The chance we live in a simulation is very probable. I believe it was Elon Musk that made the analysis that soon our technology will be able to recreate (virtually) the world we live in, and that for that reason this must be a simulation. It's a good point, just as the double slit experiment proves how our observation influences the behaviour of our surroundings, without any actual contact. I do have my own believes which go a bit deeper, and if your interested I made an article a few months ago concerning this topic (link here).
Yes I just checked out your article, great read! How cool .. we even used the same video for the double slit experiment? LOL
I do definitely agree on considering philosophy, consciousness, and spirit in this equation, and I believe that God (or whatever anyone wants to call this ultimate force, being,...) is the origin of all existence and has ultimate control over all its aspects.
Thanks again!Thank you for stopping by and chiming into the discussion, @droucil
