Controversial Beliefs
Some mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

People using maths and shit to explain the universe…for example
There’s a school of thought that says the chances that we all just fragments of code in a giant simulation is as near as dammit 1 out of 1.
They say that once a civilisation reaches a level of technical ability it will inevitably create virtual universes, and the number of virtual people populating these universes will be massively more than living in reality. As the virtual civilisations progress they too will create virtual worlds, again with massive numbers of simulated people, who will progress and create……
And so on until all but 0.000000..billion zeros..001% of people are simulations.
What I’m really saying is if you have an overwhelming urge to stab-up your next door neighbour for parking in your space, go for it, none of it is real anyway.

Do "they" say why anyone would want to create such a simulation?

But if the simulation is just like reality, they won't get sex there either.

Fucking hell, he's barking.
Mixing the idea of screens, pixels and refresh rates with virtual worlds is about as silly as it gets. The the entities inside a virtual world there are no pixels or refresh rates.
He's just a philosopher who's bored.
