Exploring Simulation Hypothesis
Simulation theory suggests that reality as we know it might be a highly advanced computer-generated simulation. This concept gained traction following popular films like 'The Matrix,' which portray worlds indistinguishable from our own. Different interpretations of simulation theory exist, notably the RPG (role-playing game) and NPC (non-player character) perspectives. While NPC views imply an existence driven by external coding and lack of free will, RPG perspectives assert that individuals have agency within the simulation, making active choices about their actions and paths.
