Yes it is becoming increasingly likely that reality is a simulation of some sort.

I read an interesting thought in one of Jacques Valles old books where he suggested the universe might be organised like a file system in a computer. Files in a computer are grouped by metadata e.g. timestamp, filetype etc.

What he meant by this is that things may also be grouped by metadata, but the metadata would be concepts. So things can be distant in time and space but still be related. That would explain weird coincidences and synchronisaties because these events are close to each other in the file system. If that makes any sense whatsoever.

The metadata is stored in your brain, or rather you ARE the metadata.
