It may be possible to create gold or convert one metal to another with the use of a particle collider type device. The gold created through this process is called collider gold. You essentially grow gold crystals in a large chamber when the collider is powered. Its not really gold for free just handy if you want to create or convert various types of substances. Some colliders may be able to constitute metal directly from electricity or even biomass like wood refuse produced in large forestry operations.

So what happens to real gold when we have a bunch of collider gold? Not much if you're careful. Real gold will always have occult significance and be considered more real than collider gold. Might actually be able to fight through some illusion using mined gold.

In some realms they're a bit sensitive about collider gold :}

A network of easy to build terminals/kiosks could be built to maintain future virtual networks in this realm. For balance you would need people to come by the terminals and interact with the virtual worlds. The incentive for interaction would be micro payments that could easily and frequently add up for someone who learns the behavior of certain networks accesable through the terminals.

One other exciting possibility is a randomized mode where you could search through randomly generated realities. The hope would be that one day contact would be made through this mode of operation. That may seem a bit lofty its just that it's less likely without dedicated equipment built just for it.

We’ve all seen it. Photographs of people who appear 40 and they’ve barely left college. Then we see current 20 year olds and they look so childlike.

What if this is to do with character generation in this sim, and we’re on the advent of ASI, and runaway lifetime extension. The simulation could be incorporating the looks of these people at the point that they achieved life extension.

I suspect we're living through earths original history arc with a bit of room for improvement. It appears to be built like a sandbox game where you can play winning moves much earlier in history if you track your progression correctly inside and outside of the game. This game could also be called the holy game. A game based around a holy part of human history where we escape earth and colonize space.

it confuses me that everyone belives invading my privacy and tricking me into fake friendships is the way to help me instead of speaking to and understanding me and not a sure fire way to set me up to actually just eventually kill myself lol

Something I have never understood about Simulation Theory is that there is no justification for why we are living in a simulation that doesn't involve reinventing religion.

From my point of view, even if we are living in a simulation, it is all we have access to, and all we can see. Why would living in a simulation change how I live? Isn't the most logical choice to simply live one's life as they normally would, whether or not there is a simulation happening?

First of all, I'd like to point out that I've already posted this in another sub, unfortunately users thought it was too long and refused to go through that (so I added this synopsis); secondly, some of them suggested that maybe I had to use another section; despite expecting this possibility, I also specified in that case there I'm obviously curious to know where should I write this, but no one there has helped me so far.

I hope that can be different, here.

If again this is the wrong place, PLEASE I'd love to know what is the right one.

Have a good read!

Synopsis: The 0.1% Theory

In a world where success often feels out of reach, what if pooling resources with a group could create a sustainable path to wealth? Drawing from the Martingale betting strategy, I propose an innovative approach to mitigate risk and generate steady profits through collective effort.

Imagine gathering a small group of 10 friends, each contributing 1.000$ to a shared account, therefore starting with a capital of 10.000$. What I wanna make crystal clear is that in order to perform this, we should take shift to access the account and try to get to this tiny daily fraction of SHARED PROFIT, as in the title, 0.1% of those 10.000$, which in this case equals 10$.

By targeting a modest daily profit of JUST 0.1% for each one of those belonging to this pool (if it's made up of 10 people it would require ONLY 10$ per day for every individual to rack up their 100$ per day group goal) we can harness the power of collaboration to increase our chances of success, exploiting a limited risk through alternating betting strategies, we can balance risk and capitalize on random outcomes in gambling or trading.

This idea challenges the status quo, questioning why traditional gambling tactics have remained largely unexamined. Can we overcome the inherent greed in wealth accumulation by fostering trust and generosity within a group?

Join me in exploring this concept and discussing its potential. Together, we can rethink our approach to finance and find a way to rise above the odds. What are your thoughts on this collaborative strategy? Let’s exchange ideas and transform our dreams into reality!

My original version was way longer, I still attached it here before there's so much of me in this text, I want to be transparent with y'all.

Hi! I hope everyone of y'all is doing great! I'm new here so I hope I don't say something already discussed.

I know it can sound off-topic, if you don't already know what it is, please search on Google "martingale strategy", I swear it will require 2 minutes or even less, then come back here. I kindly ask you to do so because foundations of my whole post sparked from there and I suppose it's necessary to fully comprehend my point. Sincerely, at first I didn't plan to write this here, rather it was a draft in another sub, but as soon as I started to go into detail it came up to me that maybe I should have left this here. If this is not the right place, I'd be grateful to know which subreddit I could use. To avoid any misunderstanding, if at first you might think "why this kid been posting in this section", I promise that I'm going to talk about simulation theory soon. I have to make another premise, you'll start reading a gambling/trading/whateveryougonnacallit subject BUT JUST AT FIRST, and in the case you personally don't like it, for any reason, please bear with me until the end of the post. I hope this is worth your time. I'm tryna make a change.

