This is an interesting question and I’ll start by saying that I don’t know the answer.
I was reading a book recently that talked about this. The author was suggesting that if any species anywhere in the universe ever created the technology to make detailed simulated realities, then there would be way more simulated realities than real realities. This would mean that it’s much more likely that we’re living inside a simulation than a “real” world.
I find that super weird to think that we could be living in a simulation or a game. It’s really hard to get your head around that idea.
What do you think?

This is very interesting, and also mildly terrifying! I am going to say we are real and hope it’s true!

I hope we live in real life! But if we are all living in the game, I wonder what the goal is to win the game?…

I hope we live in real life, but if it were a game how would we know…
If it is a game i wonder who would be classed as winning and what the rules would be?

If life is a game, does that mean I can blame someone else for all the mistakes that I’ve made?

That is super freaky Leo! I am cynical, and believe we are real as, at the end of the day, there is no way we will actually know until something matrix-esque happens. Therefore, don’t really see the point other than taking life at it’s face value – as that’s all we’re ever going to get. Also, I like to use computer games to take me away from life – so if it turns out that life IS a computer game, that is pretty messed up!
