And this is the reason why Christianity kind of resonated with the late antiquity pagans.

Wait is this another cave?
Always has been.
HOLLY SHIT! A TIME TRAVELING ASTRONAUT!
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
If you're in the cave and pull the lever the trolley kills five people and you get out of the cave.
If you're not in the cave you just kill five people. Do you pull the lever?
How do I know that someone isn't going to fully replace the trolley piece by piece after I pull the lever?
Because reconstructing the trolley requires an infinite number of workers and I heard they were having trouble with their hotel arrangements.
Theseus is busy, went to the past to kill his grandfather.
Is it an African or European trolley?
When you look at the world, you're actually perceiving the pattern of lights and shadows that pass through your iris onto the inside of your cave-like eyeball.
Wait is the simulation theory just another version of plato's cave?
What gnarly-ass cave is the universe itself inside? 🤔
Like, I don't know whether to believe that the universe is all-encompassing or if, it too, is just another layer of a matroska doll of containers.
Maybe I've gone too many years without religion, but sometimes the talk about simulations sounds less crazy than it should.
how would you know whether you're not in another cave again?
So's your mom
