Think Matrix. . .

If you could wear a helmet that put you into a blissful simulation, while affluent overlords used your body for labor, pumped in nutrients, managed your reproductive needs, and killed you when everything started falling apart, would you do it?

I would like to say no, but let's be real. I can't even be 100% sure that I am NOT already in a simulation. And if it's a really good simulation... I mean I got hooked with effing Minecraft, what are the chances I would ever want to get out of the blissful one?

Note to the overlords: just put a meaningless counter on top and give me a way to "level up" sometimes and we're good ok? Do what you want with my body. It's not even great anyway, it spends a lot of time on a couch.
