I recently came across this concept in a book on simulation theory and although my world hasn’t changed, the ways in which I now consider how my world exists have multiplied. Literally anything is possible in a limitless universe…

A Boltzmann brain is random particles forming, just for an instant, a brain that has all the memories of a real human, and all the things we think we see and smell and feel at that instant, and a sense that we are real.

That’s it. At any moment we could just be a Boltzmann brain that exists for that moment, and then disintegrates.

This is kinda the same that the real physical potential for a human to walk through a wall once every 100 million years, because all the particles do something odd at once.

The Matrix, the movie, had a profound affect on our society. It changed action movies, it gave us catchphrases and icons, it showed that high concept, hard-to-get-your-head-around movies can be blockbusters. And it inspired us to question our reality.

Fast forward 20 years and we have a world that is questioning science and reality, disturbingly so. Just like the moon/eclipses may have been planted to inspire religion, The Matrix may have been planted to inspire doubt.

Imagine if the world of The Matrix is a reality, and we are a simulation. Imagine if what transpired in The Matrix really happened, and our reality is a simulation that looks at how the ideas presented in that movie might affect the decades beyond, for all those who watched it.

Donald Trump is telling us that everything is a lie.

More and more we are choosing to live in video games and virtual worlds.
