Are we in fact living in a simulation? This is the question postulated, wrestled with, and ultimately argued for through archival footage, compelling interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a collection of cases from some of our most iconoclastic figures in contemporary culture.

I definitely feel like We live in a simulation but these guys were just crazy

“My mother came out and she looked up and she said, ‘There’s so much snow, we’re going to remember this for a long time’. I spent the rest of the day in my room playing violent video games and watching The Matrix movie with my black trench coat on and my gun in my hand” he then “successfully” calls Neo on his home phone 🤯
As I was writing this review the rest of the interview went on and nothing could have prepared me for what happens!

Ironically I started to believe in simulation theory before I even knew it was a discussion. This documentary on Hulu was fascinating for me to better understand this topic. I have started going down the rabbit hole if “glitches in the matrix,” “simulation theory,” and “Mandela effect.” I’m very interested in these now to better understand what I have been feeling.

I mean, it was def interesting but the more I thought about it it was kind of stupid. They didn’t really try to provide any evidence they just had a ton of clips that had barely anything to do with the topic and they had a few guys talk about “surreal experiences” they’ve had. Idk it was just weird. Also that part where the guy talked about how he killed his parents was pretty disturbing