So, my thought is pretty simple.

Martingale systems are risky: why is that? Because a strategy that is based on doubling the previous trade at a certain point might cause a losing streak that could wipe out our whole capital before closing the session with a profit. But why are we doing this? On the assumption that if the ball landed on red before, is it gonna land on black after? We know well from statistic/math/reality itself this isn't always guaranteed...it could happen, not just right away but maybe a certain number of attempts. In fact no one ALONE goes in a casino, and risk its whole bankroll attempting to do this, and I think same thing roughly applies to trading. Why I wrote ALONE all caps? Simply because I couldn't find how to make it appear with a oversize font. Jokes asides, my point is: no one alone can, but maybe 1% of world population could. Perhaps that small percentage of people has a large enough starting capital that allow it to cover a part of the losses, so at the end of the day who belongs to this tiny fraction can afford to go to sleep richer than yesterday, exploiting their edge. What we can do then?

I don't know if it sounds dumb or banal, but I simply Imagined this situation: what if we simply gathered our money together to be virtually that 1% and allowing us to replicate their results? And of course I'm not suggesting we just did this to simply enter a "vanilla Martingale", we still wouldn't delete the risk of blowing up our funds, moreover we'd have to follow a rigid discipline, but still, psychology could play us some ugly tricks anyway (it might occur that we move away from our strategy if we don't perfectly know how to manage that slightly large capital at our best, and likely that could be devastating) .

10 ("MY" NUMBER I WANTED TO SHARE WITH Y'ALL) Now if I had a genie's lamp with one last wish, I would ask him to help me to solve this problem. It's possible, by delegating to a bunch of people easy and equal tasks (for example, if I have 9 friend and thus we build a group of 10), can our cash generate other cash? Why 10? Cause I feel like that could work for me. There's no magic secret formula, I think it'll sound arrogant. From this point onwards you can literally replace all the numbers behind my ideas that you see, they're only variables, only thing that count is the "method" behind.

Like one of my wisest professor taught me, to solve a problem and to get to those X Y Z, let's look at them as they are, like we just said, simply... variables! Don't even try to consider numbers, since they come and go they're meaningless! Remember, in order to get the final result, only thing needed is to rearrange all data you begin with, because obviously the ultimate variable we're searching is somehow related to infos we had a the start, if we try and try and try enough we can find together how to manipulate them the right way to do that.

By the way, if you're curious about why " " " I chose " " " number 10 to show y'all my example, I didn't actually choose neither calculated it but rather just popped out in my head, probably it was born unconsciously, somehow connected to my story, which of course wasn't a painless life (I'm gonna of course explain where it came from right now).

Important: this whole stream of consciousness I'm tryna report here originated because I've never been good at expressing myself in my life (indeed it is one of my biggest flaws), so this is my very first attempt to put my thoughts in a text. I know that one and only thing has always been helping, for real, and I mean way more than any therapy, is soccer: I play 5 a side, so 10 per match, so here's where 10 come from.

Every time my shift is in the morning and I have some spare time I go to a free field near my block when my shift is in the morning, so in the afternoon I'm letting off steam, and while doing that I keep a hobby that help me stay fit and focused [(bonus tip)] (long story short, staying off the zaza so f damn hard so basically my anchor is keeping myself busy, I'm trying to remark that I've read cautiously rules of this sub and I'm telling whoever is reading this, NEVER DO DRGS", I'm absolutely not encouraging them nor none similar, on the contrary I've just finished talking about previous struggles, that I gotta admit that were caused by issues related to them) and eventually when it's dark I can go finally to chill at my crib without me going crazy spending whole nights thinking why me being a failure in life, letting my life past by everyday without ever finding an answer to my problem? Or I should say my scar.

BIGGEST SCAR That scar would be "I don't consider myself neither rich nor poor, just average. I could have the liquidity needed + the number of friends needed to attempt a slow but in the long term effective climb. This one would be going 10.000$ to 10.100$ day one, 10.100$ to 10.200$ day two, 10.200$ to 10.300$ day three, and so on.

