Elon Musk Thinks We Are In A Computer Simulation. Are we all living in the Matrix? Are we AI robots living in a computer simulation created and controlled by aliens or some superior species? Or, are we being controlled by future versions of our own species? Elon Musk thinks it is almost a certainty. Rapid advances in technology over the past few years create the possibility that, someday, we will be unable to distinguish between virtual reality and what we call reality now. Consider that it isn't really any less rational to believe in a Matrix type simulation than it is to believe in an unseen Supreme Being we call God. The commonality between both beliefs is what we call Faith. So, if we are robots, and God is an alien, what happens when we die? Perhaps our consciousness is loaded into another robot. But, if that were the case, wouldn't there be a lot of us running around with memories of past lives? Oh, wait, there are some people who say they are. While I love the concept of robots with human consciousness, I have enough trouble getting through the day already. Now, get back in the Matrix, and let me get to it.
