Many believe that we live in a computer simulation. But it takes a billionaire and his money to ask scientists to help break us out of the simulation.
The New Yorker recently did a profile about Y Combinator's Sam Altman. In the story, Altman discusses his theories about being controlled by technology and delves into the simulation theory. From an article on The New Yorker:
Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer; two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation.
Business Insider adds:The piece doesn't give any clue as to who those two billionaires are -- although it's easy to hazard a few guesses at who they might be, like Musk himself or Altman's friend Peter Thiel -- but it's fascinating to see how seriously people are taking this theory. According to Musk, it's the most popular topic of conversation right now.
Earlier this year, at Code Conference, Elon Musk said there's "one in billions" chance we're not living in a computer simulation.

The hippies taking LSD often came to the same realization that there is more to life then consumerism and such but had no clue as to what they were experiencing under it's influence on them.
Many of them had what they called "out of body" experiences and traveled through time and space, or at least they thought as much.
Some heard the molecular structure and the electrons as they felt that they were one with everything.
Today a lot of the Silicon Valley types think that if they take LSD to explore life they might get ideas.
This may be why the above article even exist.
Steve Jobs has made the claim that he got some of his best ideas while tripping on Acid.
Be sure to watch these three informative videos to get some additional insight into some silicon Valley ideas and implementation of them.

And now the absolute truth that delineates exactly how and why...
For in him (God Almighty) we live and move and have our being.'
Acts 17:28
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together in Himself.
Colossians 1:17
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