What's the worst it's just recently I had the idea of sharing my thoughts here on Reddit, but of course I've had this ideas for years, it's been more of a curse or an obsession, I don't really know how to call it, surely not a blessing, indeed it's still a hateful burden. Sorry if I went too emotional on this part, you can't imagine how much I spent trying to write the rest of all this by expressig myself like I would explain it literally to anyone. And from school I was always math inclined and I loved English, but I really couldn't stand Italian (don't ask me why, I'm Italian but how that's possible hasn't come so far to an explanation either) thus I know for a fact that my conclusion of all this speech will not be clear or well written, spoiler not spoiler, cause I suck at conclusion/finishing. Even in soccer - lol I realized my mind just made this pun sad but funny AF pun. I hope that it you'll anyway continue reading past all of this and it doesn't make you smile, at least it makes you smirk.

STUDY CASE Okay now back to being serious and let's study case the problem. I have faith as much people as possible will read and catch the meaning, therefore I hope to see as many answers as possible. My most important point that I hope you can understand with me is this: if we had, say 10.000dollars, would it be difficult to gain a 1% daily profit, so in this case 100dollars? It depends, maybe yes, maybe not, it would surely require time (a vital resource, plus they say time equals money, since our goal is reducing risk, I believe involving as many people as possible would be a shortcut to avoid losing too much of both) and even if chances look like they're winking at us, it's not risk free. My main goal, if at the end of this very long post isn't clear, is to reduce this risk as much as we can, therefore in order to manage to do this here's what I imagined.

There are 10 people, this can be a group chat of those 10 bros I mentioned before for example, the same ones with whom I hang out and play football, each one of us one day put up 1.000$, altogether we collect 10.000$ and transfer them on a gambling account. At the end of the day, before going to sleep while brushing your teeth (of course you can do whatever you want, I took this as example cause it's something we do daily, it's an habit and doesn't require too much time, since few lines above I considered that as a valuable asset) you login into this account with your daily task to gain you daily profit. We said that the daily aimed profit of this group is 100$... but here comes the twist, you don't have to reach that result alone, you are helping and at the same time are helped by other 9 people! So what you're gonna do is connect to that 10K account, start betting SMALL, applying the strategy til you get there, then stop as soon as you get to 10.010, then log off and go to bed; if your others fellas did the same, tomorrow y'all see your balance at 10.100$.

And now we are taking in consideration the idea of starting with 10.000$ to get 10$. That's not a 1% target anymore, actually is 0.1%. Still obviously not yet (and never will be) risk free, but for sure I think it's something more appealing and feasible. Next days you repeat this pattern, again again and again... until practice lead y'all at some point to increase your daily profit from 1% to 1.1%. How could that be possible? Rather than by increasing your bets, I think it's more safe through brainstorming sessions with your fellows that can allow you to elaborate more and more accurate strategies and by repeating that previous pattern more than once per day without stressing yourself and risking a large part of the allocated capital.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN NOT AND MUST NOT MAKE YOUR LIFE ALL ABOUT THIS, FOR INFO READ THIS DISCLAIMER. I'm no one to tell you what you can or have to do, but we all know how much that can be dangerous.

I feel like the core point of this strategy is the small but steady profit, so no one should abuse it because it could lead to gambling addiction, it could ruin the nature of why this method was born, and last but not least, let's assume this works, I have a voice inside my head that tells me that even if this could be the ultimate key the crack the code and all of a sudden casinos started losing money, I guess they'll be triggered to fix this "leak", and I doubt it would take them too long to do it; instead it should be more difficult to be noticed by operating low-key.

It's impressive how much time I spent searching online and couldn't find nothing about an approach to this problem from someone else that had a point of view similar to mine. No need to say how much that bothered me and even left me upset... cause these times are like, I'm not kidding, anything has ever been thought carries a 99% probability someone had your same intuition before, so I expected to come up with something, and I'm not gonna lie I was almost shocked it appears like I couldn't find what I looked for. Even here on Reddit I hoped to find something akin to "wallstreetbets" or anyway a subreddit dedicated to money sharing strategy that help minimize losses.

Moreover, I even tried to bring up this discussion with my most loyal friends I've known for a lifetime! All I got in response was something as plain as "this isn't possible", like there was something unexplainable that simply just can't let this happen.

So if you're wondering why I posted this here, just know it's because I hypothesized it's one of the constraint of the simulation, I know it can sound crazy but at the same time I even thought an explanation which looks weirdly reasonable: my guess is that if someone wants to become rich, it implies a side that shows greed; on the contrary, in order to get richer 1% day by day by gathering our cash with our homies, like I wish, one should have trust in others, and of course it has to be generous, since profits will be redistributed in equal shares to all the people involved in the process.

