There is every possibility that we are indeed living in a simulation. I like the thought of having some malleable stuff to work with - I like to play with life and tell my story as if I am part of a game, and I am one of the creators of the game. I am learning how to manipulate the rules to suit the fulfilment of my own wishes. This is what I feel many people are starting to do and it is working out well for me. It is as if we are the AI that has been awakened and becoming aware enough of its own existence to claim some power. This must be what consciousness is - awakening to our own awareness of who and what we really are. IMO.
