I've thought about that a whole bunch of times in different ways.
Ever consider the idea that the true reality is either super advanced technologicaly or nearly destroyed by a super advanced war and the denezins of that world escape the boredom/horror or their lives by playing a game where they live a life in this reality.
Think of the Matrix without the war against the machines part.

Also I've had the thought that our civilization is merely a science experiment for some kid from an alien race that is so advanced that we cant even really comprehend them.

It is fun to think about (especially while stoned), but it is mostly pointless unless you're wrighting a novel. So get to work cause hollywood is running out of fresh ideas
Esoteric416 Reviewed by Esoteric416 on . Has anyone ever thought...? Has anyone else ever thought that we - the entire universe - are nothing more than a speck of dust to something much larger? Have you ever been sitting in your house and the sun shines through your window at such an angle that illuminates all of the dust particles? Maybe this universe is nothing more than a dust particle. Just as some things are microscopic to us, why is it not possible that we are microscopic in scale to something else? This is just something that crosses my mind sometimes. Rating: 5
