I Finally Understand Why Musk Is Convinced We Live in a 'Simulated World'

The author, an investor and entrepreneur, describes their initial skepticism towards Elon Musk's simulation theory—the idea that the probability we live in base reality is only one in a billion. Their perspective shifted after two personal experiences with seemingly inexplicable accuracy in predictions. First, a fortune-teller using traditional Chinese astrology consistently and accurately predicted investment outcomes and obstacles over more than a dozen instances. Second, a close friend, a highly educated Tarot card reader, provided remarkably precise and consistent readings across different methods. The friend explained that Tarot practice is like having "database access permissions" to a vast informational field—a metaphor that resonated deeply with the author. This led the author to reexamine the world through a programmer’s lens. They note several “coincidences” that align with the simulation hypothesis: - **Junk DNA**: The 98% of non-coding DNA resembles legacy code or commented-out functions in software. - **The Great Flood Myths**: Shared global flood narratives and the sharp drop in human lifespans afterward mirror a system reset or version update. - **Cosmic Limits**: The Big Bang resembles a system boot-up, the speed of light a CPU frequency limit, and déjà vu a caching error. The author concludes that viewing reality as a simulation makes these phenomena coherent. Rather than leading to nihilism, this perspective is liberating: although one’s “character settings” may be predetermined, the subjective experience of love, joy, and achievement remains real. The goal is to live fully within one’s own version, striving to reach one’s potential. The essay ends on an optimistic note: with tools like Web3 and AI, humanity may be transitioning from passive “players” to active “advanced players” capable of exploring and even altering the rules of the simulated world. The emphasis is not on proving the theory but on engaging meaningfully within the system.