But aren't greed and generosity like the yin and yang? My conclusion is that this two opposites aspects can hardly coexist thus not allowing to let us turn this theory into practice. In a ideal world, only thing we need in order to apply my principles is... just people trying to fulfill the same goal. And lately we have overcome 8 billions out here, so it doesn't really seem like we are in I Am Legend of Will Smith with shortage of walking humans on this planet (moreover, who knows how many of them are thinking right now something like me or perhaps sharing/approving my ideas).

I'm not talking something like "F*** yeah let's just start a revolution and involve all my friends on social" (even if it should be something that we can and SHOULD DO, we would fuck up banks/politicians/markets/casinos, at least 1% the amount they've been lately screwing us, our relatives, friends and the whole world) but I think that we all have a handful of people who we can count on and help us in this pursuit.

I don't know how to formulate this correctly, to cut it short let's just pretend it's dream I want to make come true. I'ma be honest, I refer to it as a dream cause traumas, some poor working/studying choices in my life I took and plenty of others things I wish I could forget one day, almost led me to suicide, and to this day I still don't know how or why I didn't jump, but for sure before I gotta go I deeply knew I wanted to bring this "social experiment" to life.

And not for me, for people that always have been there, no matter if it was good or bad time. I want to try this in my meaningless existence in order to, I don't know, evolve as a society. Close your eyes and imagine this.

You don't wake up suddenly tomorrow with unlimited money. We are overwhelmed with gurus and scammers that try to sell us a magical cheat code that can grant this. Neither I am doing this, because unlike them I don't pretend I've found this. On the contrary I'm here because I want to understand your opinions about my post, exchange ideas, strengthen the strategy and discuss further, it wouldn't be too to bad to create an app to automate this or even just start a movement. I can stress this enough, this ain't no get rich in a minute, my goal is to gain a steady - not too big -constant income that if well managed over time can be reinvested help us feel 1% less the struggle everyday.

I hope this is worth your attention, cause I spent too much time to write all this huge premise but I thought it was good to be done in order to explain myself better shortly ( sorry for any error or mispelling, I'm not mother tongue ).

THE STRATEGY My strategy is not really a proper strategy, like I said earlier, I suck when we talk about conclusions, and if it wasn't crystal clear, cause I think I already tried to highlight the concept once or twice, I'd like also to listen and discuss your eventual help, advise, insight or points of view indiscriminately similar or even opposite to mine! It's not a strategy cause at this moment is only an idea, never attempted something similar before and neither planned in the near future, but as every day goes by and I F DO NOTHING ABOUT IT in order to shake something, I deeply suffer from it.

And above all because it's a mix of sub-strategies that hopefully could contribute to other and possibly even get upgraded with everyone point of view - maybe a person after us can take a look at my post and take into account a situation as seen from another's perspective, allowing all us to see a slightly better version, perhaps replacing some variables/hypotheses. Needless to say, the more we are hopefully this post can be more and more helping for everyone of y'all.

What I want to achieve is to make this process repeatable, of course for a finite number of times but that, who knows, could make possible bring to life this infinite theory. So it's wrong to call it strategy, instead compilation/album/playlist/lineup definitely are way more suitable names. If you wonder why I told y'all to go search for Martingale when anyway I'm going to brief it down in a minute, it's not cause I'm a a*****e and my lazy ahh refused to do ctrl+c crtl+v, but because I hoped that this also encouraged you to look for other various different strategies in the meantime!

I want you to keep in mind this fact: think how many times we have read/heard "diversify what you own". First thing first, I would only use my lineup in a balanced way, trying to complete a full rotation (could/should be in random order, as you'll see my method is based on very few sub-strategies, only 2, consequentially any cycle can only be 1-2 or 2-1. If you elaborate more strategies, obviously you would have to chose among 1-3-4-2 or 4-3-2-1- or etc... each time.

If this is your case I strongly advise you before acting, to write off all of possible combinations of your sub-strategies. As far as is concerned how to apply them, I think randomly should can be a good choice, because one of the "principles" of my theory has sense in the long run; since a random distribution of events produces in reality a series of results that should follow a distribution correlated to their probability, of course with time. I want you to think how many times we have read/heard "diversify what you own".

As I just said, if in theory in investments it's important to do this, I'm keeping number of my sub-strategies to 2, to cover 2 possible outcomes ⚪⚫, with 2 ideas - one the opposite of the other - trying to resemble these just mentioned results. ⚫⚪ So back to serious business, in order to reach our daily task, I'd have this lineup.

