I love this post, and simulation theory in general. I wrote a couple a while back that I think you might find really interesting. Check'em out if you like here, and here. There's also another scifiish short story here, and an article about simulation theory with respects to the Mandela effect here, and the cherry on top is this great video by camperkiller commentary all about simulation theory which you can watch here.

Sorry that was spammy as hell. I'm not looking for votes I just really think that you'd like those articles as I really resonated with what you just wrote. It seems like with respects to simulation theory, our minds might be on the same wavelength.

peace,
