    Two versions: Buddhism: escape. Theosophical Buddhism (their ideas): ascend to next stage (post death), roughly 4 more stages to go I think.

    Maybe some kind of morality calculator. You could monitor the internal self report of every being capable of experience to see if there is something like objective morality.

    Your questions make me nervous. Have you done this?

    And the theory would be that given enough time, life will create the perfect sitcom.

      Lol, I was thinking on that narrative and imagined a hapless scientist accidentally creating freewill/intelligence by not following some instructions on the simulator and one of the key indicators of doing this is the beings eating from the tree of life.

    “Despite everything, can you still be happy?”

    The theory for each of us who decides to continue living must hopefully on some level be “yes” or “maybe it doesn’t matter”

    This could be a extremely over engineered simulation for discovering medical procedures and cures… think about it if you can create a simulation where everything is happening some of those things could cause injuries or illness and some of those things get treated and some of those cases get better.

    Personally I believe we are just the imagination of a large language model whose job it is to spit out medical advice to real people.