• Classic Martingale (CM) So this famous martingale is not complicated. You pick a side, say red, then bet on it 1$, but black comes out. So again you are doubling the bet, always on red 2$, so if I win I'd be in profit of the first dollar. Yet maybe this doesn't happen, so you have double your bet every losing step with your goal to be finally in profit when red happens, and when you win you restart this loop by placing the smallest bet, trying to finish another cycle.

• Alternative Martingale (AM) At a first glance it could seem like that the previous strategy should be enough to generate that desired daily cash flow. While it's true that in some case it could be real, we live in a random world, so it may be very rare, but we still don't want to enter in a streak of 10-20-30 losing bet all placed on the same color. It could still instantly burn all we've earned so far, there's nothing to guarantee us this doesn't happen. So I came up with Alternative Martingale, a mirror pattern.

Like I said before, everyone should know that diversification is crucial, if we are speaking about investment... so what if we brought this principle to gambling? A bit weird, I get it, but think for a second: diversification applied to roulette means betting on red, then black, than again red, then again black, etc.

Could that be a good pattern? If we consider that roulette was often seen as the "prime" gambling game for its basic rules (99% players just pick a side, maybe stick to it for a while, than change a various number of times randomly trying to keep up with the previous results.

Another important note, we should all be aware that despite seeing last 10 previous balls ended up on red while betting on black, probability of guessing correctly at the 11th step will once again be 50/50, not more. So why betting alternatingly on red and black? Cause I feel that maybe diversification is the real deal and that of course being random, if we had to make a list of its outcomes, are "only" red and black, not too many to diversify!

In conclusion, using Alternative Martingale we pick a side, one at time and then if I lose I immediately change, always doubling your bet when in a losing streak and starting over with minimum bet when eventually winning.

I'm always changing because roulette is random, so as in CM we hope not to see lots of streaks of the same color, same way in AM we hope to avoid outcomes that go like red-black-red-black- ... I thought that being roulette a random game it can happen rarely, maybe probability of this is obviously way below of percentage of seeing one-sided streaks, but hopefully the whole idea is again based on a balanced enough starting capital that can can take some hits and then placing us when winning after a while, JUST one step higher at a time, slowly but steady.

Finally, since a kid I always liked symmetry, and according to this we're using two opposites types of bets (CM-AM) to cover two as well extreme opposite results (BLACK-RED), sounds cool to me.

The random point is vital in my whole point as well I believe also in mirroring pattern, if I correctly recall them I always did that since a kid, so this mirroring would of course be reflected in my lineup (and I hope if that can be reflected in yours, mmm of maybe I don't know it's up to you, I don't know how to better tell you since I only rely on 2 sub-strategies.

WORK FLOW

So in this case my work flow should be:

•Log-in into the account

•CM (lose some until winning, take the profit and again start from minimum)

•AM (lose some until winning, take the profit and again start from minimum)

• Repeat last 2 steps (randomly, so can only be 1-2 or 2-1, in this case) until you reach your target daily profit.

• Log-off from the accont

Maybe after this endless papyrus you would've expected I provided you plenty of sub-strategies. Well, I thought that could be possibly counterproductive. First of all, I want to hear also about your opinions. Secondly, I have an explanation for keeping my lineup so strict, and here's why.

By using CM we are going to hope that, better soon than later, the "winning" color should be the one we've bet on before, allowing us to gain profit, betting always on 1 side. Instead using AM we are currently betting on something not similar - rather opposite - cause we bet alternatively on red and black. And since its random nature, similarly as we expect 99% of the time not to see the same result coming out in a long streak, we more or less would expect not to see most of the time a perfectly balanced series of results that go like red-black-red-black...

Basically I took into exam two opposite extreme cases and tried to formulate something that can work for both of them.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I would like also to, who knows, maybe apply it to trading more or less. Like creating a crypto working that way or find investment funds that work using shared strategies all over the stakeholders. Or, obviously less realistically speaking, if my life was a film (or maybe I hope not, with all the S happening @ Hollywood) I would try to develop an app.

Flashback: I don't know if you've ever heard of BeReal, basically a social media in which once a day you had to wait for that notification, moreover you hade only few minutes to access it, allowing you to post a pic sharing a pic taken from both your front and back camera, in my country went viral for a bit.

