That's the best simulation hypothesis yet.
Correct me if I am mistaken.
We are, each one of us, a message.
The message we are, gets more detailed as we proceed.
The value is in the detail.
Our life is the bottle. The world is the ocean.
From bottle to bottle, from ocean to ocean,
The message, ever evolving.
This is the Akashic record.
Ourselves inscribed outside of the fabric of reality.
Yours is a particularly creative, modern update.
I like that it is not, of necessity, paired with a “noble lie”.
This is Descartes' and the "evil demon", brain in a jar thought experiment.
This derives from the format for the myth of creation, creationism.
I've tracked this back, as far as Plato and the demiurge.
The question remains. From whence does the message arise?
Who has fashioned us, or did we come out of nothing?
It would not matter, except, are we our own?
If I am not, then who should I strive to benefit, even if I enjoy the experience?
Does it matter?
I cannot know. if this is illusion, shall I engage with it blindly?
I feel I am on the verge of hearing the carnies shout, "hey, Rube".
I do know one thing. If I am a message in a bottle, floating in an ocean,
I am not beholden to any of the others, that are trapped in here with me.
If this is a truly free adventure, then, at least I'm making the most of it.
Hey Rube. The message is aware of itself.
