Many of us here on steemit have been excitedly talking about the possibility that reality may actually be a computer simulation with us at the simulants. I now am going to metaphorically speaking switch gears and come at it from a different perspective. I like considering different perspectives. Perspective can change everything.

Do you live in a simulation

You very well may spend at least a very large portion of your day dwelling within a computer created environment. This was the thought I found myself thinking about as I was driving home from removing some equipment from some of our racks at the data center.

What does your life consist of?

Mine is not outwardly complex.

I spend 90% of my waking time in front of a computer. I do this for work, and for entertainment. You see the majority of what my reality is resides inside of a computer. My deepest musings and thoughts are within a computer. When I have some weird experiment to try out. It is almost always inside of one or more computers.

Later at night I'll usually watch some shows and talk to my wife. We then fall asleep. I wake up and mostly return to the world of the computer.

This may seem incredibly dull, but I like to think, I like to use my mind. I may dive into books, and I will certainly watch documentaries, but when it comes to using my mind the computer seems to offer me a near infinite supply of materials to work with.

My friends in a slack that I frequent have called me a Machine, and they are not the first to do so. I call myself long winded, and that is certainly a candidate for understatement of the year. Some posts analyzing posting habits to try to detect bots awhile back always had me on their report. Why? I post no more than 4 blogs a day, but I do comment on a lot of posts and have dialogs with people. The end result is I appear to be all over the place.

This is kind of the reality I am in.

I can start reading blogs, replying, building thoughts, looking at news sites, buying software tools to build more things using funds from steemit, and barely come up for air.

So am I living in a computer simulation? At least 90% of the time I am awake that is likely...

Yes

How about you? Are you simply my neighbor, and we're hanging out here swapping neighborhood gossip and tales?

Parting words: Yes, I am aware I don't currently lead the most healthy of life styles.
