Simulation Hypothesis

Bostrom did the math: odds are, this is rendered. Glitches file under 'Mandela.'

Bostrom's trilemma is quietly brutal: civilizations either die before simulating ancestors, choose not to, or we're almost certainly inside one. Physicists keep finding things that look uncomfortably like optimization — a maximum speed, a minimum length, information limits on black holes. The Mandela Effect crowd files its glitch reports; the theologians point out gnosticism said all this in the second century, with better prose.
