Man I constantly ponder this kind of stuff for my own amusement and it's crazy. Imagine we are in a computer that changes the algorithm to present the choices you'd most likely choose. The more we choose things the more it molds our world in and if you make noble good choices you lead a good life and "good things" happen to you but if you choose bad things life get's tougher. Just being observed by a computer system and living through it's ever changing programming
Yeah, I always like to do the same too. It's really exciting to think about all the different possibilities of why life is here and how and who (if) is controlling us in any ways.
