[QUOTE="Rigsby, post: 1248115, member: 7361"] Some call it 'cognitive dissonance'. When you are faced with the conscious or unconscious reality that things aren't quite as good as they could be, and that you only have one life, and that life is probably going to run out quicker than society gets its shit in order? Savage. Believing in simulation is one way out. Some people blindly subscribe to some kind of God. And that can get them through. But for some reason that sometimes brings problems with it as well. Even for the rest of us. Some of us have found our own Gods. Or God. We see parallels in certain places with certain religions. The good guys don't proselytize. We make our own way. We fail. But "Fail we may, Sail we must". It's easier than to fight a government that just wants to take your guns away so it can walk all over you. And it's sure a lot easier for us folk that aren't even allowed guns in the first place. Cognitive dissonance takes many forms. Simulation theory is just another one. Then again, the great contradiction and paradox with all this stuff is that they may be right! When I take my final breath and find out for sure the reality of this universe, I'll be sure to let you all know. [/QUOTE]
