    If you had the choice between your life now or a simulation where you could live exactly the way you wanted to (but knew it was a simulation) which would you choose.

    Isn't it all just a simulation anyhow?

    What if this is the simulation and we just don't know?

    Well yeah this is more than likely a simulation. It's just you're not in control. I mean a simulation where you get to fulfil all ambitions. But you're aware it is just that.

    I'll stick to real life. Never been a fan of codding myself

    Depends. What's happening to my body while I'm in the simulation. If we are in a simulation at the moment then that may provide a very disturbing explanation for the occasional pain I get in my arse.

    That assumes your real "body" isn't just a head in a jar or digitized and running on a computer.

    By simulation, I mean everything is exactly as it is now, except 2 things. You know you're in it and you can fulfil every ambition/want you ever had. Learn how to do anything you want, become anything you want to be, whatever.
