I mean the bar on being a creator seemed pretty high.
And then there's all this figuring out what the creator wants from us and what rewards we get etc etc
The more I play The Sims the more I think we don't need fancy explanations.
Like it's not, ineffable plan, or, we're all in The Matrix.
It's just like, here's a corner of the world, here's the packs they downloaded. Points are for whims achieved. Player probably got bored after a certain point.
Game continues.
Like a creator could just have downloaded a bunch of click together stuff and we are one of a multiplicity of worlds running on similar code, and out there there's a different multiverse, possibly higher resolution or with more cheat codes.
And there might have been magic in the past that closed up because of bug fixes.
And there might be magic in the future if the game gets too boring.
Or it could all get shut down if the computer overheats or something.
I'm just saying, creation seems like a lower bar these days. And any given physical universe could contain many, many simulations.
It's all one from here, of course. I'm no Virtual Adept and if anyone figures out how to break out of the Matrix I will, as usual, be the last one using the old servers and just kind of hoping An Friend will post at some point.
And however we got here the good stuff still involves being kind.
But some days I imagine we're all little sim dudes with little sim goals, and it seems to explain some things.
