Because I have, and it made me think this exact thing a few days ago. Like, literally the same thing. And I got into yet another existential crisis when I thought about the fact that my character in Skyrim has no knowledge of the fact that he dies many times in one day, but I just start at a recent save point and avoid death. Now apply that to this theory. How many times have we died, only to be forced back to a point in time before our death and avoid it, unknowingly.
Also, I read somewhere a couple of years ago that scientists may have proven that free will is just an illusion. It had something to do with your brain deciding what it is going to do in any situation, before you actually come to the conclusion yourself. I wish I could find a link to that.

So you're suggesting we should go to the source and talk to the architect?

We are forced to sleep so our brains can be downloaded with new simulated reality data.Either by direct control,or auto pilot mode,the super advanced reality computer processes new virtual information and simulated data to keep us in tune with what we think is reality.To keep us locked into this virtual,holographic world.To repair any glitches and viruses that may arise and to program the moment to moment happenings throughout our simulated lives..

There must have been somewhere at sometime,an original species of aliens,the first to have evolved intelligence and reached a state of advanced psychological and technological development.Then they tera-formed,created and spread other life throughout the universes and dimensions,one of which is you and i and the earth itself...edit on 17-11-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)
