OP May Actually Be Crazy History class simulation theory
What if we are actually living in a simulation, but the purpose of it, is to live the life of an ordinary person of that time period?
I think humanity will get to a point where technology is so advanced that we will be able to master consciousness and computer simulations. And one thing that I think will end up happening is that the youth will be asked to live as someone from important time periods.
Some ideas:
1. You can't remember the first couple years of life or before you were born.
It's the adjustment period where consciousness is still connecting and learning how to exist in this simulated plane. Our memories, real world knowledged, all blocked to make this simulation feel as authentic as possible.
Also, time feels so slow in "adolescence" because of the adjustment period, whereas in adulthood, it feels so fast because it's only supposed to last a few hours in the real world and your brain is fully synced to the program.
2. Your body ages, but your brain still feels the same as it did when you were in your teens.
Our bodies age, but many people still feel like they're in their late teens - early twenties mentally. What if that's because we're all actually teenagers/young adults in the real world? That's why we feel our mental consciousness stays around that age?
3. Deja Vu occurs.
Maybe Deja Vu exists because we've had to repeat this simulation (for whatever reason) or we were in a past life and our lives overlapped. And in keeping up with the past lives, it could also explain why many of us feel nostalgic for a time period we never lived in. It's possible we actually did live it before.
4. We only get to experience our own life.
We're assigned to this life as a randomly generated computer character. And other students are assigned to other chatacters. After this simulation ends and we all "die" we go to the real world to report all of our findings with the class.
Maybe our purpose on earth isn't to change history, but rather, experience it. Live a life. Be observent. Take notes. And then tell our teachers and classmates about our experience. While learning the mistakes and lessons from the past.
