This idea scares me a little bit. As we talked about in class on tuesday, this is a common question to ask ourselves. how do we know that we are not in a simulation? Is there any finite proof that we can find within ourselves or others to actually prove it to be a fact that we are not. The simulation hypothesis is a really interesting idea to me. I feel like I used to call this an intrusive thought before I really understood what the idea is, but now through this reading I can really understand what the idea of questioning the reality we are living in really is.

I think this line is really interesting because of how wrapped up in the virtual world people can become. Just looking at these lines you can see how much people can become wrapped up in the virtual world and virtual reality. I think what made it so appealing at the beginning is the idea that people can escape. Escape the world that you are surrounded by and become whoever you want. A superhero, a bird that flies, a zombie a scientist and whatever else. Virtual reality gives humans the ability to experience and be whoever they want, without any consequences and dangers of reality.
