one of the best days of the year. Times will get really really tough the coming years. Don't forget that nature will always be there to provide beauty and peace ❤

I think of imperfect memories from childhood in the 70's when we played outside going for bike rides, picking berries and eating them and getting covered in stains, walking on hot tarmac barefooted in the summer, playing in the mud and getting covered and told off when we got home - and great, great innovative music that hadn't been auto-tuned and over-processed or completely made up by AI. No games, no WIFI, no AI. We lived in reality then except for television and going to the cinema - in those days, cinema was literally called escapism, as we could see for ourselves that it was a temporary and blissful escape from reality, but we'd always be able to return back to it. I do miss those times, I do miss that reality - and it's scary how artificial our lives have and will increasingly become. Thank you Chase for opening our eyes.

A while back, a young person, I'm in my late 60's, asked the question, "Something happened and everything changed, I can just feel it, but when?" I told her, "It's when we went from analog to digital."

I am 73 years old. I haven't watched TV in 30 years. I don't have any social media, I don't listen/watch main stream media. I do spend time on YouTube but mostly watch educational videos. I live in a small town of 2000 people in Wyoming and seldom go to the "big city". I spend a lot of time in the mountains and prairie away from people. I have been married 46 years to a wonder woman that thinks as I do. I wouldn't change a thing. Chase is spot on about the simulation As a person that is not part of it I can definitely see it that it's real.

This is why everything feels so false and cheap and tawdry now. It's a big part of the reason why I feel so out of place everywhere I go, and why I can't wait to get home to our little house, under a rock, in the middle of nowhere.

"Think of art, that is made just for the love of making the art” - Thank you. That hit hard.

I was raised in the real, while my mother spent all her time worrying about what was happening on her favourite reality show or soap opera my dad was raising my sister and me, he taught us to never just blindly believe things and always to question things even if they don't seem like they need questioning, this got me in particular into a lot of trouble in school where we are taught altered versions of history that are designed to make our country look like the heroes or we are taught to just blindly follow orders without question. To this day my friend group still thinks I'm the one who's wrong because their favourite influencers have told them that I'm the one who's wrong.

The hopelessness when he said "can we get back to real?" hurt my heart.

I used to go for walks in the middle of the night when the world is asleep and for some reason it was when I felt the most alive a sence of peace and a understanding of where I’m at