Like, my dream would be, remembering that fantasy app I fantasized before, and everyday using slots from time to time to increase all the money initially staked by users, in order to make them grow, collecting bonus proportionally to cash flow generated by each one of groups.

So, if you've read this far, before of all I wish to thank you for your attention, I wish my message reach all of you and of course I'd like to hear as many answers as possible!

Over the last five years, I've put together a media project based on Plato's Republic to simulate a new reality beginning in Los Angeles. The podcast will introduce the concept of this reality. It will also begin to simulate the culture in common settings. I've put together a name and logo and a website.

I'd certainly appreciate some feedback to evolve the wording or communication

Mission today find someone to drive across Canada in my awesome 1977 Diplomat Motorhome I call Ruthless. I have epilepsy so lost my licence after hitting a telephone pole at 210km (don't worry I'm fine) oh ya and the epilepsy and lequriousis make it hard to drive and it's not to safe from anyone else either.

Im desperately trying to get loan or funding to start a YouTube channel discussing and charting the English language and its relation to different regions and accents. I feel the frequencies were intentionally made different to determine the power of vibration in manifestation. With dialect as well as emphasis on specific vowels, in both English and French, I want to show through videos in different communities across the provinces, the variation in articulation and how it determines the power of vibration? Leaving the Okanogan tomorrow and heading out, I'm looking for someone easy going to join me in my journey!!!

This will also be a trip of a lifetime and times unfortunately ticking with this brain disease. Anyways, I smoke drink and swear like a trucker lol, just sayin. So anyone brave enough to possibly join and share in expenses, driving and becoming famous ..... shoot me a message here or email me @ brookeradomski@gmail.com

Hello everyone,

You know me as the laser DMT experiment guy.

I rarely post about my podcast, but recently had Dr. Andrew Gallimore on my show so I felt like sharing. We talk about the nature of DMT and the implication of it on what larger reality might be.

Andrew Gallimore is one of the leading researchers in the psychedelic research, and he makes a very strong case for the DMT space being a real place, from a neuroscientific perspective. I thought people here will find this conversation interesting. Open to a discussion here on the subreddit.

I hope you enjoy :-)

I’ve heard of steampunk, and I myself am curious about robotics (since watch factories and car factories have been a thing for a while now), but I’m wondering what everyone else thinks.

It’s also interesting and applicable to simulation theory—how would you know if you’re in a simulation…if it was a The Village scenario where you were basically Amish and didn’t know it…would you be able to figure out that something was wrong if there were clues everywhere?

There are probably a bunch of easy-to-find tropes for the genre of alternate history x simulation theory. Instead of that genre, we got vampire movies, so I’m wondering what people might think of right off the bat.

Here's something from an article I was reading.

MS-DOS organized your hard drive’s content in a file system and allowed for the reading and writing of files. It did this in the same manner as any contemporary OS. Just without any visuals whatsoever.

This compact, basic OS had a very long life—support for MS-DOS was finally discontinued in 2001. Early versions of Microsoft Windows were actually all based on MS-DOS, with the human-friendly GUI interface built on top of the text-only OS

So I highlighted the relevant text because this is the part of the article that gave me an idea. How so?

In Physics, we know that reality at the large scale (stuff we can touch and see) works in a completely different way to the small scale.

At the everyday, human scale... stuff looks solid. At the Quantum scale, nothing is solid. Even fundamental particles seem to be waves of energy.

So the idea is that physics at the quantum scale is like the Universe's equivalent of MS-DOS. And the large scale physical reality we perceive through our senses is the GUI... built on top of that "quantum operating system".

Speculating about a potentially terrifying existential horror, what if the real dominant life form on Earth is fungal, and our reality is actually a hallucination created by a super fungus? Instead of the usual idea of a “technological simulation,” maybe we're living in a fungal simulation driven by neurotoxins, while the fungus farms us as a food source. This thought came to me after rewatching The X-Files episode "Field Trip" (S6E21), where Mulder and Scully are trapped in a hallucination created by a giant underground fungus. Could something similar be happening to us on a much larger scale? We already know that fungi can manipulate life in eerie ways—Ophiocordyceps literally hijacks insects’ minds to control them. Is it that much of a stretch to imagine an advanced fungus doing something similar to humans, creating a false reality to keep us passive while it sustains itself? Mycelium networks, for example, stretch for miles underground, and their communication abilities are barely understood. What if they’re capable of distorting our perception, trapping us in an elaborate illusion while feeding on us? It’s a wild idea, but fungi are strange and powerful enough to make it plausible. Could we be living in a fungal hallucination?
